So far I've liked all the DP I've tried. Right now Raging River is going quickly here, on chicken and fish, kids love it. For beef stews and chili type, burgers, Cow Lick is my go to.They/Them

I'm a big fan of DD rubs, partly because as others have said, they are less salty than most others which we prefer. My favorite so far is Swamp Venom, but don't use it as much as I'd like because of the rest of the family. Also love Cow Lick on steaks and burgers. Dizzy Dust and Raging River have gotten good reviews here also. I really want to try Jamaican Firewalk.
My problem with the DD line is only one place anywhere near me (within less than 45 min-1 hour) carries it and their selection is very slim. And the shipping rates are far too high to justify ordering online for an already pretty expensive line of rubs. I've been using more and more other rubs lately just because of this reason.

My absolute favorite is Pineapple Head on a shoulder to make pulled pork. So tasty and everyone raves when I do it.

I have a 15 pound full packer brisket in the refrig covered with course grind dizzy dust wrapped in plastic for the night. Going on at 10:00 Thursday morning for a cookoff at work at 11:00 AM Friday. Every time I take one into work, it is gone in less than 10 minutes. I use pineapple head on Maker's Mark soaked pineapple rings that grill up really nice and tasty. Cow lick is great too. I do put on a lot. Maybe you aren't using enough?

Dizzy Pig and Oakridge BBQ here. I'm trying to figure out this Bad Byron's. I put it on like I do DP and Oakridge and that stuff is way to salty for my taste.

I am a huge fan of most Dizzy Pig rubs but I have to agree with your wife about tsunami spin... Try Raging river on chicken breasts or wings and you will understand. We use it on everything...____________________Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. •Niccolo Machiavelli

I go heavy on Raising the Steaks, Swamp Venom and Tsunami Spin for (Spatchcock Chicken) Strangely enough, Raising the Steaks is also great on chicken. I've been feeling a little low - at first I thought it was because the GFU was away this week. After 3 sessions with my analysts, I've come to realize that I haven't bought anything since the Lodge Combo last week. I needs me some pineapple head and some red eye at a minimum. My last order from DP, in spite of the high shipping prices on their site, they fit everything in a flat rate box, and credited me the difference (all done without any input from me). Good folks, great rubs!!Santa Paula, CA

Thanks all for the replies. It's given me some more ideas and options.Doing burgers tonight, so I'll try the suggestions for that.I'll try the RR again on my next spatchcock, I'll just have to go heavy on it. I guess I'm used to other rubs, and not putting so much on to make sure it's not too salty. I will admit, I do like the the taste of the rubs by themselves, I guess I just haven't really had a good coat on it, and really pack it on.VictorLBGEAmerica's Best Coast - The Space Coast

The key is to bypass the holes in the lid and use the pour spout on the other side. It takes some experimentation to get it exactly right, but honestly, you can't really mess it up. If you pour out too much, just spread it around a little. Enjoy!!

I love Raging River on Chicken Wings, I put 3 tbsp on 2 lbs of wings and add 2 tbsp of corn starch
Just got some Shaking the Tree I want to try on wings too!
Love Cow Lick and Raising the Steaks on Beef

Ok, made burgers last night, with Cow Lick, I accidentally spilled a lot on the burger and thought it would be ruined b/c there was so much on there....turned out excellent. Guess I may have just been using too little?? I'm gonna try Ragin River fairly heavy on some chicken this weekend, we'll see how that turns out.Glad it turned out so good. Looking forward to more surprises :-)VictorLBGEAmerica's Best Coast - The Space Coast

It's all I buy. I actually convinced the place I bought my egg from to start carrying the entire line, and they did.The glazed salmon is the best thing I make simply because I use raging river. Outstanding stuff.
-
Forgot to add that I bought and used the curry blend.... AWESOME. However, my house stunk for two weeks, so it is only an outside rub from now on.

I am a big fan of Dizzy, especially RedEye Express. It's good on just about all meat, IMO. RR is also great on Salmon. Dizzy Dust is really good on pork, Raising the Steaks on burgers, meatloaf, steaks. I really like Swamp Venom on my wings.
The key is like many have said, use a lot of it.. seasoning burns/cooks off during the cooking process.

I'm personally a pretty big fan of DP. When I first got my egg I received all the rubs they made at the time as a gift so I used them almost exclusively. Now I like playing around with other rubs and making my own. However I still keep 4-5 of them around. I don't really like tsunami spin though. Just a little to subtle for my pallet.1 large BGE, Spartanburg SC

I've never tried it, buy locally and really don't like having to pay twice the price of other rubs.Dan, Columbia,Mo.

Rebelst8 said:I guess my question is, am I doing something wrong? They seem to be too subtle of flavors, but again, I don't know if I'm not putting enough on, or if I'm putting too much.For instance: How heavy do you cover boneless skinless chicken breasts? The chicken always turns out great, but flavor always depends on the rub or marinade, and DP seems to be on the shortlist of what my wife doesn't like.Mike

I've found you have to go heavy with Dizzy Pig products which we love and buy regularly! We love our beef heavily coated in Red Eye Express! Raging River, Jamaican Firewalk, and Swamp Venom are faves as well! You gotta go heavy though because they make it so you have to go through it quickly then buy more! Great marketing plan IMHO!

It's true DP does a good job marketing to the BGE community, and that may be some of the reason it is so popular. But I think the Jamaican Firewalk is superb on spatchcock chicken.LBGE

RRP said:DocWonmug said:It's true DP does a good job marketing to the BGE community, and that may be some of the reason it is so popular.Perhaps some history would be of interest here. Way back in 2000 when I first became an egger and joined the original forum Chris was already there and he used to share his rub formulations. He was very creative and developed a following of eggheads. I printed out many of them and used to mix them myself based on his detailed formulas. I forget exactly when and who it was but somebody whispered in his ear that he had a knack and to quit giving away his formulations! Slowly thereafter Chris started Dizzy Pig and built it into the brand that it is today. Besides producing the DP products he also has a BGE dealership and has years of success on the national BBQ circuit. You might say some of us grew up watching Chris/Dizzy Pig turn into an American success story!Mike
