Hard to beat good old SPOG for brisket. I also like Weber's chili cocoa.

Definitely can't beat the purist approach of SPOG.

I'd stick with Franklin's standard of salt and black pepper. Tried and true.

What ratio should I be shooting for on a spog rub?

 

[Braz]

This is my basic version. Adjust to your own taste. The cayenne is optional, I like a little zing.
1 Part Kosher Salt
1 Part Black Pepper
.5 Part Granulated Garlic
.5 Part Granulated Onion
.25 Part Cayenne or Chipotle Powder

One of each.

Hi there and welcome!

I do SPOG on my briskets as well. Heck on most stuff and then add an additional seasoning as needed. SPOG is freaking amazing, simple, and hard to beat!

As for amounts on brisket I do 1x S, O, and G. 2x coarse black Pepper.

I have a big seasoning container that I pre mix it in. I do 1/4 cup of S,O,G and 1/2 a cup of P. I just do that over and over until the container gets almost full and I stop. It's super simple :)

Thanks everyone for your help, probably will try SPOG, looking for a rub that is not overly spicy as we will have some children eating this with us

Jeff's beef is pretty spot on for flavor imo

Do you guys inject your briskets ?

Do you guys inject your briskets ?

I don't inject briskets or pork butts. Only turkey or chicken quarters.
Recently I made the mistake of injecting a Tri Tip and it totally ruined that nice beefy flavor.
I'll never know whatever possessed to do that. Lesson learned.

Do you guys inject your briskets ?

Nope I do not. Have had no need to. I also just let mine ride in the smoker no wrapping or anything like that. I have found I like the flavor best that way :)

 

[SmokinAl]

S&P, and if you inject, just beef stock.
Go for the brisket flavor!

Got to agree, the tried and true Texas approach of using only Salt & Pepper allows the brisket flavor to shine through.

 

[seenred]

Agree with others about SPOG...or even just S & P to keep it simple. IMO ratios of each depend on personal taste. I like 1 part salt and 2 parts pepper myself. And I rarely inject a brisket, but when I do, like Al I use only beef broth with maybe a little worcestershire...I don't want to cover up the beef flavor of the brisket.
