One of the best characteristics of a smoked brisket is the way the smoke enhances the meat's natural flavor. This flavor is mostly derived from the thin, top layer of fat. It is this fat that melts its way into the brisket as it cooks within the smoker. To make this moist and juicy cut taste even better, coat your brisket with this Smoked Brisket Rub, a flavorful blend of spices and herbs, before smoking.
