TEXAS BBQ RUB
A staple at my house. We rub this on most anything we BBQ. It makes a glaze as it cooks. I like it best on slow smoked ribs. Rub into meat 10 to 30 minutes before cooking.

TEXAS TRAVIS' BEST BRISKET LOVE-RUB.
While I lived in Texas, I studied barbecue. I'm not just talking about eating it. I studied it, it's a complex art that involves more than just meat and fire. I worked at one of the Texas Hill Country's finest barbecue establishments. I started as a server and eventually worked my way up assistant pit master. When I moved back to Oregon I brought this with me. This is a rub that me and one of my co-workers spent months back in the day perfecting. Either at home on my smoker, or at the pit this rub has won the hearts of many! It also goes great on ribs as well! Hope you guys like this.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients well, and apply liberally to brisket. Smoke brisket over hardwood for 12-14 hours in a 225 degree smoker. (depending on size)
- *Rember when you cut the brisket to cut it across the grain, and DONT put sauce on it, serve the sauce on the side!
- Serve with an ice cold beer, because everything tastes better with a good craft beer!
Tips:
- Use a variety of spices. The best BBQ rubs use a combination of sweet, savory, smoky, and spicy flavors. Some common spices used in BBQ rubs include paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make a great BBQ rub. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your own taste.
- Apply the rub liberally. A good BBQ rub should be applied to the meat generously. This will help to ensure that the meat is evenly flavored.
- Let the rub rest on the meat for at least 30 minutes. This will give the spices time to penetrate the meat and develop their flavor.
- Cook the meat over indirect heat. This will help to prevent the meat from drying out.
- Baste the meat with the BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of cooking. This will help to caramelize the sauce and give the meat a delicious glaze.
Conclusion:
The perfect BBQ rub is one that is flavorful, well-balanced, and easy to use. With a little experimentation, you can create a rub that will make your BBQ the talk of the town.
