Instructions
- 1
Coat the brisket point all over with the yellow mustard in a thin, even layer — this acts as a binder for the rub. Combine all dry rub ingredients in a small bowl, then press the rub firmly onto every surface of the brisket. Wrap loosely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Prepare your smoker for indirect cooking at 250°F (121°C) using oak or hickory wood. Remove the brisket from the refrigerator 30 minutes before smoking.
