Great barbecue brisket is built layers of flavor. Those layers start with the barbecue rub. Brisket rubs can be simple or complex.

Not every rub is going to match your tastes but by browsing these recipes you are certain to find something that fits your needs perfectly.

Before you start picking out a barbecue rub for your brisket I would like to give you a few tips. First of all, how much rub do you apply. The answer is how much the meat will hold. Yes, pat dry your brisket and sprinkle with rub (no, you don't actually have to rub it on). Whatever stays on is the amount you want. The second tip is about timing. When should you apply your rub. If the rub you are using contains a lot of salt you want to apply it right before you put the brisket in the smoker. If the the rub doesn't have a lot (or any) salt then you can apply it several hours in advance to let the flavors sink in.

This is a simple rub that combines three heats to hit the tongue in perfect proportion. By putting black pepper with cayenne (and chili powder in this case) you get a double dose of heat.

This rub starts with a good portion of salt, but don't worry. By using a coarse salt it will absorb slower into the meat. This means that the brisket won't pick up too much of the saltiness. Don't apply this rub too early or the surface of the meat will begin to cure.
