Awsome rub for Pork ribs, but would it work for brisket?

[meltyface]

I used Head Country original seasoning the other day as a dry rub for a few racks of ribs, and I have to say those were the best tasting ribs I've had so far

. I have two questions for ya'll however:

1. Does anyone know if this rub would be good on brisket?
2. Does anyone know how to make this stuff, so that I can save a few bucks, or something equally as good or better?

Thanks.

This is an awsome brand, I use their bbq sauce fairly often, but just recently found the seasoning at the store....it is REALLY good on pork ribs. I'm really tempted to try it on a brisket, but scared at the same time, 'cause I don't want to mess up my meat

I'm not familiar with the brand, myself.

I doubt you could really mess up the meat with seasoning, unless it is some radically wild un-tested blend of exotics.

If you liked it on pork ribs, just give it a shot and see how it goes.

If you're concerned about the salt content being too high for the beef, just leave a bit of the fat cap on so it doesn't dry out as easily.

I use extra salt for heavily marbled beef with good success...seems to help breakdown the fat during the smoke, so that end should be fine.

Lots of comp folk use head country.I thought they made a beef rub,but i make my own anywho.Fine rub that head country.....

Salt,pepper.garlic powder maybe some cayene is a basic brisket rub....

I don't see why it wouldn't work on a brisket, I would give it a try, ought to be perfectly fine.

and I add to that some paprika and onion powder, sometimes chili powder.

I cann't see any reason why that rub won't work on brisket. After all a rub is a rub. I use my favorite rub on alot of things from ribs, brisket and even fish.

Guess I'll have to give it a try when I cook my next brisket.

Fourluv..I never thought about using chili powder as an ingredient, that's a good idea.

That's for all the input.
