Just got my first smoker

I will say there are some random ingredients in rubs that I think would be cool to have (powdered honey and vinegar, for example), but I bet I could buy them off Amazon if wanted (just looked it up and yes, they're available).

That's how I did my first three briskets (spg) but I did think the Killer Hogs added something, although I still used my own Salt and garlic as well.  I also added a thin layer of Weber smoking rub that I happened to find in my spice cabinet.  No idea where it came from or how long I had it, but I tried it on hamburgers once and liked it.  Not sure it added anything to the brisket but I thought what the hell.  

Again I can see me doing the same things as when I started smoking cigars. Eventually you realize most everything is hype and you just back it down. I imagine I will in time become mainly an SPG guy.
