Ive done many. I soaked them overnight with a few water changes. Then rub with the one TNJAKE linked up above. they turn out very good. they usually cook faster than an uncured brisket too.

Do you treat them the same as far as the smoke goes with uncured brisket?

yup, temps and all are the same. they are real easy. Never had one dry out or not turn out good.
