so im thinking of trying a new seasoning type or rub i guess for my next brisket..i plan on using a good bbq sauce and honey mix..  gonna heat it up on the stove and add just a lil bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little kick..followed by webers kc bbq rub, and then basted during the smoking with just bbq sauce..

thots?
 
For brisket I usually stick to a pretty basic rub.

Coat with thick Worcestershire sauce.

Then sprinkle Montreal steak seasoning all over it.

Put a pan under the brisket to catch the juices, with beef stock, onions & garlic in it.

De-fat the juices & use for au jus.
 
Tirrin,

Are you planning on rubbing down with BBQ sauce when you first put the brisket on or are you using a rub first and then finishing with the BBQ sauce?
 
the plan goes as so...trim the brisket---then bbq sauce/honey mix--then the rub--then bbq sauce after it hits 175ish--then remove at 190-195--wait 15 mins, slice and enjoy
 
Let us know how it works out for you,  Most of us don't put BBQ sauce on that early but i'm interested to learn how it works out  for you.  Don't forget the Qview.
 
I don't think I've ever sauced beef before. I usually just do a FCP&KS rub with some rosey and thyme and garlic. I will inject sometimes, but haven't sauced one. I'll be watching to see what you come up with..
 
I have mopped brisket but never sauced it, especially not that early in a cook.

As far as what temp you are cooking to remember that it's internal temp AND how tender it is when you probe it - you don't want to pull it too soon. I am looking forward to seeing how this wirks fr you - Good luck and have fun!
 
Very interested to hear how the BB Turns out...take some great pics and post the progress.  Best wishes on the Smoke Out...

I just called tonight and ordered a 13-14lb BB for this weekend from the local butcher, he always gives me a nice cut of meat.  I am thinking of trying the Coffee & Spice Rub, it smells so Good.
