Foil Hat Rub
Apparently, I am never going to find the correct combination of time and money to make up all the batches of rub I need to. I am taking this to mean I shouldn't try getting in the rub selling business.:doh:
Therefore, I have decided to share this recipe with everyone. I have wanted to share it for a long time but felt maybe I could use it to make some spare change. I have learned that some things are more important than trying to get this thing going.:becky: This is the culmination of all of my experiences, from all of ingredient experiments (just do a search for threads I started with the word "experiment" in the title), and from sampling (truly) hundreds of rubs, and doing side by side comparison cooks over the last 7 years. This is truly my favorite rub, but I could of course be biased. There is one other rub that me and my family also like a lot, but it is not commercially available and sent to me in a Brethren trade by Vosholl Vulture. If you ever get the chance to try his rub I would recommend giving it a shot. Commercially, I have tons of replies in threads asking what everyone's favorite rubs are, and I have never lied, those are my favorites, and I am proud to say that of the top 10 of my favorites, and of the ones I keep a regular supply on had, all of them are Brethren products with the exception of Smokin' Guns. My Brethren fav's are Plowboy's, Simply Marvelous, 3Eyez, Butcher's BBQ Honey, and Smokin Okie's Rooster Booster. If you have not tried any of these products, you should.:thumb: This recipe is simply listed in "parts". The size I have always used for personal use and when sending to others is 1 part equals 1 tablespoon. This makes enough to fill a typical shaker bottle and even have some extra. A double batch will fill one of the big, tall containers. 12 Hungarian Sweet Paprika (Szeged) 6 White Cane Sugar 6 Brown Cane Sugar 6 Kosher Salt (Morton's) 6 Herbamare 2 Granulated Garlic (Tones) 2 Onion Powder (Tones) 2 Chili Powder (Williams) 1 Lemon Pepper (Tones) 1 X-Hot Barker New Mexico Chile Powder (Da Gift Basket) 1 Dulse graunules (fine particles) About the oddball ingredients that maybe you are unfamiliar with...Herbamare and Dulse granules. I find both locally at Whole Foods (or Whole Wallet depending on your perspective), but can find better deals online but have never pulled the trigger on that. Here is where I have found the best online deal for Herbamare: http://www.vitaglo.com/av412131.html Also, I order my chile powders (all sorts) from Da Gift Basket... http://www.dagiftbasket.com/index.php?cPath=164_165 One VERY important thing...The Dulse Granules are not the same as Dulse Flakes. Dulse Flakes are a larger size (think fish food flake size). Dulse granules are much smaller, more like the size of the particles in your other rub ingredients. It is important to get the smaller granules. If you use the flakes (like Gore did) then the flakes will linger on your tongue giving an aftertaste that Gore and his family refer to as "fuzzy". I would agree with that. My using the smaller flakes, they blend in with the rub and impart the correct umami flavor it is intended to give, without any fuzzy aftertaste. So if you are looking for online deals, MAKE SURE it is GRANULES not FLAKES. |
How cool is this. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe with us! Cannot wait to try it.
|
I'll start gathering the ingredients and give it a try. Thanks for posting.
PS-My wife won't let me wear my foil cap anyone unless the aliens return for me. :shock: |
Sound like it would be a good rib rub

How much MSG should I add?
. |
Vitacost shows a dulse powder. Would that be the same as the granules?
I was ordering the herbamare from them and if it will save on shipping. |
:icon_bugeyed:jaw: Wow! Thanks Chris!! :whoo:
|
Thanks for putting that up - how cool! :clap2:
Is this part of the man pig superthingee's mission to spread good eats? |

Here is the exact product I have been using...unfortunately it comes in a small container. Fortunately, the recipe only calls for 1 tablespoon of it, so this one bottle can make quite a bit of rub.:thumb: http://www.foodservicedirect.com/pro.../NF987107S.jpg |

Thanks Chris, I posted some Chicken Pron I cooked up awhile back with your rub. Guess almost everyone missed it :rolleyes: and the obscure message within.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a good rub. If I use fish flakes will it cut down on the cancer causing carcinogens?

thanks a bunch bigabyte

Thank you for posting your rub recipe. I'm going to give it a shot this weekend. As someone new to bbq, I really appreciate all the help I can get. I checked out Midnight Smoke's thread and it didn't look like he used any sauce on his chicken. Do you recommend this rub on chicken without a sauce?
|
Thanks Chris. Do I have to wear a Tin Foil Hat while I mix this up? Does it affect the flavor if I don't?

You should always wear your hat.:roll: I find the flavor is best when stored in a shaker wrapped with duct tape and hand written in sharpie "FOIL HAT RUB". It works for some reason. |

This is a really great thing Chris is doing. He is trading a fortune in cash for a place in the BBQ Hall of Fame. |

I bet this rub is so good it would be actually good ON a vulture.
I need to make this up so I can sue it. |

The rub does sound good. I'm going to start gathering ingredients to give it a try. Thanks, Chris! |
This sounds great and I love the use of the dulse, an ingredient that I had plans for, but, now can just steal your recipe. Landarc's Overland Fark Foil Hat Rub, all I need is a co-packer.
|
This is so farkin awesome Chris!
THANKS!!! I'm gonna make a KILLIN packaging and selling this stuff!!:tape::heh: Just kidding, (duh).....seriously thanks. A lot of us have been wondering. |
Unbelievable! Thank you very much.
|
Chris, I want to thank you for the rub recipe! This is beyond cool and really appreciated!
|
Thank you very much! I have always wanted to try the infamous foil hat rub.
You sir, are a prince among foil hat wearing men! |
^^^Ban bigabyte for sharing trade secrets^^^ Whoops wrong thread! Thanks Chris I can wait to get home and order all of the stuff and start putting it all together.
|
Many thanks for sharing. Your experience & experimentation is invaluable.
|
I have everything on order and i have to admit, there are ingredients that i have never heard of much less tried in some of my rubs. This should be interesting with my wife. I can hear her now" what in the world is that stuff for ?"
Thanks again for the recipe. :thumb::thumb: |

This is quite possibly the coolest post I've read today!
|
dang I have seen the infamous foil hat rub discussed here before. I never thought it would be given to us! Thanks!!!

I had never heard of Herbamare, so I did a quick google. SOunds like a pretty cool way to get additional flavor.
Looking for an alternative to normal table salt? Herbamare is a flavorful blend of sea salt and 14 organic herbs that goes great in place of regular salt on foods! The herbs are infused into the sea salt, so unlike other seasoning salts this is not a blend of dry herbs - the flavor is inside the sea salt crystals! A little goes a long way, so you'll need to use less than you would for table salt on your foods and it's Gluten Free. Each 4.4 oz. container is $6.49. Ingredients: Sea Salt, organic celery leaves, organic leek, organic cress (water and garden), organic onion, organic chive, organic parsley, organic lovage, organic garlic, organic basil, organic marjoram, organic rosemary, organic thyme, Kelp (with trace iodine) |

I picture a bunch of hippie ladies plucking fresh herbs from a compost ed garden, working in peasant dresss and barefeet.

Herbamare sounds like toking with a horse, is this wise?
|
Wow Chris, that's a big thing to share to anyone and to share that here with all the brothers and sisters is pretty awsome. I will work on that recipe this weekend and am excited about how good it will be. Thanks bro!
