    Brisket

    I've seen a couple YouTube videos with competition guys using brown sugar for bark on brisket like when you wrap ribs, johnny trip style. Wouldn't that make beef to sweet!

    I would not do that with brisket; although I have never tried it. The only time I use brown sugar is when I am doing ribs. Some of the commercial rubs I use have sugar in them. However, I am not inclined to add more to the surface. In competitive BBQ appearance matters, but so does flavor.
    Brisket needs that big beefy flavor and I think that is diminished when sweetness is thrown into the mix.

        I don't add any sugar to my home made rubs, but I have been using Plowboys Bovine Bold occasionally, which is a bit on the sweet side, used by a lot of competition teams, and it's got a very good flavor.

          @BBQbot... I seen these videos and thought it was some secret. I told my wife and she looked at me like I was growing horns. I would never try it. Brisket isn't a cheap throw away if it comes out wrong. Waiting on my BPS cash cow & 55 gal Gateways to try them out. I'll definitely look for plowboys. My 1st comp is in 2 months in pueblo. Beer Boats & BBQ. Just trying to finalize everything. Thank you for the words of wisdom.

                I've only seen it done on Pitmasters. I think the guy called it a "sugar cookie". I'm not sure it's something I would enjoy but, to each their own.
