Step #1 Make the rub by placing the salt, pepper, brown sugar, chili powder, onion powder, paprika, & oregano in a small bowl & stir this to mix.
Step #2 If your brisket has a thick layer of fat, trim it to a thickness of 1/4-inch.
Step #3 Place the brisket in a roasting pan & generously sprinkle both sides with the rub, using about 3 tbsps per side & patting it into the meat with your fingertips.
Step #4 The leftover rub can be stored for several months in a jar.
Step #5 You can cook the brisket right away, but it will taste better if you let it cure in the refrigerator covered for at least 4 to 24 hrs.
Step #6 When ready to cook, place the brisket in the center of the hot grate, fat side up, over the drip pan & away from the heat.
Step #7 Drape the bacon slices over the top of the meat, & then cover the grill.
Step #8 Cook the brisket until very tender, 5 to 6 hrs or until the internal temperature reaches about 190 degrees F.
Step #9 Generously mop or baste the meat on both sides with the mop sauce.
Step #10 Wrap the brisket in aluminum foil wrap, & continue cooking until done.
Step #11 Transfer the grilled brisket to a cutting board & let rest for 10 mins.
Step #12 Thinly slice across the grain, using an electric knife or sharp carving knife.
