Prepare the Brisket
Trim any excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat for flavor. Rinse the brisket under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

Rub the dry rub mixture all over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated. Wrap the brisket in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
