I can't go through an entire brisket since its just my wife and me. Too much meat, too much money.
My sister suggested this: She said she likes to slow smoke a thick cut sirloin steak. She puts it in the smoker frozen, and lets it smoke for about four hours. Then slices it thin. Seems like it would be tough, but she says it turns out perfect. Hmmm....i don't know. I'd want to do one at least not frozen, maybe lather it up with olive oil and some spices. What do you think? Should I start by testing a $1 Dollar General Steak? |

Simple is better with brisket, IMO. Santa Maria style beef is the only way to go. I've taken my standard rub out of the rotation on briskets - it's a pork only device now. The basics have served me well.

Salt and pepper. I have never really seen the need for a rub on brisket I just salt and liberally shake a coating of pepper and it comes out fine. Nothing wrong with a rub I just have found its a necessary step and watched many competition bbq'ers do the salt and pepper rub.

I think a lot of people go 1-1 but I go heavier on pepper. Maybe 1 part salt, 1 part garlic powder, 1.5-2 parts pepper?

I'm in the South. I can get pork here under $2/lb., but if I can even find a brisket, it's only the flat (I can't even ORDER a butcher pack), and they're always north of $7/lb, occasionally more than $8/lb. Costco is the only place I've found them under $7. |

Google is showing me typically 1:1 on salt/pepper... I'll trust my gut and just season it so it looks right.

As I've said before - anyone that says they've unlocked the holy grail of barbecue is full of shit. At best, we're all just providing other folks with recommendations that they should tailor to what they like. I'd just point out that most of what you're seeing online is probably for a grill rub and I think that has a tendency to scorch off a little more salt than a slow smoke does. So if you're using a Santa Maria grill rub on a smoke, I think you'll get just a little more salt flavor than you want with those grill ratios. Just a thought. Your mileage may vary.
