I've been playing with this for years and I like this one pretty well. It is the right amount for one brisket.
4 tsp salt
4 tsp black pepper
2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp New Mexico chile powder
Stir or shake well, crush any lumps. Spread the whole mixture over the surface of one whole brisket before cooking. Top and bottom and all sides.
Cook with the fat up. I like to cook it at 233 degrees F for around 10-12 hours.
Some options that work and you might like the taste. Try them one at a time or on combination. These are the right proportions by my taste.
1 tsp dry mustard
4 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp thyme
Don't ever add sugar, pineapple, other fruit, tomato, honey or molasses before cooking. It can be spread on for the last hour if you like it sweeter. I prefer to put the sweetness in the sauce.
