Great Rib Rub!

[MikeyZO]

I found this dry rub for meats, tried it on a rack of ribs, slow cooked them on the charcoal grill using an indirect method of heating (coals to the sides, meat in the middle) and the finished product was AWESOME! Figured I would share it with the family.

2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup paprika
1/4 cup seasoned salt
1/4 cup smoked salt (which I couldnt find so I used a smoked pepper mix)
1/4 cup onion salt
1/4 cup celery salt
2 TBSP fresh ground black pepper
2 TBSP pure chili powder (not a blend)
2 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Combine all the ingrediants in a bowl and stir or whisk to mix. If you put it in a container and keep it away from heat, light, and moisture it should last a few months at least. Use a good amount when rubbing on the meat (dont just sprinkle it on). I know it sounds like its gonna be spicey, but its really not. Enjoy!!

It sounds good. Did you try it with any other meats?

mmmmmm!

I havent tried it with other meat yet, but from the taste I suspect it would be good on other types of pork (loins, ribs, chops, etc), chicken and perhaps london broil. I wouldnt use it on steak.

I was think more like a brisket.:chefico:

that sounds pretty good, I think i'll try it sometime. You think I should try using wood chips to smoke the meat too? and which wood do you think would work best?

 

[crox99]

hickory chips

 

[ssmtcarlo]

any fruit wood is best for smoking, also make sure its green wood. meaning not dried out.

Yes, I used hickory chips also. Just make sure you let the coals cool a bit, if you put the wood on really hot coals, they just burn right up, even after being soaked for an hour. I learned that when I first started charcoal grilling. The smoke definately adds a nice flavour.

Oh and crox, a brisket does sound damn good. I think I will try that next!! Good thinking!
