3 racks 3 rubs

[jamesnomore]

3 of the rubs I've gotten so far from my rub trade @WNC @jdefran and @Winz, each of the 3 are very different so I can't wait to try them side by side.

Each rub got its own rack for a little family gathering. Going dry, no wrap. I cut the biggest rack in half to even out the cooking times and temps, so far blue has been running 10-20 degrees cooler than the browny.

If your lucky I'll remember to take plated pics of the big finally

The rubs:

The racks:

Mustard and rub

The artillery:

Winz and 1/2 of WNC

Jdefran and the other 1/2 of WNC

2 hour check and grate rotate:

The other running hotter, since pinched way back:

And the winner is......your company. I'm sure all 3 are top notch

Looks great! Can't wait to hear what you think.

I'll be using yours this weekend on a pork butt.

All of the rubs were great!
Some sides

Sliced!

Oooof!

Really curious how you'd rank them, including a comparison to your usual rib rub.

Looks like a pretty stout snake. What was your layout? Bout how long?

My snake set up is 2 rows on the bottom at approx 45 degree angle with a single row on top at the same angle with a few chunks for the beginning of the cook. I can usually get 10 hours with my snake if needed, these went 5 hours so I had quite a bit of coal leftover.

@Winz rub is closest to my own rub and had some very familiar flavors but subtle differences that kept it unique so enjoying my own rub best I'd pick his first  . @WNC and @jdefran rubs were really nice, a nice peppery kick and not to sweet. Makes me think of some variations I can employ for other rubs. I'm thinking they'd be great for pulled pork.

I went 30-45 minutes longer than needed so a little dryer than my preference but still very good. We were battling a crazy storm, probably got 1 inch of rain in the last 2 hours of my cook so I had to give up some time to protecting the house and moving some things around to not flood.

That giant plate of ribs is calling my name!

Great palette you have. That was my pulled pork rub and my rib rub is sweeter..
