Ryan's Brisket

This is my favorite brisket recipe...it does have a little kick to it......

2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp ground cumin
2 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp black pepper
2 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp cayenne

Combine all ingredients and rub all over the brisket before cooking.

Makes one cup of rub...enough for a small brisket, but a 10 pounder will require 2 cups.

Cook the brisket as you normally would. I like to use the smoker for the first few hours, then put it in the oven to finish it up.

Basting sauce

3 cups white vinegar
2/3 cup stale coffee
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp cayene
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dry mustard

Periodically slop this on the meat during the cooking or smoking process.
