I covered my smoker and I went away for a couple months, but I'm back for another try. I smoked a few items and all of them were terrible! I did ribs and you would think you were chewing on a salt lick and I followed someones recipe for the rub here. I smoked a shoulder and my thermometer was off and it got dry. I purchased Willies snack stix mix from PS Seasonings and followed the directions to the tee and they were like gnawing on cactus they were so dry and the collegen cases were slipping off.. Threw out 40# plus of meat.
I got REAL discouraged!
But, I'm going to give it another go. I may have to break down and purchase Jeff's rub recipe. Unfortunately, Social Insecurity doesn't pay too much so it might be a bit before I can do that. I'm just having a heck of a time finding a rub we like. (My wife is real picky)..
What rubs have you folks used that are posted freely here that work? I'm not asking for your secret recipe, but just something that isn't too sweet with brown sugar or too salty..
