Have you ever rubbed down a brisket twice?

I'm putting a brisket on the smoker early Sunday morning for Father's Day and I did my rub yesterday. I was thinking of doing again tonight or tomorrow. I've never done it that way before, but I love to experiment. My concern is that the seasoning will overpower the meat. That happened to me before injecting a turkey on two different days. Anyone ever done this before? Thanks.

you put a rub with tons of salt on a brisket 3 days before you plan on cooking it?
that salt is gonna pull moisture out of the meat

I wouldn't have done it last night. I'd have waited until no earlier than Saturday morning. Overnight is plenty of time.

In the past I've actually done it a couple of days before, but just did it yesterday. It always comes out super juicy and moist. But, next time I may just do it the night before. Thanks for the tip.
Eta: By the way, Albertson's has their briskets on sale for $1.99/lb. Super cheap.

To answer your question directly, I'd say no if your original rub has a "typical" amount of salt in it. If you want to do just aromatics, sans the salt, then give it a try. I'd wrap that sucker up tight!

You talking about wrapping it up in the fridge, on the grill or both?

might as well do it one more time after you cook it.

Twice?! Hell in my teenage days I used to “rub down my brisket” three or four times a day!

wrap it tight in cling wrap until you cook it to keep moisture in.
