Beef Brisket Rub Suggestions?

Agree, let the meat do the talking! IMO, when I see people use A1 or Worcestershire sauce on steaks, I figured it's because the meat is bad, lol. I've heard John Henry's is very good, have a friend that swears by it, but never used it myself.
I watched some Aaron Franklin on YouTube the other day and decide to stick with 2 to 1 course black pepper to kosher salt and a little garlic on a Wagyu brisket yesterday. It came out awesome flavor, juicy and meat melted in our mouths. My wife never goes for seconds, but she did this time. I smoked at 225F, used B&B post oak, and added walnut oil as base for the rub to stick. Here are some pics, but it's all gone today and didn't last 24hrs, haha.

Wow !! that looks great. how long did it cook for?

If I dont use a dalmation rub then I use this one. I've got few and I'll post them little later. If notice there is zero salt listed, that's because I dry brine all my packer briskets for 24hr.


3 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons mustard powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons American chili or ancho powder
1 teaspoon chipotle or cayenne powder

I use this one as well, it's from Meathead over at amazingribs.com and called Big Bad Beef Rub. I increase the pepper to 4 T and the garlic to 1 1/2 T. . .just right for about a 20 lb. brisket.
