Texas Travis' Best Brisket Love-Rub.

Submitted by Throwdown_King

"While I lived in Texas, I studied barbecue. I'm not just talking about eating it. I studied it, it's a complex art that involves more than just meat and fire. I worked at one of the Texas Hill Country's finest barbecue establishments. I started as a server and eventually worked my way up assistant pit master. When I moved back to Oregon I brought this with me. This is a rub that me and one of my co-workers spent months back in the day perfecting. Either at home on my smoker, or at the pit this rub has won the hearts of many! It also goes great on ribs as well! Hope you guys like this."

Just tried this rub and smoked with pecan. Best brisket I ever made. Neighbors thought so too. Didn't have the chipotle so skipped it. Look forward to making another brisket and including the chipotle.

I really loved this, thanks for posting! I used the smoked paprika, and omitted the cayenne, as I am not fond of a lot of heat. Actually, I didn't use it on brisket, but on a New York stip steak. Wrapped it in cling wrap and refrigerated overnight. Yum! Made for Fall PAC 2012
