Being new to competing, I've been looking for some good recipes for rubs and injections for the 4 competition meats.
From what I've seen so far, it seems that most competitors use store bought stuff.
I get the appeal.
1. You're using something proven;
2. It's probably cheaper in the long run;
3. It takes less time.
But I'm wondering if all that weighs out with everyone here.
I LIKE making rubs, injections, etc. I consider bbq my art and this is part of it.
Plus, can the store bought stuff be THAT much better. Aside from some random ingredient that I haven't thought of and/or flavor enhancers, does it make that much of a difference.
Would love peoples' thoughts on this.
Also, if anyone has a great brisket or pork rub/injection recipe for comps, I'd love to try it out.
Thanks!!!
