Big Green Egg Viva Caliente Rub Discontinued

woodhead

I'm pretty sure the folks at Dizzy Rubs made the Viva Caliente' rub for BigGreen Egg. Now that BGE doesn't carry it any longer, do any of you know what Dizzy Rub is similar to the Viva Caliente'? i use it for my rub on Wings and i am addicted?

I dont know, but have you considered giving them a call?

I’m positive that you can find some still on the shelves if you call around or check online. 

Time to stock up like Elaine and her Sponges

Loved the Seinfeld reference!!!  thanks

Also, Call BGE HQ. They likely still have some for sale through their store.

I bet @Nature Boy might have some insight as to which standard DP rub is the closest. I'm guessing perhaps Swamp Venom. Both descriptions mention african peppers.

It's been 2+ yrs since they split with DP.  Those old bottles had the little spiral on the label.

Kodiak was very similar if not the same as Raging River.

Call DP and have them suggest an "alternative" and I'm sure you'll be very happy with it.

But then he’d have to ask if each hunk of meat was “caliente-worthy”.

Kind of pricey but Amazon has it.

Maybe someone could post the ingredient list and we can collectively try and get something similar together.

Swamp Venom is actually really close. Happy cookin'! Chris

thanks everyone....saw amazon had it but as you said very pricey. I'll give the swamp venom a try and report back.
