I have been meaning to jump in here for awhile so here goes. I went down to Austin to spend New Years with my son. We made all the rounds to the BBQ joints and music night life.
Smittys was one of the stops, as well as Blacks, Kreutz, Salt lick and The sausage stores in Elgin. I got to have a good conversation with John at Smittys. His mother owns the place. He gets quite a kick out of selling us tourists a zip lock bag of his "Secret Rub" for a dollar when it has about 3 cents worth of stuff in it. Being a tourist, I bought one. The first one is the bag as it comes.
Then a close up showing the grains, the penny was not included, its just there for size comparison.
The rub seems to be mostly salt, a little coarse black pepper, granulated garlic and a very small amount of cayenne pepper. I shook the paper plate to separate the grains and the cayenne was so small it went to the bottom and is hard to see.
A little different proportions that what Donny had in his post with the Dirty Dalmatian rub.I believe he was 50-50 salt and pepper.
