    Pit Barrel Brisket (part 2)

    Hung another brisket in the Pit Barrel Cooker (PBC) this weekend.  Was anxious to try out my new iGrill2, so picked up an 8lb brisket from HEB on a whim.  Rubbed it down with mixture of mustard and pickle juice, and then applied the Pepper/Salt rub.  Let it sit overnight.

    Here's the finished brisket... It was so tender and delicious.  Rubbed the brisket with pickle juice and mustard first, then a simple rub of pepper, salt, seasoned salt, and garlic powder (per John Lewis of La Barbeque in Austin).  Wrapped it at 155, pulled it off at 203.  Sat in cooler for 2...
