Okay, still having camera problems...but couldn't help but post this review. Big Brother Smoke included a sample of his top-secret spicy apple rub with an order last month. I finally got around to using it other than eating it straight out of the bag (yeah, it's good that way, too).
I picked up half of a fresh turkey breast. Brined it in a simple brine of sea salt, water, a.j. and brown sugar. Rubbed it with Simply Marvelous Spicy Apple and smoked in the BGE with nothing but lump until it reached internal 165ish.
Let set for 1/2 hour and sliced and tasted. Then I got angry. I was cooking that for lunch today. I was mad because I could have eaten the entire then right then and there. It was the best turkey I have ever had - not only that I have ever made myself - but ever had. If you've seen me, you know, I've had a LOT of food to compare it to.
This has just the right amount of heat - it's there, but not over-powering. The sweetness of the apple balances it perfectly. One of the best rubs I have tried.
Steph, my friend, I don't know what you're thinking in terms of producing this - or when it will be available for purchase, but take my advice, please make a big batch...it will go quickly.
Is it lunch time, yet?
