While I'm totally intimidated by the grill/smoker and outdoor cooking, Jimmy is a master at it. I handled the seasoning/rub and Jimmy handled the smoking of this juicy brisket! The way this was prepared and smoked left a very favorful crunchy crust around a tender and juicy brisket. Source for "Rub": Amazing Ribs.com
