Need Help - Billbo's Dry Rub

[oklahomajoe]

Ok, I made Billbos dry rub, the only thing I changed was I used celery salt instead of Kosher salt.
By using all those powders, when I taste the rub its not that appealing to taste. My question is "Is the rub appealing to taste before being cooked or only after cooked into the meat?
Take no offense Billbo, because I mightve messed your recipe up with the celery salt.
I just dont want to mess up a good brisket because I didnt do the recipe right.
Thanks
Okey Joe

Just so I understand did you just use Celery Salt in the place of the Kosher salt? Did the original recipe call for celery salt? I'm not sure how much celery salt you used but you may have thrown off the rub if you put a pretty good amount of celery salt. But then again I am not a big celery salt fan.

How much celery salt did you sub for Kosher?
Not really the kind of thing you would sub one for the other and have even close to the right flavor.
Generally when a recipe calls for celery salt it is a teaspoon or two for an entire recipe so that could be what it was, dunno.

bilbos rub is excellent right out of the shaker container i put it in im betting the celery salt is throwing it way off

I just mixed up a fresh batch and found it to be quite tasty and appealing to smell and sight...

I can't wait to try it!!!!

I went BY THE BOOK so I'd have to agree it might have been the celery salt...

not all salts are created equal either. i remember reading a salt equivalent chart here some time ago, but i couldnt find it. so even substituting table for kosher or kosher for sea salt will change the out come of your rub and recipes

Sounds like it was the celery salt. I put the same amount of it as is called for of the Kosher. This might be a dumb question, but ive never followed a recipe to the t. I think I messed up here to. Granulated garlic and granulated onion must not be the same as garlic powder or onion powder. Is it? I used the powders. When I tasted it, it gave me the cotton mouth. Real dry.

I don't think there is that big of a difference in garlic or onion powder to their granular counterparts. But using celery salt in place of the kosher salt in that recipe is whats throwing off the taste. Celery salt is pretty strong tasting stuff.

I have BOTH in powder and granulated... YES, I believe there is a big difference. Everytime I used too much Onion Powder, I get that same 'cotton mouth' you are talking about...

I used my granulated in my newly made Bilbo's and the taste was very pleasing!!

Thanks Eaglewing,
Back to the drawing board tomorrow.
Gonna get it right.

When I did my thanksgiving turkey. I tasted the brine and the rub that I used and neither was really appealing to taste. But I fugured this gang knew what they were talking about so I rocked on.
It was the absolute best turkey I ever had.
