    Two rubs on one brisket?

    I am going to smoke a prime packer brisket but I want to try two different rubs. I want to try just salt and pepper for the first rub and the second rub is oakridge black ops rub. Can I use two different rubs on the same brisket? If I put one rub on half of the brisket and the other rub on the other half will there be a problem or contamination of the two rubs?

    I say "go for it"! A good way to test the difference on the exact same brisket.

      I did it. We will see how it turns out. Putting it on the smoker right now.

        I've done that before. What I do is lay a piece of paper or foil or something along a perpendicular line across the grain and add rub 1, then move it and add rub 2. Then place a toothpick right at the joint of the two as a visual indicator for later when the whole thing is black, going parallel to the rub line (perpendicular to the grain). Then when I slice against the grain I cut right at that mark, then each half has the different rub.

          Well the brisket been on all night. Huskee I took your advice and wrapped at 180 deg to get more bark. Just put them back on for the finally.

                Not as good as I wanted. I thought it was done but it was a little tough. First full packer I have cooked. The point had a lot of fat in it. I am guessing I did not cook it all the way.

                  I believe part of your problems, especially from the first photo, is you didn't carve it properly. I you don't cut against the grain it will be tough. Second pic looks like the fat and collagen are breaking down so you were going good there. Small smoke ring though, I'm guessing more cook time for sure.

                No rules in BBQ or the bedroom! Go for it, if you want to be super OCD about it, use a little mustard sauce to coat the first half, apply your rub to help adhesion. Then repeat for the second half, to minimise boundary overlap! Man that sounds scientific.

                  Said differently, if at first you don't succeed, try try again !!!!
