Dizzy Pig, If you can't find it in a store near you, you can oder online. They have a locate a dealer section, where you enter your zip code and it'll tell you if any dealers are near by. You can buy a sample pack of 11 different rubs(3-4 tsp. each) to try and see which ones you like.

Read the label on most store bought rubs, most of the ingredents on that label you most likely have in your pantry. I always make my own and add different things depending on what I will be cooking its a whole lot cheaper.

Starting using Dizzy Pig rubs. I used "Raging River" on cedar planked salmon. It was excellent. I'm going to try "Red Eye Express" on steaks tonight.

I like DP and some of the Weber ones but mostly I use, for home and my business Savory Spice Shop out of Denver. I know they've opened up a new shop in St Petersburg but I get everything online. They also carry just about every pepper, curry and sea salt known to man.

I appreciate all the feedback - seems like consistently DP ranks up there. Have not seen it locally - but will check out their web site.

Besides the DP rubs, I make a espresso coffee rub, that I use alot
1 Tbs. finely ground espresso coffee beans
1 Tbs. pure ancho chile powder
1 tsp. natural cocoa powder
1 tsp. granulated garlic
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. ground fennel seed
1/8 tsp. ground allspice
4 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless rib eye steaks 1 1/2" thick
Directions
rub 1 1/2 Tbs. of mixture all over each steak. Grill to desired doneness
I tried this on some Ribeyes and there were great. It's a keeper for me.Felton, Ca. 2-LBGE, 1-Small, PBC, PK360, Genesis Summit, Camp Chef Flattop, Smokefire 24, Traeger Pro Series 22 Pellet with a Smoke Daddy insert, Gateway 55 Gal. drum, SNS Kettle w/acc. -
Billyray: I've been interested in trying a coffee rub. Thanks for posting that.
I'll have to look around for ancho chile powder though. Would it work with Chipotle or Cayenne?

Ancho is milder, so if you use the others, I would only do 1 to 1-1/2 tsp., instead of 1 Tbs.. McCormicks makes an Ancho chile powder and it was right next to their Chipotle in our local market.Felton, Ca. 2-LBGE, 1-Small, PBC, PK360, Genesis Summit, Camp Chef Flattop, Smokefire 24, Traeger Pro Series 22 Pellet with a Smoke Daddy insert, Gateway 55 Gal. drum, SNS Kettle w/acc.

Billyray,
Thanks for sharing. I made some up this morning and will be giving it a shot tonight.

I thought when I first tried it on Ribeyes, it might over power the meat, but it didn't. It just enhanced the flavor IMHO.Felton, Ca. 2-LBGE, 1-Small, PBC, PK360, Genesis Summit, Camp Chef Flattop, Smokefire 24, Traeger Pro Series 22 Pellet with a Smoke Daddy insert, Gateway 55 Gal. drum, SNS Kettle w/acc.

It seems that most good rubs are like that. When you taste them alone they are quite potent but when added to meat and cooked they mellow out and enhance the flavor as you point out rather than overwhelming it.
I enjoy mixing up my own seasonings and really look forward to trying this one. It seems similar to Dizzy Pig's Red Eye Express. I used that on some lambchops at Christmas and they were a big hit.
Thanks

I use Red Eye also, when I don't have time to make my own. I think the major difference in the one I make is espresso beans instead of regular coffee beans, the cocoa powder and the fennel seed. I hope it woks for you, let us know the outcome.

I made a double batch and stored it in a "recycled" seasoning container. Will let you know how it turns out.

I have used dizzy pig and bad byrons. I like them both. I've recently been turned on to Daddy Hinkles rubs and marinades. I find their original flavor marinade for steaks to make the best steak I have ever had. They are out of Cleveland Oklahoma and have a nice website. I recently placed a large order from them and it arrived very quickly. Just curious if anyone else has tried it and what they think of it?

when making a rub, how do you mix it? I have seen the spice grinder one of the guys use on BBQ Pitmasters - is that what you use?

I like to get whole spices when possible, toast them for a couple minutes in a heavy pan and then I have a small coffee grinder that I use only for spices.

Billyray - I used your rub recipe tonight on some thick butterfly pork chops. Outstanding. Thanks a lot!Jackson, Tennessee. VFL (Vol for Life)
