Rub???

[mikey]

While I've played a bit with my own(no salt or sugar), I still prefer Zatarains Creole Seasoning. It's got just the right amount of "bite" for my taste buds. Give it a try.

Let's see how many will disagree with me

When I started playing with rubs, I gathered the flavors I liked best-i.e., garlic,onion,NM chile,oregano,cumin,etc. and mixed them in different mixes to find the one I liked. Then I tweeked it to what I use now. You can go with a sweet rub, savory,dry(nothing on the meat except the rub) ,wet(with most anything) or just use your imagination.

However some go to a supermarket and get a pre-made commercial rub like Emeril's or from one of the site on the net. Plenty of sources out there. I just happen to like mine. That's just me though

Play a bit, you may come up with a really great rub. Here's an idea...
ground Juniper Berries

It'll give you a real campout taste, and it's rather good too

Have fun and
HAPPY SMOKES

I generally don't share my recipes, but I don't mind in this case.

This is my rub that I use for everything:

Big Bald BBQ Rub:

1 cup white sugar
½ cup paprika
2 Tbls black pepper
2 Tbls lemon pepper
2 Tbls salt
2 Tbls chili powder
2 Tbls garlic powder
2 Tbls onion powder
2 Tbls cayenne pepper

Mix it up and enjoy. I put it on everything I smoke. I was trying to come up with a specific rub for brisket, but why mess with what works. One note sometimes the paprika clumps a bit, just be sure to mix it really will.

Well thanks. I think it is the best one I have developed.
