My Dry Rub


Its that time of year when the barbecue hits the grills & smokers and so I thought I'd post my favorite dry rub recipe.

I only use this rub & a variation of it on pork products and It is well- liked. Remember that you want to wash & pat your meats dry before you apply a rub, then add rub to one side, wait about 10 minutes, then do the other side. You want the natural juices of the meat to set the rub well. Then rest the product in the cooler for a while to allow the salt and spices to permeate the product before slowly cooking it on the grill.

Do not fear using a rub. You can also paint the meat with a sauce about 10 minutes before removing the meat from the grill.

But this is a rub recipe - not a tutorial on barbecue...Enjoy!
