Everyday since the dawn of time, man has used fire to feed their families.
Motley Que's Brisket Rub ensures your brisket will taste amazing no matter which old or new technique you use.
Brisket is simultaneously one of the most rewarding and most challenging cuts to cook well. The difference between mediocre brisket and championship-level brisket often comes down to seasoning—not just what seasonings you use, but how they interact with the meat during the long cooking process. Brisket Fixx is formulated specifically for the unique requirements of this iconic BBQ cut.
The rub works with any brisket cooking method, whether you're using a traditional offset smoker, a pellet grill, a kamado-style cooker, or even a home oven for a "faux" brisket. The versatility comes from understanding what brisket needs regardless of cooking method: a well-balanced seasoning that enhances the beef flavor, promotes bark formation, and creates visual appeal with good color development.
Brisket's long cooking time—typically 12-16 hours for a full packer—means your rub needs to perform over that extended period. Some seasonings that work on quick cooks become acrid or overpowering during long smokes. Brisket Fixx is balanced to develop flavor gradually, creating deeper, more complex taste as the hours progress without becoming bitter or overwhelming.
The rub promotes beautiful bark formation, that crusty, flavorful exterior that's one of the hallmarks of excellent brisket. The bark isn't just cosmetic—it provides textural contrast and concentrated flavor that makes each bite interesting. As the brisket renders fat and creates moisture on its surface, the rub ingredients interact with that moisture and heat to create the bark through a combination of drying and caramelization.
Apply Brisket Fixx generously to all surfaces of your trimmed brisket. Many pitmasters use a 50/50 mix of the rub with coarse black pepper for the classic "Texas style" bark, while others use the rub on its own for more complex seasoning. Either approach works—the rub is designed to be versatile enough to support your preferred technique.
Whether you're cooking for a competition where judges will scrutinize every detail, preparing brisket for a family gathering in Edmonton, or just wanting to master this iconic BBQ challenge, Brisket Fixx provides the seasoning foundation for success. The rub takes one variable off the table—you can focus on fire management, temperature control, and timing while knowing your seasoning is dialed in. When your brisket comes off the smoker with a deep mahogany bark and incredible beefy aroma, you'll know the Brisket Fixx delivered.
