PBC Rubs

[lschweig]

I have tried the PBC AP rub and really really like it on chicken and turkey as per fzxdoc recommendation, but have not tried it on anything else.

Two other rubs came with the PBC and I have not tried them on anything else as of yet.

So I am wondering what people think of the other rubs as well as the AP rub, what they have used them on, and their opinions.

My go to for some time now has been MHMD for pork and BBBR for beef.

I use the All-purpose on all my butts. I order it 5 pounds at a time. I put it on early for a dry brine since it has plenty salt.

[lschweig]

Makes sense as it does have plenty of salt.
How early do you put it on? I really like bark so I tend to put a heavy coat on.

[Jerod Broussard]

lschweig 24-48 hours minimum. 72 hours if I got some really thick ones

I've also used All Purpose on pork butts, and it's delicious. AP is pretty salty, although I've never had a PB come out too salty with it and I tend to put it on heavy as well. My go to rub for PB remains MMD, though.

I'm not a big fan of the Beef and Game Rub--I prefer BBBR, but then I like a spicy rub on beef.

Nowadays I pretty much use AP exclusively for poultry.

Kathryn, when you used it on a PB did you put anything besides the AP rub on it?
Also have your tried Chris Lilly's World Championship Pulled Pork recipe? If not I highly recommend giving it a shot. I love MMD for ribs but usually don't use it on PB.

Thanks, Nate, for the tips. I tend to be a purist and only put one recipe of rub on a meat, so I just used the AP to see how it was. Pretty tasty. Haven't tried the Chris Lilly recipe but will look at it based on your recommendation. MMD is great on ribs, I agree, but I like it on PB as well. That said, I'm always eager to change things up a bit, so the Lilly recipe might just be the ticket.

I use the beef and game on rack of lamb and it is fantastic, no more rosemary and garlic for me

I haven't tried PBC's Beef and Game Rub myself as I have always used BBBR and I think it works wonderful w/ beef. Their AP rub is pretty good though. I have used it on chickens and turkey breasts. For all things pork, my rub so far has been MMD. I, too like @Ischweig, like bark, so I really cake the rub on. This Thanksgiving, I did use S & G Rub on my turkey and I really liked it...it may be my new go to rub for poultry. Chris Lilly's recipe I would love to get a taste of.

I'll have to try out the AP again, can't remember what we tried it on but it was pretty salty. My go to for chicken and ribs has been Steven Raichlen's Beer Can Chicken Rub, MMD, and BBBR.

I've been using AP on birds and Texas Grand Champion on ribs and butts. From Jerod's comment, I should be applying much earlier. If I planned that far ahead.
