Title: 'Salt Lick' rub clone
Post by: squirtthecat on August 11, 2010, 07:10:16 PM

I've settled on:

1-1-1/3-1/3 portions of salt/pepper/cayenne/garlic powder.
(1/3 part garlic powder is roughly the same as 2/3rds part granulated garlic)

Tastes great on butts & briskets - or any large hunk o' meat.

Ok I'm ready to try the Salt Lick Clone.  So when you make it do you usually to 1c salt 1c pepper 1/3c cayenne and 1/3c garlic powder?

Yeah, that will make a bunch. Try to use the finest grinds of salt/pepper you can find.

Looks like it will make a bunch.  I am going to do a trial run of pulled beef with the seven bone using the salt lick and if all goes well I will be doing it again at the Florida Smoke Out.  Thanks Squirt!

Funny - I've used kosher salt and rough ground pepper - turned out fine.

Yeah, it'll taste the same.  I was just trying to duplicate the texture of the commercial stuff...   I think they mix it, and then grind it all again into a weaponized powder.    It's pretty dangerous if you are using it outside in a stiff breeze!

I think theirs has far more Cayenne in it...   I toned my version down a tiny bit.

Picked me up a Salt Lick original BBQ Sauce and Spice Sauce tonight at a place down on the McKinney, TX square that only carries sauces, spices, rubs, salsas and jelly's from Texas.  Told him he needs to get some of the Salt Lick Rub.

Below is the website for the store.  Every time I go in there I spend at least an hour sampling things.

i am looking to making some salt lick clone for myself.  one thing.  i not suppose to use to much salt in my diet.  how do you think it would taste if i used 1/2-3/4 cup salt, 1 cup pepper, 1/3 cup garlic powder, 1/3 cup cayenne?  to much salt is not good for my heart.  :(

Sparky, they have a Garlic Salt Lick blend.  From a quck taste, I think you can simulate it with 1-1-1/3-1/3 mix of

Garlic Powder
Black Pepper
Cayenne
Kosher Salt

Basically just swap the Garlic powder for the Salt.
