How to Use Barbecue Rubs

  • Use these rubs to season your brisket (or other meat you want to barbecue).
     
  • Rub the dry mixture evenly over the meat, massaging it into every pore you can find.
     
  • Place the rubbed meat in a plastic bag and refrigerate for several hours before cooking, preferably overnight.
