Barbecue? Great Spice Blends

jeffinsgf · July 8th, 2009, 08:20 AM

It's funny how in one internet community a product can be wildly popular, yet barely known in the rest of the world. One such product is a line of spice blends (or "rubs") from a company called Dizzy Pig. In the world of Big Green Egg smoker grills, Dizzy Pig is regarded as one of the best (if not the best) line of rubs made. I certainly feel that way and have well over half of all the different varieties they offer. But, you just don't hear about them much outside the BGE forum and/or dealer base.

I made salmon last night with a recipe from Dizzy Pig using their "Raging River" rub. It occurred to me that our new food forum really needed to know about this stuff.

I usually just end up making my own, but I really don't have a recipe. Start out with brown sugar, add cayenne pepper, garlic and onion powder, salt, black pepper, and any herb i happen to have handy, although I prefer parsley. I just mix it till it tastes good.

A couple weeks ago, we butchered and smoked a pig, and used this. We also use salsa on it. Turned out great after 16 hrs. of a slow fire.

I've done that, too. But the DP blends have far more stuff in them and have been tailored for various purposes.

I'm not. the smoker we use is made out of an old LP tank with the firebox to the side. Smoke with hicory mainly.

The closest place that sells them is about an hour away. I certainly wil keep them in mind though, thanks for the tip.

Alabamy,

They sell direct on their web site. Price with shipping is usually about the same or a little better than retail.
