We’re prepping to smoke a 12lb brisket tomorrow. I went looking for my copy of Beer Advocate, where I pulled the rub recipe from, to freshen up my addled mind. I couldn’t find it. This made me annoyed with me. Why can’t I put stuff back where it’s supposed to go? Seriously, this would make life easier.
By adding this post here, now I don’t need to put the magazine back where it’s supposed to. Problem solved.
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup paprika
1 tsp cheyenne
1 tbsp cocoa powder (I added this as an experiment this time. We’ll see if it makes any difference, better or worse)
I use all that on the brisket. Makum some good bark. 12ish hours at 225* later and you’ve got carnal carnivore delight.
That is all.

didn’t really notice anything from the 1tbsp of cocoa yesterday. gonna try 2tblsp next time and then give up if nothing happens.
one thing i was chatting about yesterday, though, was making a peanut butter based chipotle bbq sauce. or maybe, a mole style bbq sauce with a peanut butter sauce jiz splatter across it.
something to chew on…
