Anyone have a favorite dry rub for brisket?

[diesel737]

Hi, I have had my PBC going on a year now.  I love this cooker, so simple.  I have watched the company videos, and have followed them pretty much all the way.  My pork ribs are awesome, and chicken is getting better everytime, but I really want to perfect the brisket.

In the past I have used the company beef and game rub for ribs and brisket.  They are both very good and I get a lot of great response from those eating it.  However, while both being really good, the rub gives it too much of a similar taste.  I would like to try another good rub for brisket if anyone is willing to share theirs.

Also, one thing I found that I like is low sodium beef broth instead of the regular when wrapping it and putting it back in.  Just found it to be too salty.

Thanks for your help!
Chris

Tatonka dust is great for brisket!

I also love the John Henry's Pecan Rub. Zach's is also great too!

 I make a rub that we seem to like pretty well.  3 parts Dark roast coffee , 2 parts Redfish Magic, one part garlic powder, salt  to taste. (Grind the coffee to a powder).
   I have found just adding the coffee to several other pre-made seasonings adds a nice flavor as well so you might test that. Just kick up the seasoning you have a little.
 I use it on steaks , hamburgers, brisket any beef. Beef likes it for sure.
 Someone here was talking about putting it on pork last week . I thought that would be worth a try as well.

Although I use proportionately less salt, there's no better rub for brisket, tri-tip, and most other beef cuts than salt, pepper, and garlic. Pork, chicken, seafood, etc. may need extra flavor but I want beef to taste like beef and that's the way to do it.

Similar to mine, I add 1 part onion powder to that combo. Simple is best for beef

I really like the rubs muebe is suggesting. From Savor I like Way Out West and the experimental M-3. And Tatonka Dust is excellent! Haven't tried John Henry's Pecan, but most of the rest and like them all.

Shazam brisket rub = 15% ground espresso + 50% wow + 45% M-3.  outstanding on brisket, chucky or nice fat steak.

That sounds good - will try it this weekend (even if it is a bit more than 100%  .) Thanks!

The rub I used on the last brisket I cooked:
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon chipotle powder
1 teaspoon black pepper

And greetings from Las Vegas.
