Smoking up a packer this weekend. Plan on using Gators brisket rub for the first time
Instruction call for a thick layer of the rub. Seeings how this be my 3rd attempt at brisket ....first one I applied way too much salt, second one didn't have enough rub as in kinda bland.
Anyone used Gators brisket rub ? A thick layer to me means covering the outside of the packer with the rub so as not being able to see through the rub, would that be right

I don't recall having used the brisket rub before but I can offer a general rule of thumb: Taste the rub you're using yourself and if salt is a prominent taste, use it frugally. If salt is not very prominent at all, then fire away!!

SB makes some great rubs but some of them have a little kick so keep that in mind. If you are feeding anybody that's not good with spice go easy on it.

I can't say specifically about the brisket rub since in use S&P but that is from experience on the other rubs.

Again, great flavor but tends to have some kick to it.

Hey Bill - looks like a good weekend in store for you!

The Brisket Rub is not super high in salt, so a fully coated layer like the one below is fine. Alternatively - I like to use a layer of SPG then a layer of Brsket Rub, thats a good combo too...hope this helps.

Thanks all
I'v got two strikes on me when it comes to brisket. Hopefully I'll get the right amount of rub down on this one.
Thanks for the photo Gator. Gives me a good idea of how much to put on.
