We are stepping out and looking to use commercial products for our next contest. Is anyone willing to share what combinations of these different products they are using (Eg: Fab B + Bovine Bold = Brisket)?
 
Kosmos Q beef injection w/ a combination of The Rub Co. Santa Maria Style and Original. Kosmos enhances the juiciness and beefy flavor of the brisket while those rubs are more on the savory side with flavor profiles that work very well with beef. Worth a walk just about every time.:becky:
 
A few suggestions

I am a big Dizzypig rubs fan. FOr brisket, Dizzypig Cowlick rub and Head Country bbq sauce. For chicken, Tsunamis spin and Blueshog. For pork, Dizzy Dust, and for ribs, heck take your choice, I like raging river.

cutting right to the chase there are ya?

for pork i used Kosmos injection. took 5th and 2nd and 20 something. i used SOW injection. i took 4th.

thats about the most help i can be cuz it's my only consistent category.

watch, now i'll tank it next comp.
 
Boogie, there is a lot of "beating around the smoker" that goes on around these parts. I thought WTH, I'll just ask!
 
not these parts my friend.

i, as others here, offered their best.

use it as you see fit.

pm sent brother.
 
How about Chicken JD - tell me what do you use on your chicken :becky:

Kosmos beef injection + Dixiedust + course ground pepper on Brisket.
Kosmos pork injection + The Slabs Kyle Style rub on Pork
.... Both are good combinations that I've seen do well in the past.
 
Kroger apple juice, Flavorite sugar, Morton salt, Lea Perrins worcestershire sauce.:thumb:........and yes I had to get the bottle out of the fridge to spell that.:rolleyes:
 
for brisket i'm liking butchers w/ prime dust and homebbq beef. for pork SOW and a modified patio dadio rub. for ribs home bbq. for chicken oakridge secret weapon marinated in a white sauce.

Marinated in white sauce - nice touch - what effect does that have on the skin? Curious, I've never tried it.. I can imagine the mayo base helping crisp the skin up for home chicken, but what does it do for comp chicken?
 
it ruins the skin.

the meat is marinaded skin removed.

it adds a richness to the meat while tenderizing slightly.
 
Dang, all i have is Marsh apple juice... no wonder

Hey SeriousQue, we happen to sponsor 22 teams on the circuit. They mostly compete in KCBS events, but we do have a few teams who also compete in FBA, NCBS and SCBA sanctioned events. Over the past 10 months of contests, 17 of these teams have managed to amass a current total of 140 Top Ten awards, and that number continues to grow each weekend. Of these awards, 4 are GC's and 3 are RGC's...

To view our team results, click here.

So, while I can't tell you what each team uses specifically, I can tell you generally what is working for them...

Injections:
Our teams do very well with Kosmo's, Butcher's and FAB, along with a few who make up their own secret concoctions.

Brines:
A few use a brine on their chicken, but most do not.

Chicken Rub:
  • Secret Weapon
  • Game Bird & Chicken

Rib Rub:
  • Competition Beef & Pork
  • Secret Weapon
  • Game Bird & Chicken

Pork Rub:
  • Secret Weapon
  • Competition Beef & Pork
  • Game Bird & Chicken

Brisket Rub:
  • Competition Beef & Pork
  • Santa Maria

Hope this helps, and holler with any questions. :thumb:
 
I just ordered some Kosmo's from ya a couple weeks back. Looking forward to trying it.
