I rubbed it with 1/4 cup salt 1/4 cup pepper, and 1/8 cup garlic powder. Didn't quite use all of it...I used the rest of the rub on that little hunk of meat you see at the top of the first pic. I forgot to mention, I put that on at noon after I took off the brisket, let it smoke until 4pm...rested a half hour, cut in chunks, seasoned again, and put on some bbq sauce...then I put it back on the grill which was then running 350 for some baked potatoes. One hour later...burnt ends. No pics as they went QUICK.
