Brisket Question - Rub

[Illini2000]

How far in advance do you apply rub on your brisket?  I usually do overnight. Trying to find what Aaron Franklin does, but can’t pin it down.

Night before is fine. You can also just put it on 15-30 minutes before it hits the cooker.

This. I don't marinade. Just a salt and pepper rub before the brisket goes on the grill. And sometimes if I get a wild hair I rub the whole thing down with some good spicy mustard and then hit it with pepper after that. I don't use salt in that case because the mustard is salty enough. It makes a nice crust but it is kinda not necessarily very traditional so as always, check local laws and ordinances before trying this at home, folks :-}
