Let me make this as painfully obvious as I can...NEVER BOIL MEAT UNLESS MAKING SOUP!!!!! You might as well spit on the Virgin Mary! This is blasphemy!!! The best "Store Bought" BBQ Rub is Adkinson's (very hard to find, but Winn Dixie stocks it). It is Brown Sugar based and should be rubbed 8- 10 hours before smoking the meat. The meat should be smoked 10-12 hours (for a 10-15 lb Brisket) with indirect heat and added moisture (steam pan) for perfect mouth watering Texas BBQ.
