Making Eleven Pounds of Rub Today.

[PitPirate]

The Hippy Biker dewd had asked me to make him a ton of my standard Rub for him to give away in smaller amounts to his employees. I agreed and promised to not hold anything/secret back and to make him what I actually use. I have no secrets because BBQ is more then Rubs, Mops and Sauces. It's the BBQ'r. His keen eye for time and temp are along with good meat make great BBQ.

Here is exactly what I am making which is Eight [8] times the normal amount I make. The cost of the spices alone are about $23.

Pit Pirate's BULK General Rub
6 Cups [54 oz] Paprika
16 TBS [10oz] Chilli Powder
2 Cups [18oz] Black Pepper
16 TBS [10oz] Garlic Powder
2 Cups [32oz] Kosher Salt
16 TBS [10oz] Onion Powder
2 Cups [32oz] Sugar
8 TBS [10oz] Cayanne

Like I said that will do between 8-10 nice sized Pork Butts.

So put it in little 4oz bags or bottles and charge him $5 a pop like Butt Rub, BBQ Fools, etc. I figure that would gross you about $220!

Or at least get him to spring for the bulk ingredients! :D

Only amateurs give away their food! :twisted:

Don't forget your liablity insurance in case little Billy boy or sweet Sussie burns their little lips and you get a visit from Uncle I.B. Asueing Lawyer! :shock:

Mike, thanks for putting your recipe up. I've been wanting to try something a little different. Think I'll give your recipe a try on my shoulder this weekend. Heavy on paprika, bet that stuff yields a nice color on pork.

You can substitute Splenda for sugar if your doing the low carb thing. Splenda cooks up just fine because it is made from sugar.

[Mike(Mi)]

Neil, No Splenda in the Rub!! There are some things that are just wrong.


Actually I was wondering if Mike used regular or Turbinado sugar??

Regular sugar so far. Is there something I need to know?

Thanks

I've heard of the turbinado sugar but haven't found it anywhere. What's so special about it?

That's about what my rub is except I use about 2/3 that much paprika and a splash of oregano, nutmeg and cinnamon. The cinnamon and nutmeg is a must on ribs

HickoryNut....Would you mind sharing your rub receipe?

Turbinado sugar is raw sugar, less chemicals and less refined, really good stuff. You'll most often find it under the name "Sugar in the Raw" I use it almost exclusively now, great stuff!! Looking forward to your recipe (hint! hint!)

[PitPirate]

I could go with Raw sugar.

Sounds more pure and I like simple and pure minimal cooking

Thanks
mike

[Mike(Mi)]

Turbinado is unprocessed or less-processed brown sugar. I've heard it's supposed to mix well in rubs and not as likely to burn as processed sugar. Don't know if it's all true or not but I've used it, it works, and I got a ton of it I need to use up. :wink:

Edited: Yah! What Jackson'sdad said.

[HickoryNut]

Geez, next you'll be wanting to play with my wife's titties

I will tell you a rub ingredient I've been playing with... Tang, don't want to get scurvy. Seriously, it adds a unique taste I like.

"Sugar in the Raw"



The only way I find the stuff around here is in boxes of the little packets you get in a resturant. It takes a boat load of those little farkers to make a batch of rub. I'm sticking with brown sugar until I can find turbinado in a bulk form.


The cinnamon and nutmeg is a must on ribs

Amen Brother! Not too much, but my rub ain't right without 'em.

How much do you use?

[kcquer]

In my std batch of rub that makes 1 1/4cup, I use 1/2tsp of each, usually a bit lighter on the nutmeg. For my tastes, if I use enough to tell its there, I've used too much. If you put in just enough that you don't notice unless you forget it, that's just right.

[Bigdog]

Thanks bro.

That's funny

[kcquer]

B-dog, anytime. Just go easy at first, both spices are quite potent and can be overpowering if you get carried away (voice of experience mod) .

Mike, mixed up a small batch of your rub last night and rubbed that picnic up with a nice thick layer of it. I did personalize it a bit, I like a little more sugar and I have to use a bit less of the hot ingredients (domestic tranquility mod) but stuck with the recipe as much as I thought I could get away with. Nice spicy rub Bro, smells great, looks great, I can't wait to taste it on some pig. Had some left over so I mixed it with a like quantity of my recipe and rubbed up a 12.5# brisket with the combo. I'll let you know how they come out.

You can get the Turbinado in a one-pound box at the Walmart Super Centers in KC if you're ever up this way.

Looks like about 14 or more cups of rub. And it will only cover 8-10 butts?

[Solidkick]

Nice thread guys! Next batch of rub is coming from these ideas!

I'm only 20 mins south of Grandview so I'll give that a try, we have a Super Center here in Harrisonville and all they carry is the boxes with the little packets in it.

[HickoryNut]

This is a easy rib rub I developed for my kid's taste but I like it too:

8 packets of instant apple cider mix
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon black pepper

[chad]

Turbinado sugar is getting more widely available. We've had it around here for a long time but then just south of here is sugar country :D

There is the "true" turbinado sugar from Hawaii but I've been using Dixie Crystal and other brands and can't tell the difference. I also get the Sugar in the Raw bulk packs occassionally.

If someone just can't find it and really needs it I'll be happy to ship some but that could get $$$.

[markbet]

How about the grown up receipe, the one with nutmeg and cinnamon added. The ribs are waiting... :?

Kinda like the flavors of a brine!! Interesting.

[BigBelly]

I use an adapted version of the B.R.I.T.U. (Best Ribs in The Universe)recipe. The original recipe was far to salty so I reduced the 1 to 1 salt to sugar ratio to a 1 to 4 (Salt to Sugar). I dry out my Dark Brown Sugar by laying it out on a sheet pan then break up the clumps by hand before I mix in the other ingredients when it is fully dried out.
