What kind of rub do you have on there?

What kind of rub do you have on there?

It's a mix of 50% Kosher Salt and 50% Black Pepper on top of Mustard. Then a sprinkling of Tatonka Dust. Awesome Bark as you will see in updated pictures tomorrow.

It's what's known as a dalmation rub. Very popular here in Texas.

I had always heard about The Dalmation Rub but honestly never knew what it consist of. I started with it after viewing a A Franklin video. I liked it fine but my wife was very used to what I had previously used, just Tatonka Dust. So I compromised and used the "Dalmation" and then a light coating of Tatonka Dust and we found the perfect profile for us. Guess I'll have to use a variation name. maybe the DT rub, for Dalmation-Tatonka Rub. Food for thought anyway. Thanks Dale, for the education!

Now you done made me hungry Doug! 

[DivotMaker]

Very, very nice, Doug!!

If you really want to make folks think that brisket was done on wood, give it a sprinkle of Morton's Tender Quick, wrap it and rest it in the fridge for 30 min to an hour.  Then, rinse thoroughly, pat it dry, and apply your mustard and rub.  It will have the prettiest "faux" smoke ring!  Doesn't effect the flavor, but food is visual, and lots of folks see that pretty pink ring and think it looks better, so it must taste better!  (Even though we know the truth...the smoke ring is just eye candy!)

At any rate, that looks really good, to me, ring or no ring!

[EFGM]

Thanks Dale,Libohunden, Bob and Tony!
I have never used Tender Quick. Have heard of it over time. Have a couple of friends that always look for a Ring. Kind of fun educating them
on the fact it has no impact on taste and is not even supposed to be considered by judges. Myself I'm Colorblind so all I can see is a darker
ring. Might have to give it a try. Do you guys use it on a regular basis? Also provides an opportunity to promote the "Lazy Q" smoking to those who inquire so perhaps more people can enjoy the goodness of same. I find most who use the "Evil Stick Burners" (LOL) don't have a hangup about it, at least in my circle of participants of goodness.

I use it whenever I do a brisket on the SI (which is now the only one of my cookers that I do brisket on). So...yeah, I use it every time, lol.
