My take on the TexasBbqRub#1

Time:
Time what can I say before trying TexasBbqRub#1 I used to spend hours making rubs. When you add up the time wasted shopping for spices mixing the rubs and cleaning up the kitchen you have lost a couple of hours. If I were to put a price on my off time I would have to say 20$ per hour. Lets say 2.5 hours for a batch of rub will be 50$ that would pay for 8 lbs of TexasBbqRub#1 and a bottle of Grilling Magic.

Prep Time:
I used to rub my meat the night before a cook and wrap it in cling wrap to sit in the fridge overnight. Lets just say my wife used to be less than happy with the mess I made and the way I would make it all fit in the fridge. Now it is easy as 1-2-3. It took me all of 20 minutes to prep 14 pork for a big cook out at work. I used 1 disposable pan to dredge the meat in Worcester sauce and flour sifter to apply the rub to the butts laid out on foil.

Taste:
I was always trying to new recipes some my own creations and some from cook books or the INTERNET. Even though most were OK they just were not what I was looking for. Then I tried TexasBbqRub#1 on a pork spare ribs and I was hooked! Then I tried it on chicken and it was great. Then I tried my first beef brisket at home and it was better than I can get at local BBQ franchises like Tony Romas, Red Hot & Blue and Famous Dave's. Then after reading BBQ Doug's post on how he does pork butts I thought I would give it a try and man was I glad I did "OUTSTANDING". My pork butts were very good before and now I have people begging me to let them know when I plan to fire up the Pitt so they can bring a butt or two by so they can have some to take home.

Consistency:
When making a rubs at home sometimes even using the same recipe the rub would taste different one batch to the next. I know this has to do with the age of the spices older spices losing there flavor and newer spices being stronger. With TexasBbqRub#1 my first oder had the same flavor as my last order and I know the order I just placed will have the same great flavor!
Because the TexasBbqRub product always taste the same I am able to produce the same Great BBQ time and time again. I get to perfect the art of cooking great BBQ instead of wondering what I did different.

Value:
When you think about it this rub pays for itself. Try it and you will see! I have to tell you I am always glad to put in my order with Bill by phone. One time we were on the phone for almost a 2 hour's talking BBQ. It's great have friends like Bill and our site members!

If this sounds like a endorsement that because it is!!! Before I made good BBQ now I am Pitt Master!!! Ordering TexasBbqRub is the best money I have EVER SPENT.

I almost forgot if you have not tried the BBQ gloves Bill sell's you are making a big mistake. The gloves are awsome. It is so easy to move pieces of hot meat around without getting burned fingers. I keep a bucket of water near the pitt so I can clean em of real quick. I do not use paper towels around the Pitt anymore!!! The gloves make pulling pork a piece of cake. :lol:

BBQ101,

Very nice testimonial about your experiences. I whole heartedly agree with you.

Under "Prep" you stated that you use a flour sifter to apply the rub. Could you tell me why you do it this way instead of manually massaging it on? I thought part of reason you end up with the product you do is because the rub gets worked into the meat and forms that wonderful paste on the exterior.

Since I bought Bills gloves I have thrown away many of my flipping and poking utensils. Why go to all the trouble of trying to keep the moisture inside then poke it with a sharp object and watch it drizzle out!

Because I was doing 14 pork butt I wanted a faster way to apply the rub evenly and it worked well. I like to rub on the Worcester sauce and sprinkle on the rub. Sometimes I do massage the rub into the meat but not alway.

I must admit, I don't follow Bill's "secret" to the tee. I have always been an advocate of a slather on the pork & brisket, as opposed to straight wo. sauce. But, either way..the rub is fantastic! I hope you guys get a chance to try the grilling magic - my wife loves it on chicken, etc. A nice mix of sweet & spice to compliment whatever you are cooking.

BBQ101,

OK, I understand your position. It appears to be an efficiency thing with large volumes of meat. I may try it with the sifter going forward.

Ron,

The "Slather" you mentioned, is that a mixture of Bills Rub mixed with Worchestershire then apllied to the meat? I had thought about doing it this way but have always exactly followed Bill's 123 method. I do have some grilling magic but have not had time to experiment with it.

:D
