Thoroughly combine all ingredients, ensuring an even distribution of each spice. Use a whisk or your fingers to break up any clumps and achieve a homogenous blend. (Mix time: ~3 minutes)

For a deeper smoky flavor, consider using mesquite-smoked paprika.
Adjust the cayenne pepper to suit your preferred level of heat.
Store any leftover rub in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
For optimal flavor penetration, generously apply the rub to the brisket at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, before smoking.
