The Day Before
- Allow your Brisket time to thaw out in your refrigerator
The Night Before – For Best Results allow rub your brisket 10-12 hours before the cook. However, a shorter time is fine as well.
- OPTIONAL (Coat the Brisket in yellow mustard in order to help the rub to adhere to the meat.)
- Generously Coat the Brisket in either the Suckle Buster’s or Killer Hog’s Rub, or create a rub of your own! Massage the rub into the meat until you achieve complete coverage. If you used the mustard method, the rub will form a paste like consistency over the meat.
