Hi all,
I've tried a good variety of rubs this year and frankly none of them have really lit my fuse, so to speak, and invariably I find myself going back to BRITU. I've tried Jane's Butt Rub, Meathead's Magic Dust, Slap Yo Daddy and another one that had a bit too much cayenne in it for our tastes. Essentially the flavours are, I don't know, somewhat bland I guess is the best way to describe it.
For sauce, I've only been using KC Masterpiece mixed 4:1 with clover honey. I just bought some off-the-shelf SBR sauce but have yet to try it.
What I'm NOT looking for is heat, or at least not very much of it. Neither my wife nor I enjoy spicy-heat nor am I a huge fan of excessive garlic. I'm looking for a little bit of a pop (rather than a POW) when you bite into the ribs, and a flavour that stays with you (in a good way) long after the ribs have been devoured.
I tried one sauce (Sweet-and-hot from the Maverick 5-0 BBQ team) and found it quite good and will probably pick up a bottle soon, but I'd like to find some other options as well.
I've heard reference to Wolfe rub but I don't know where to find it; is it still available and does anybody else know of either a rub mixture or a commercial product that may bring my Q to life a little?
Thanks!
