Ideas for what to do with these? (Dizzy Pig)

See attached pic.  I received a Dizzy Pig sample pack for Christmas.  There are 13 different seasonings, but they're all in .46 ounce packets.  I'm wondering what I can use them on.  Obviously, they're too small for smoking a butt or brisket.  Any ideas?  Has anyone else uses these yet?

    You can always mail them to me. 

    I use cowlick on steaks steaks and burgers. Swamp venom is my favorite, it's great on chicken (I use it on spatchcock) the firewalk is good on chicken too...I did a little jerk chicken once and used it as a rub. 

    The pineapple I have only used once on actual grilled pineapple and ice cream. Raging river and tsunami spin are really up to your imagination. Both are pretty light. 

    I havent tried the Game On yet. I have a bunch of duck in the freezer I think I'm gonna order some and give it a whirl. 

    I saw someone this this weekend on here using that red eye for scotch eggs I think. It looked amazing. 

    enjoy. Good luck.

    Burgers and wings work.  You can always cut a butt into country ribs and sample a bunch of flavors at ones.  This is one of my favorite ways to try rubs.

    Smoke a naked butt.  When pulling, separate into 6 piles.  Apply different rub to each pile and mix in.  It will give you an idea of what one you like best.

    Yeah probably not enough for a butt however there are lots of smaller cuts you can try them on.  Some thoughts:

    Pineapple head- grilled pineapple or any other grilled fruit/veggie. 
    Raging river- salmon. 
    Cow Lick/Raising the steaks - Steaks, burgers, or beef ribs.
    Dizzy pig original - ribs, pork tenderloin or loin, pork chops.
    Tsunami spin - shrimp.
    Swamp Venom/Jamaican fire walk- Wings, or a spatched chicken. 


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I agree with @Smokeypitt, Tsunami spin is also great on wings and shaking the tree on Chicken. Swamp Venom is great on wings as well. I have not tried the rest of them.

    There is more in those packets than you might think. You're right though, a 8-10# butt or a packer is prolly to much. Ribs you could swing and steaks and chicken etc.

    I am a big fan of Red eye(beef or pork) raging river (chick or salmon) cow lick, fajitaish, raising the steaks, Fire walk, HELL, I like them all. Happy egging.

    The best pork chop that I ever had was rubbed in Raging River then basted with a mix of melted butter and maple syrup.

    You have enough to do ribs, pork loin, steaks, chops, wings...as mentioned above, there's more in there than you think.

    I gave that same gift (plus the 'Ish" sampler) to two friends and myself this Christmas.  And there is more in them than you think.  Haven't had a chance to use too many of them yet though.

    Mediterranean-ish is great on pizza!!
