1/4
cup
black pepper
(16-mesh coarse ground)

chili powder
brown sugar

Combine all ingredients together in a container or small bowl.
Use it right away on your brisket or store it in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Notes
Makes 1/2 cup of rub
, which is how much you need for an 8 to 12-pound brisket. If it is larger, just make some extra rub.
Add-in ingredients:
Use 1 to 2 tablespoons for any that you want to add.
Apply to the meat at least
1-hour prior to cooking
.
Can be stored in an airtight container for 3 months
without sugar added.
For pellet smokers
, sugar can help develop bark which is normally harder to get in this type of smoker.
