BBBR vs Texas AP Seasoning

[racertrader]

doing a brisket for the Memorial Day Weekend and wanted to get your thoughts about using Meathead's Big Bad Beef Rub or Malcolm's Taxes AP seasoning. I've used the BBBR before and liked it, but the simplicity of the AP seasoning has some appeal.

Malcom uses his AP as a base layer.

They both work, so it's up to personal taste preference. For me, I just eyeball salt, pepper and garlic. You can buy these pre-mixed, but I'm happy with my guesstimation method.

I'm a big fan of Hank's Bonafide Beef Rub for brisket, but Henrik discontinued it on Amazon. As mentioned above, go with what sounds good to you.

Wow! Henrik is moving to the US and bringing his smoker and BBQ rub business across the pond! Woohoo! New offsets for everybody!

That's the rumor I'm starting, and I'm sticking to it!

[CaptainMike]

Well Henrik , you haven't let us down yet!!

Well, you guys sure raise the bar, no pressure ;-) jfmorris CaptainMike

Personally, I like the BBBR. If I were going with just SPG, I think the one thing I'd borrow from the BBBR recipe is the white sugar to facilitate bark formation.

I just did a brisket using Meatheads rub and it turned out excellent. I usually use Oakridge BBQ Black Ops rub which I really like. I have not tried Malcolm's AP

Malcom uses his AP as a base layer.

hhmmm...does that mean he uses the AP the night before, then adds a different rub? I was going to use kosher salt overnight, then add the rub (AP or BBBR).

Since the AP has salt in it, I'd put it on the night before and skip the Kosher salt.
