Title: Uncle Pigfat's Bubb Rubb for pork
Post by: Uncle Pigfat on August 03, 2010, 06:59:51 AM
CRG asked for it, so here it is:

* 4 tablespoons Dark Brown Sugar
* 2 tablespoons Hungarian Paprika
* 2 tablespoons Onion Powder
* 4 teaspoons or 1 & 1/3rd tablespoon Kosher Salt
* 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
* 2 teaspoons Black Pepper
* 2 teaspoons Chipotle Chili Powder - this gives it more heat and a nice smokiness but regular chili powder is pretty good too.
* 1 teaspoon Ground Thyme
* 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper - adjust for heat, especially if using reg. chili powder.
* 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
* 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon Cumin

I haven't tried this with a mustard slather so I'm not sure what kind of results that will yield.  I don't go nuts with the rub.  I like to sort of see the meat through it after I've patted/pressed it in.  This quantity will do a 5 lb butt and a rack or 2 of bbrs.  I always give the meat a dry marinade overnight with this stuff.  It barks up really nice on my ribs and butts even when I don't use it liberally.

I've thought of using cinnamon in mine but haven't yet? It's interesting to see it being used!

They're delicious.  I've always loved nutmeg on pork (in the marinade I make for my pork, red onion and peach kabobs it is killer).  The cinnamon brings a lot to the party too.  It's hard to describe.  There's a lot of flavor in that rub that you'll have to experience for yourself.

I agree about the cinnamon. I've always loved it in savory foods.

I made up a Batch of "Uncle Pigfat Budd Rubb" and will have to say

I like the taste and look forward to using it on some smoke pig.

It kinda taste like Grub Rub, maybe not as sweet. Plus Grub Rub

is almost $7 a bottle.

Thanks Uncle Pigfat

I'll take that endorsement as success.  Glad you like it.  It's much better after it's been soaking into some flesh  ;D

I made this thinking I had had no Chipotle Chili Powder,

so I used a Mexican Chili Powder in it place. All other ingredients

were as you described.

Well right in front of my eyes I found a 21 oz bottle of Soutwest

Chipotle Chili Powder and will make another batch tomorrow and see

if there is a big difference for me.
