One more thing: should I salt and pepper overnight or will all the salt dry out the meat? Season ahead of time or right before cooking? Pellet smoker

Can't hurt the night before but I've always done it a few hours before throwing it on the smoker.

I always inject pork butts, but cook brisket w/o injection, but... I just picked up a 17 lb. prime packer from Costco. Trimmed out nicely it weights about 15.8 lbs. It's going to take a little longer than my usual 10-12 lb. packer (before trimming), so to prevent drying out, I injected two cups of unsalted beef broth. No extra seasoning, though. I just want it to stay moist.

And I use coarse Kosher salt, half a teaspoon per pound of trimmed brisket and let it sit for two hours to soak in the salt. Then rub the brisket with a mix of brown sugar, onion, mustard, garlic, ancho and cayenne powders, along with smoked paprika. I rub all that in, then add coarse ground black pepper as the final rub into the brisket, and then sprinkle an 80/20 mix of coarse black pepper and kosher salt on top of the brisket once I put it on the grill.

I use this too. I'm a fan. Their jerk rub "Jamaican Fire Walk" is really good on ribs and chicken.

I like paprika, Chile, and herbs in a brisket run in addition to the salt and pepper.

After cooking thousands of briskets and watching them as they were cooking, we decided to perfect a brisket seasoning that was designed for large cuts of meat such as beef brisket and pork butts.
Only AFTER cooking thousands did they decide to make the perfect seasoning. You'd think maybe after the first 100 they'd have it down, but no. Thousands.

Well they won multiple Grand championships at the Houston livestock rodeo during that time so I'm guessing they did alright in the meantime.

And I beat 100 other teams for brisket using the original rub so there's that.

I called his business after hours one time in a situation where I needed 8lbs of rub for a commitment in a hurry and he just threw them in the mail right then and said just send a check later or whatever.

Briskets taste better with more seasoning and injections. I mean it is the truth.


Everyone worships that bullshite Aaron Franklin put in his YouTube videos. Have to stick to that lol.

S&P is good, but adding more to the mix can produce better. I’ve tried injecting, but not found anything I liked. I usually stick to homemade dry rub with things like paprika and cayenne added in.
