I’m going to be cooking a brisket this weekend and find myself in a quandary. We have some things going on that will cut into my normal prep routine. Basically, the two choices I have are to season the brisket about 12 hours before it goes into the smoker, or immediately before it goes in. I usually season my brisket 2-3 hours before putting it in the smoker.
My rub is a pretty simple SPOG with a couple of extra ingredients (smoked paprika and celery seed). Is 12 hours in advance too soon to season a brisket? Thanks for your thoughts.
