Found some matches.
Greetings all. Long-time lurker, first-time poster.
I've spent most of this year working on my ribs. I have been using Williams Food Co. Rib Tickler Rub to make the rib recipe commonly attributed to Johnny Trigg. It's been going over incredibly well!
I've been buying my rub online. Recently, it appears that my usual sources (Amazon, bbqrubs. com) are OUT and it doesn't look like more is on the way. Some moderate Google-diving indicates rumors that it may be discontinued. Given that my friends have been demanding these ribs, this situation cannot stand.
I've decided to try to recreate the blend myself. At the very least it will keep me busy until such time that more of the real thing hits the shelves. For laughs, I've decided to document and hopefully crowdsource the process here.
I made my first attempt this past weekend with the following recipe, based off someone else's attempt on another message board I found:
1 Cup Turbinado Sugar
2 Tbsp Kosher Salt
2 Tbsp Hungarian Paprika
2 Tbsp Granulated Garlic
2 Tbsp Black Pepper
1 Tbsp Red Pepper
The ingredient amounts align with the order they are listed on the bottle (most to least). The color was very close to what I have in my remaining half bottle of the real thing, probably a little redder. This may be due to the red pepper, which I'll discuss in a minute. I smoked them over apple wood on my offset.
How'd they turn out? This wasn't it. At all.
They lacked the same sweetness that RT had, and the aforementioned red pepper was way too much. I like a nice pop on my bbq, but this was more than I was looking for. Overall they were kind of bland.
My next pass is going to go to 1/2C turbinado sugar and 1/2C light brown sugar instead. I'm also going to add more salt...maybe 1/4C although I'd consider going to 1/2C. Finally I am reducing the red pepper to at least 1 Tsp, maybe even 1/2-3/4.
Does anyone else have any insight on the future of Rib Tickler rub or the recipe itself? I'll probably be doing this at least once a month until I either find something close or they start selling it again.
Cheers.
