just wondering can i rub it and let it sit overnight to start smoking in the morning ...this will be the first whole brisket i have done ...btw not sure but i felt like that was a good price too
 
I rub mine if I am not doing a comp then smoke the next day. Should be fine. I cant really say I paid attention to the price on the last one I bought but that price doesn't look bad to me.
 
I've let steaks sit with a good S&P&G rub in the fridge, open to the air and turned ever so often, with good results so I imagine it wouldn't hurt a brisket. 2.58/lb would be a good price around here if choice.
 
There is no real advantage to it, I light my fire and do my prep while the pit is warming up. If I take my time it might take 20 min to do a brisket and that includes walking it out to the pit.
 
Okay, I am officially jealous of the brisket prices you all are talking about. I never can find Choice for less than $4.99/lb. Of course, I haven't gone to RD yet either. Mostly shopping at butcher shops.

Yeah but what quality of brisket? We normally run about $1.99 a lb for Choice. I won't cook less than Choice for brisket.

To the OP, $2.58 ain't bad. Would sure would like to see how you trimmed that rig. Where's the fat cap etc.

Looks like a good cut. :thumb:
 
I usually prep mine with s&p and inject the night before just so I don't have to mess with it later. I like to take my time so I make sure I'm not forgetting anything and think things through.
 
since this is my first whole brisket i also decided to use my char-griller w/fire box as a stick burner for the first time lol this has been a lot of fun
