I made a brisket this way just a week ago and it turned out great! Used a medium to heavy coating, ratio was 50/50 Kosher Salt and course ground pepper, I didn't end up foiling it all. Cooked it on a Weber Performer using the snake method and a few hickory chunks along the way. Oh and also made Franklin's BBQ sauce to go with it! Everything was a hit at my b-day party.

Kinda tired of people dumping on Mr. Franklin. But, he's on top, has been for a while, and some people won't rest until he's knocked down a peg. This I know for sure: prior to reading the Texas Monthly article naming Franklin's the best I was using a 4 part rub that included Montreal Steak seasoning and I made good brisket. But since I've switched to a LIGHT rub of just Kosher salt and large grain pepper, my brisket is phenomenal. Smoke, heat, salt, pepper. Done.

I should have read all the way through first, based on John's great initial post I may have jumped to the conclusion that Franklin was being "dumped on." My apologies to John for doing so.

I too used to do all kinds of fancy stuff to my brisket. Because of Aaron I started doing only S and P. Best briskets I've ever done although I agree it does get boring. I do a fairly heavy rub and it turns out great-not too salty at all.

As for salt and pepper, some would find it much too bland, some would find it too salty, and some would say it's not salty enough. There is no such thing as "real" bbq, because beauty is in the taste buds of the beholder. UNless you are boiling ribs, in which case of course that's the best, DUH!
I totally agree. It's like some areas of the country saying that it's a sin to put ketchup on a hotdog! Well I hate mustard but that hotdog taste darn good with some ketchup

Default Brisketry : Gonna play in Texas you gotta have S&P in tha band..

The funky dirty dalmatian from PitmasterT is my only rub and the one problem I have when I cook brisket's is theirs never enough. Weight measurements is key along with a some what low salt lemon pepper, everything you need to know to produce pedestal worthy meats is all here on the brethren. When older pitmasters say you go on feel not temp or probes like butter know that these folks aren't just blowing smoke...

Equal parts of salt, pepper, lemon pepper..



Texas Test Kitchen's are done,I'm about to grab this bull by the horns..

you're going to get about 10 different responses here.... not sure how it will help.

but for what it's worth I think oak is fantastic on brisket (texas post oak is first choice, followed by any general white oak, then red oak).. and if I had second and third choices it would be pecan and cherry.

Best way is to experiment for yourself and determine what you like best...

Good Luck !

Yeah, I figured there would be many opinions. I have a little cherry, pecan, and tons of apple. I do have a bag of the Jack Daniels oak as well. I love the apple on ribs and butts, but not sure how it would do with beef.
