Just remember, when curing your own meats follow the instructions included with the cure to the letter, this is not something to experiment with.  


Never use more cure no mater if it is Tender Quick or Cure #1 or Cure #2 than the manufacturer says to use, this can be very dangerous.
 

Tender Quick and Cure#1 or Cure #2 are not interchangeable, neither Cure #1 interchangeable with Cure #2 or vise versa

Welcome to the forums Cam, I don't make my own rub but I would be interested in what you  have created.

 

[dacamstaa]

well mine are pretty basic, salt, seasoning salt, sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, chili powder, dry mustard, onion and garlic salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, pepper, and tons of brown sugar for carmelization. thats about it, i have no idea what the ratios are i just eyeball it and taste it

Welcome to the SMF. Glad to have you here. Lots of good folks, great recipes and knowledge. Looking forward to  your first qview.

I'm no wizard but your rub sounds pretty good except for the two kinds of paprika. I bet it all comes together very nicely.

 

[dacamstaa]

its not bad..... its more smoked paprika than anything. its just got a sweeter smokier flavor to it that gives meat a more intense flavor. i forgot to add i sometimes throw in some coffee grinds in there

 

[cliffcarter]

Why so many kinds of salt?

 

[dacamstaa]

tastes good!

Jeff's rub is a good start. It's my go to rub.

Hi Cam,

I pretty much use Jeff's rub, then add to it or subtract according to taste or if I want to kick it up a notch or two.  I also use purchased rubs, but not very often. Since moving to the islands I found a small spice shop that carries some interesting rubs, including one called Java Booty Rub which also uses coffee.  I tend to change up the rubs a bit depending on what I'm smoking.  For chicken or turkey I mix some McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Chicken seasoning with a rub and love that combo.

I've also use Bad Byron's Butt Rubb - on brisket mostly tweaked with a bit more black pepper...but still prefer Jeff's recipe for ribs and butts.

Welcome to the forum!!!  Can't wait to see what you can share with Qview!  Post up where you're from...maybe there are others on here that are in your area and can share ideas, rubs, woods, etc.

John

Welcome to the club. When I'm lost for a good rub I  use the search tool here to look up a dish I want to make and see what others here have used in their rub and try to duplicate it. Everythings been a hit so far.
