Grilling Your Brisket

One of the key elements to a good brisket is a dry rub. This not only gives the meat a nice spicy flavor, but it also adds flavor and helps the meat retain moisture. The trick to creating a good dry rub is in your spices. The dry rub should not include salt. Salt is a major reason why brisket gets dry and rubbery. For the rub, combine 1 tablespoon each of paprika, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder, plus 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Put the rub on the brisket for 10 minutes and then allow it to rest at least an hour before cooking. After about an hour, you will need to flip the brisket to ensure it has an even crust. After it has rested, you can grill the brisket on a charcoal grill. The goal is to cook the brisket at around 200 degrees F, which should take at least 12 to 15 hours. This will produce a nice bark and prevent the brisket from drying out.
