I've used this rub on the last four Brisket's I've put in the cooker - and I'm hard pressed to imagine any reason why I won't use on the next Brisket. It's one of the key elements to my 36-hour Odyssey Brisket process which you can read about here.

Brisket Rub:
Ingredients:
4 Tbs Kosher Salt
4 Tbs Raw Hawaiian Sugar
2 Tbs Ground Cumin Seeds
4 Tbs McCormick Chili powder
2 Tbs Cracked Black Pepper
1 Tbs Cayenne Pepper (fine ground)
4 Tbs Hungarian Paprika
2 Tbs Thyme Ground
Preparation Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a blender (or food Processor) and liquefy in
short bursts until consistent in texture/color. Shake after each short burst
to stir that which settles to the bottom. The food processor will heat the
spices enough to blend the flavors without burning them.
Store this Rub in an air-tight container until used.
Store in an airtight container until needed.
