Anyone used Jeff'S Texas Style Rub on a brisket?

Jeff's tx rub is solid, but I also increase the salt juuuust a bit. I use it straight up for say burgers or quick cook beef, but the longer roasts need a bit more salt Imho

I actually smoked my first brisket last weekend and based on the rub I was originally going to do, I increased the salt on his texas style by 1 unit. Flavor was great!

I'm a superfan of black pepper personally, so I may or may not add a good deal of fresh ground (I have GOT to get an electric grinder!) Pepper on bigger roasts like that.

The last 3 briskets I bought ended up getting converted to pastrami. Possibly because I could smash it with peppercorn melange. Who's to say.
