Smoked Prime Brisket with Texas Beef BBQ Rub
There is something almost ceremonial about smoking a brisket, especially when it is Prime Grade. A whole packer brisket trimmed from 16 pounds down to its working weight feels like you are about to take on a rite of passage. This cut is where Texas barbecue truly finds its identity, with oak smoke carrying across the fat and the grain of the meat, leaving behind a deep flavor and a bark that tells its own story.
Oak has long been the wood of choice for brisket across Central Texas, prized for its steady burn and balanced smoke that never overshadows the beef. Paired with Revolution Barbecue Texas Beef BBQ Rub, the bark becomes peppery, savory, and bold while still allowing the richness of Prime beef to shine through. It is not just the smoke or the seasoning that makes this brisket special, but the patience of a long cook, the decision to wrap when the fat softens, and the final rest that brings everything together. This brisket is a celebration of time, tradition, and trust in the process.
