I did a little test with some seasoning I had found at Aldi's. It is Tanjin which is made in Mexico. It is a simple mix, chili peppers, sea slat, and dehydrated lime. As a comparison I made another rack with Plowboys Yardbird. I seasoned each rack the night before. The were on the Weber kettle with a slow and sear for 4 hours at 275 with Royal Oak lump and wild cherry wood. I added brown sugar to half of each rack, something I normally like. I also sauced the Yardbird rack and the Tanjin brown sugar half at the end.
Results, I really liked the Tanjin. There was very little heat from the chili peppers. However, the lime was distinct. It accentuated the sweet from the pork very nicely. And, it was a very different flavor. I will do it again but it will not be my normal rub. I recommend you try it.
