Virgo, once you try them, you'll be singing their praises too. They're great!

Yes, they are excellent.

I can't stop easting the rub straight

I just made a double batch of each.... looking forward to this evening....

You will NOT be disappointed.

Makes for magical ribs!

Ribs, turkey, meatloaf, chicken, Frosted Flakes (ok not really), but you get my drift! Great rub that goes with anything!

I haven't ordered yet, but probably will soon. Is this a recipe that lets you make as much as you want as often as you want to, or does it come pre-made?

One other question. Approximately how many ingredients are in these? I'm in a really small town and I'm not sure my local groceries will have a lot to choose from. Thanks.

You know, I take 1/2 cp of balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup of Olive Oil, and two heaping tbsp's of Jeff's magic rub and stick that in an old salad dressing bottle of your choice, shake real hard and voila' (that's pronounced wah-la!) the best dang salad dressing you've ever had.

You won't regret the purchase, Virg.

By the way, you can store any leftovers in a ziploc bag and stuffed in the freezer. I've used it after 2 months and it's just as delicious.

 

[jbg4208]

It is not premade and can make all you want. Trust me you will make lots.
Most of the stuff you will have already if not all.

 

[johnnie2130]

I doubt I'll have a lot of it because I haven't smoked before, but I'm going to find out. Thanks.

 

[ajthepoolman]

The pepper he has you use is about the most exotic ingredient listed.

 

[johnnie2130]

What do you mean by 'exotic'?

 

[johnnie2130]

Do you still cover the meat in mustard when using Jeff's rub?

 

[ba_loko]

Yes. The mustard acts as a bonding agent only.

As far as "exotic". I won't try to put words in AJ's mouth, but I think what he was trying to imply was that the spices in Jeff's rub are every day spices that you're most likely going to already have in your pantry. You'll be amazed at its simplicity, Johnnie.

 

[johnnie2130]

I just bought the recipes. They look really good and easy to make. I can't wait to try them.

As far as the mustard thing goes, I've tried it both ways and now I don't use mustard at all. I couldn't tell any difference in taste and I never have a problem getting the rub to bond to the meat or getting a good bark. Maybe I do things a bit different than most so I'll explain my process.

After unwrapping the pork butt I rinse it well under cold water, then I take a few good quality paper towels and pat the butt down well all around to dry the butt as possible. The rub bonds to the meat much better after drying off with a paper towel. The only other thing I do different is for the rub itself I use turbinado sugar in place of the brown sugar. It doesn't clump up as much and mixes better with the other ingredients. I'd be curious to hear the results if some of you that are currently using mustard try this method.

I used quite a bit of both last night.... everyone was ramblin' on about the sauce... i set a plate out and put a pile on it... everything there got dipped in it one time or another... i made a pretty big batch... we used almost a quart of it last night....

I used the rub on some Baby backs that turned out great.... no mustard... i did what the directions said.... covered the meat with it until it looked wet... rubbed it in.... put in smoker...

 

[ron50]

I usually don't use the mustard. I actually get the rub to stick better with no rub, go figure.

That being said I just put in 3 butts and one of them I used mustard on.

LOL

The posts about Jeff's rib rub recipe have motivated me to buy them myself! Thanks to all of the assistance offered on the subject, I'm stoked to smoke (ribs, that is).
