Rub suggestions
I've spent the summer working on my BBQ skills. My ribs this evening rocked for the most part. I won't reveal ratios, but I want to improve my rub.
Here's what went into today's version. Brown Sugar Salt Black Pepper Onion Powder Garlic Powder Chipotle Powder I'm thinking I need some paprika. Anyone else have a suggestion? |

Re: Rub suggestions
Should I? Too obvious? Not funny enough? OK, I won't.

Looks like pure setup all the way, but I admire your restraint, sir.

Re: Rub suggestions
Sounds like a tasty rub.
I like to do my rubs up with a touch of molasses, for flavor and ease of application. I also find a presoak in vinegar for a while to greatly increase tenderness. I would probably replace chipotle powder with paprika unless I was going specifically for chipotle flavor. Maybe just a touch of sage, & a dash of red chile, too. |

Re: Rub suggestions
KISS is best.
I've heard good things about smearing with mustard before the rub. I like allspice, and sometimes chinese 5-spice. I've used chiles and various chile powders (not chili powder). Paprika is quite common. Get a good hungarian or spanish. Thyme also works. The fun is in the experimenting! |

Re: Rub suggestions
Paprika is a solid base in almost all my rubs, can't imagine not using it, makes for a good crust when it cooks.
Celery seed is always good, cumin too, and thyme or oregano can be fine depending on what you are doing. And get a few kinds of pepper and mix them instead of just black. Rubs are awesome, the really cant be bad if you use start with the basics. Mustard seed...just looked through my spice rack and realized Ive used 'em all at some point |
