Question for Nature Boy

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
Nature Boy,
I'm about to try another brisket and I remember reading in one of your posts that you cut your Cow Lick rub with brown sugar with good results. I was just wondering what ratio you used and also, do you think I should use a mustard coating. I don't want you to give away any secrets, just looking for a little guidance.[p]Thanks in advance,
Chuck Lane

    Hi Chuck.
    I guess it is somewhere around a half and half mix, and I've been using turbinado sugar. At the competition, I covered the brisket with a healthy coat of cowlick, then sprinkled (and pressed with my hands) as much coarse turbinado sugar as I could get to stay on. I guess brown sugar would work as well, as long as you don't get your cooking temps too hot....turbinado has a higher burning point.[p]It really helps make a nice crust, and never ends up too sweet for me...especially with the spiciness of the rub.[p]I personally don't use mustard on briskets.[p]Enjoy! And let us know how it comes out.

    Nature Boy,
    Thanks for the advice. I don't recall seeing any turbinado sugar at any of the stores around here but there must surely be some in Atlanta somewhere![p]Regards,

    Chuck Lane,
    It might be called "Sugar In the Raw" or Hawaiian Sugar. Upscale grocery stores usually have it (in 2 pound boxes). Also, I have heard natural food stores sometimes carry it. The other day I was at my local Hispanic market, and they had bags of it (labelled brown sugar), but it is really raw sugar. You should be able to find it. It is nice to have around![p]Beers

    Chuck Lane,
    Publix carries it, as NatureBoy says its brand name is "Sugar in the Raw" it comes in a box, I guess its about 1lb. It is in the section with sugar & flour & stuff... just bought a box at the sugar Hill Publix a few weeks ago.

    Terry Brady,
    Thanks, I'll take another look on the next trip to the store. I used regular brown sugar with no problem. I don't think the low and slow cooks get hot enough to burn the sugar anyway.[p]Regards,
    Chuck Lane
