Greetings fellow smokers. I am a hawg meat kinda guy and have only smoked a few briskets over the years. I have a really good looking 7.4 POUND flat that I am going to smoke Friday. Going to use 3 rubs. I have never applied rubs on brisket and left in the refrigerator overnight. I usually rub them down and throw on the stick burner. What do y'all think? OK or NO go.

IMO, applying the salt early will in effect brine the meat allowing the salt to penetrate deep within the meat. This will aid in moisture retention and flavor.
3 rubs? Not necessary IMO. Brisket needs only salt and pepper...with a little garlic and onion powder optional. let the smoke and the meat shine once that collagen breaks down like butta!
 
Its the only way I do it now.SMOG and not much more most of the time.

This will be my Daytona 500 main course this Sunday.

GO CHASE!

As y'all can see from the picture, I paid bout $6.50 per pound. This is a quality meat place. Flat looks good to me. What are you guys paying per pound around the country for quality brisket flat. Just curious.

I never see flats except for ultra trimmed ones at the supermarket, which are not really suitable for smoking - they go for around $6-7 for Choice.

I usually get USDA Prime packers from Costco for $3, and Choice for a little less.
