Salting/dry brining a brisket ???

[canuck76]

So Im due to smoke another brisket this weekend, so far Ive had OK luck with brisket and wondered if anyone has experience dry brining a brisket? Ive done several roasts that turned out spectacular but not real familiar with brisket. 

Im assuming if I dry brine it, it could alter my cook time, as it may break down quicker.

Just tossing it out there!!!

Never tried it, but would like to hear how it would come out.

Keep us informed.

Dry Brining and Brining in general has a much greater effect on flavor and moisture retention of the meat proteins than it does on breaking Connective Tissue. Additionally, Dry Brining only has an impact on a few millimeters of the surface as opposed to a hunk of Brisket soaking for a week or more in a Wet Brine. There will be little change in cook time to tenderness, if any...JJ
