Rub or Sprinkle?

[Grumpy Gator]

Ok, here's the question for today:

Do you really rub the Rub into the meat, or do you just sprinkle it on?

[Zeeman]

Mind reader! :shock: I rub (almost like paste) it on my spares and sprinkle it (shifter) on my wifeys. :D

[shortwavez]

i always rub instead of sprinkling

[carnivore]

I rub fist fulls of the stuff...I view it as one of those things in life where over kill is good...

[Red Hanky BBQ]

I use a shaker. I have much less waste.

[Tailwagger]

I RUB IT IN. JUST FIGURE IF IT WAS NAMED SPRINKLE I WOULD SPRINKLE. :wink: SO SINCE ITS A RUB, JUST KINDA SEEMED NATURAL TO RUB. I KNOW IF I WAS A PIECE OF MEAT I WOULD RATHER BE RUBBED THAN SPRINKLED ON :shock: :shock: !!!

[Woodman]

I use a strainer and push it through. Sprinkle! If you are doing quantity, you cannot really rub! You get too messy!

[Dirty Ron]

too much is overkill...sprinkle

[Roadkill]

its all about the hands :wink:

[redneck cooker]

Rub only, baby!!!!!!!!! Its all about rubbin my meat :shock: :shock: :shock: :wink: :wink: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It all depends on the mood that I am in @ that time. But usually I just rub it on myself. Although I have be known to sprinkle it on Teut les temps en temps(Translates to every now & then).

French aye? I'm impressed!

[JimBobTex]

I just sprinkle it on after applying a thin coat of yellow mustard or worchestire sauce. Rubs like Texas BBQ rub just melt into the meat after 15 minutes. And there is a school of thought that says rubbing it in clogs the pores making it more difficult for the rub to get inside the meat. I don't know if it's true, but that's what John Willingham claims in his book.

That's about how I do it. I'm usually sprinkling with one hand and rubbing with the other until I like the coat.

This is starting to sound a little weird. :shock:

[BBQ101]

:lol: I use the sifter trick. Works great and saves rub.

[TexLaw]

I just use my fingers for sprinkling. Sometimes, I use a large spoon or even a slotted spoon.

[txbbqcarrie]

I do a little of both...rub and sprinkle!

[jshively]

Depends how lonely I am that week. If it is really a lonely week I rub a lot. If not I try to sprinkle a few in.

[Buckeye]

[KazQ]

For ribs i like to rub the bone side and sides of the ribs heavily, and just sprinkle the meaty side.Works for me.

[KazQ]

:lol: I use the sifter trick. Works great and saves rub.

101 i believe i seen a photo of your application of TBBQ rub,thought you used a shovel :lol: :lol: hmm or was that Zeemans pile of rub?

[BBQ101]

I used to put on a heavy coating. I now give it a light dusting from a flour sifter.

We have a rat problem in downtown I could collect some furs of them and overnight them to you.

Been awhile since I skinned a rat guess last time was when I was in the mafia and Junior tried to endrun the boss.

[Smoke Daddy]

let me guess...."you made him an offer he couldn't refuse..... :)

[jshively]

let me guess...."you made him an offer he couldn't refuse..... :)

Nahhh....can't endrun the boss without meeting the cheese slicer. One of those non-negotiable sins in the family business.

[Woodman]

Doesn't one usually follow the other?

[Fred]

Rubbing my meat is something I take serious

I rub it in well & do a sprinkle at the end

[Fairfield_Smoking]

I think to get it done right it takes the perfect combination of sprinkling, patting, and rubbing.

[BBQ101]

:lol: Smoke Daddy do not get that one. I killed one of those already. Get the old fashioned one with the wire that goes around. That one has a double sifting action and the rub clumps in the middle of the 2 screen. Just get ya a cheap wire sifter.

I'm with you on that, 101. I swear by the crank-style sifter. I never liked those where you squeezed the handle.

[Woodman]

He's talking about a wire strainer. You just push through any lumps with your hands. This is not a mechanical product.
