Default My Pile -O- Pork Rub!

Hey guys,

Those of you who has tried it this past weekend, Should I add a little heat?

And what do you think about 2 cups instead of a cup of salt?

2 cups of salt to what?
We told you that salt should be your main or at least secondary seasoning so we cant tell you how much to add without knowing how big a batch your making.

Let me save you a ton of headaches and hassle.
The rub market is already totally flooded with "sweet and heat" rubs. Unless you have something spectacular that will make judges wet their pants, make your rub for yourself and enjoy it.

Derek,

Here goes, I can see it's time for another little chat.

You're going in 20 different directions again; wanting to buy a smoker from Gator Pits; wanting to package and market your rub; wanting to buy a vending/catering trailer; STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Concentrate on your cooking!!!!!!!!!!!! A gator pit, no matter if it's that tail-gator or another of his models is a wood burner, it will take tending all night at comps. If you want to get a bigger smoker that needs less tending look at a couple WSM's or a backwoods.

I agree with Bubba, make and perfect your rub for yourself. The store shelves and on-line bbq stores are full of rubs, yours would just be another addition to the list.

Again.....FOCUS, on getting your timing down, your temp/fire control down, and your seasoning and sauce matches perfected, and learn the art/science of BBQ so that you can do it in your sleep...

LOL, Well I almost stayed up all night, I had 3 hours of sleep that whole weekend.

You could have had 5 hour energy drink or red bull "bull's piss"

Derek

Why are you inventing the wheel. Buy some winning rub, use it as directed and see what the fark it tastes like. Then experiment.

Judges give you 6s on taste. If you want to win then cook for the judges like the rest of us. No more wining about your rub.

You are rapidly coming up on the Sams Club GiG. You don't have any more time to waste. Use what you learned and move on.
