Rinse brisket thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together House Seasoning, chili powder, brown sugar, onion powder, oregano and cayenne. Rub brisket with the rub on all sides.
Follow directions on your grill/smoker for indirect grilling. Place the soaked chips into the chip box, or make a pouch with tin foil for the chips, then place pouch directly on the coals. Place brisket fat side up in a large disposable aluminum pan and place in the center of the grate and cover the grill.
Slow grill the brisket until tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the meat reads about 190 degrees F, about 6 hours. Add coals and wood chips as necessary to maintain a constant temperature. Transfer the brisket to a cutting board to rest for about 10 minutes. Slice the brisket across the grain and serve.
House Seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
Yield: 1 1/2 cups

I have made this brisket several times, and it never fails to please. Flavor is incredible. My son says it is the best brisket he has ever had, anywhere. I just made one for Thanksgiving and we blew through it. I was shocked to look in the frig this morning and discover that I don't even have enough left for leftovers tonight! Oh well, defrosting the other 1/2 now!!

Like the previous review of Steve's, we use a medium Weber and hickory chunks ( our wood preference, we do the Grand Slam about 4 times a year. Brisket, Eckridge Sausage, baby back rib slabs, and chicken. It is an all day project, but the results are well worth it. Never had a rub I cared for until this one. Thank you, PD.
