Smoked Brisket Rub

Smoked Brisket Rub

It’s time to smoke a brisket and I have just the rub for you! This brisket rub will impart just the right amount of smoky flavor for that long, low and slow cook. These classic flavors are balanced to perfection, starting with sweet, mixed with heat and a hit of savory.
