New smoker newbie

[tacouser]

Purchased a new smoker and now trying different meats and recipes I have tried a couple different rubs and have noticed there is way to much salt in the ones I have bought. What rubs do you use that are lower in salt?.

Mrs Dash seasonings have no salt at all

This is one of the reasons I make my own rubs. There are countless rub recipes online. When I make them the first time I cut salt in half and then dial it in from there.

Salt has it purpose for smoking meat. I generally salt mine first with the amount of salt I'm comfortable with, let it set 20 - 30 min the salt seems to liquefy. I then use any rub recipe you find just leave out the salt. Can't say if this proper but it seems to work for me

Are you using store bought rubs or making your own? If concocting your own from a recipe then I agree with jcam222 , cut the salt amount in half for the first go, then adjust for the next time. Whether it's Dr.'s order or just being more sensitive to salt in general, it's a good approach to follow. Obviously how much rub is applied is part of the equation :D
