Best BBQ Dry Rub?

[Rawns]

It's BBQ season again! For those who BBQ or slow roast big hunks of meat, what do you use as a dry rub? This one is pretty epic but I'm curious to know other Geekers recipes.

 

This one is awesome!

 

1/4 cup dark muscavardo sugar

1/4 cup white sugar

1/4 cup paprika

1 Tbsp black pepper

1 Tbsp coarse sea salt

1 Tbsp cumin

1 Tbsp chili powder

1 Tbsp garlic powder

1 Tbsp onion powder

1 Tsp cayenne pepper

 

Rub in thoroughly and leave overnight!

I've never tried dry rubs, i normally go for mop sauce and keep basting the meat as it cooks/smokes

Not a rub but you should try the sauces from this guy The Rib Man

 

His food is so good

Rubs work great with smoking...mop sauces work great with BBQ grilling...if doing both (smoking first then grilling to finish) then rub first, and mop sauce for a glaze

Combine both. Dry rub for 24 hours then baste in sauce as it cooks. It's a double whammy of flavour!

Want to try this. What meat is best for this?

[featured_spectre]

Pork is best for this

Holy **** is ridiculously hot. It's not listed but if you ask nicely he'll sell you a bottle of the BBQ sauce which is by far my favourite.

Indeed, you can even soak pork in cola overnight if you want. Makes it very tender.

I did chicken in cola over the weekend, was very well received.

Boiling a Ham in cola is good...better than honey roasting!

^^ This.

 

First discovered this a couple of years ago when watching Nigella Lawson work her magic.

 

It has to be full sugar coke though, not diet, otherwise you won't get the awesome stick glaze when it's done!

I have some South African friends, they insist on BBQing (or Braai'ing as they call it) properly. So the coke thing was one of the things I picked up from them.
