I have several rubs that I use on brisket; depending on how I am smoking them. This is my rub for an overnight dry rub, and then cooked low-and-slow. I have reduced the salt and the sugar… The salt because an overnight rub with too much salt will toughen the meat. The reduced sugar because the long slow cooking times will cause sugars to burn. If you want an overnight rub to smoke at a low temperature, this is the rub you want. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

PLAN/PURCHASE
3 tablespoons paprika, sweet or hot, your choice

How To Make brisket essentials: overnight low-and-slow rub

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

My favorite woods to smoke with this rub are applewood and cherry. They give a sweet taste to the final product.
Step 3

Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
Step 4

Add the ingredients together, and store in a jar with a tight-fitting lid until ready to use.
Step 5

Rub the brisket with the dry spice, and leave uncovered in the fridge overnight. Then, set your smoker to 225f (105c), and cook until the brisket reaches a temp of about 195f (90c). This could take from 3 or 4 hours to 3 or 4 days.
Step 6

Okay, maybe not 3 – 4 days, but as one of my teachers at the CIA told me when I asked when the brisket will be done, he said: It will be done, when it is done.
Step 7

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 8

Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides. Enjoy.
Step 9

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
