Doing my first brisket today and am not really sure what it should look like before I throw it in the smoker.

I don’t season mine too much and just use kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper and a little garlic powder. That being said, I would probably do a little more.

More for sure. A good solid coating. It’s hard to overdo rub on brisket.

No, add more…

You can cover it with a layer thick enough to stick but thin enough that if you pick it up it doesn’t all fall off.
Imagine a bed of seasoning, like breading stuff to fry, where you’d lay it down on the seasoning and flip it over to do the same thing.
Don’t be afraid. That is a big chunk of meat, it can handle it

Bro, put mustard on it and season tf out of that thing!! Here’s one of mine, I also injected it with the tallow from my previous brisket. Worcestershire sauce, Mustard, coarse pepper, salt, and some garlic. I also have brisket seasoning I use if I cook more than two at a time.
I usually add a a healthy layer of seasoning, not so much where you can’t see the meat but close

Opaque is what you’re looking for. As in you can barely see the meat under the seasoning.

I do at least a oz per pound. Every 8 pounds = 1 cup. You basically want it coated until it no longer sticks

I’m not an expert but aren’t you supposed to trim that fat?

Needs some rosemary or Herb de Provence.

Looks good on the second pic, you are probably going to be your worst critic. You may not even like it, I’m that way. But everyone else really likes how mine turn out. Since you probably won’t be satisfied, let me when it’s done I’ll swing by and pick it up. Haha 🤣

One of the best ways to add pepper is to use a power drill with a pepper mill. Highly recommend for a lot of bark

I would add more and inject it with some too

I’m going to be the lone vote for maybe. Might need more salt, but after a long cook most of the flavoring oils in the spices are long gone. I just salt and cook. Never had a complaint yet.

Thanks y’all, I’ll add more.

If you ain’t sneezin’, you didn’t season.
Nope
Not remotely enough
Lots more
