Showerthought: I dropped $80 on a 'premium' brisket rub that was basically salt and pepper.

Saw it at a competition in Austin, bought two jars thinking it was some secret blend. Opened it up and the ingredient list was literally just coarse salt and cracked black pepper. Anyone know a good rub recipe that's actually worth the hype?

Honestly, that "secret blend" is often just salt and pepper because that's all a great brisket really needs.

Ever tried a little garlic powder in there too? It can really help the bark form without changing the basic flavor.
