Tasty Brisket Dry Rub Recipe

Odd? Maybe. Tasty? Yep! The coffee in this beef brisket dry rub recipe adds a subtle, unique flavor to the finished brisket.

If you are using a water smoker, add several cups of brewed coffee to the water pan, along with a sliced onion, some celery, and enough water to fill. These flavors will baste the brisket as it smokes.

If you don't want to fire up the smoker, you can oven-bake this one. Set the oven to 225 degrees, and place the brisket on a rack in large pan.

Add one tablespoon of Wright's Liquid Smoke to the brisket mopping sauce, and mop it every hour until it's done.
