WOW.... Mainegg just did a sparchcocked turkey the other day and used a coffee rub. After talkeing with Mainegg and finding she got the rub from RichardFl (the recipe of HungryMan).
Wanted to try it before having lots of people over Sat. night and doing a spatchcocked Turkey. Did the chicken tonight and let me tell you. Use the coffee rub on chicken or turkey- WOW
Thanks to lots of forum members on this one.....

    Glad you liked it. I hand carried the Kona beans from Maui. I still have some left. Also brought home some black and red sea salt.

    Blame it all on Molly and Al's trip to Hawaii. No they did not go together. Thanks folks. Hope you enjoy, I like it on beef, 'specially steaks rubbed 1 hour and them 600-650 sear etc.

    Rub, "Kona Coast Rainbow Rub", #2, Richard Fl

    My friend, Al Katz-- AKA Hungry Man from the BGE Forum, recently returned from some "R" & "R" in Hawaii and brought back some Hawaiian Sea salt and Kona Coffee beans. Asked me to make a coffee based rub. Did not have enough Kona coffee, (too D@%* expensive), so added a few others to make a decent size batch. Started with the great recipe Molly Shark has been sharing for several years and and one found on the internet, made a few modifications Thanks folks.


    INGREDIENTS:
    12 Ozs Coffee Beans, Your Choice, I like Columbian Ground originally recipe had 4 ozs Kona
    4 Ozs. Hawaiian Sea Salt, White, add salt after the other ingredients so as not to over salt the rub
    10 Ozs. Turbindo Sugar
    6 Ozs. Indian River Rainbow Pepper
    12 Ozs. Char-Broil Pulled Pork Rub, Pork rub of Choice
    6 Ozs. Jimmy Joe's Poultry Rub, Mild rub, little salt flavor, Jimmy Joe's Poultry Rub, (AC LEGG"S Old Plantation BBQ Rub #107)




    Procedure:
    1 Measure each item by weight. If not fine ground, run thru a coffee grinder. Each item by itself. Screen thru a vegetable wire strainer to get larger pieces out- re-grind them. Mix all together.


    Yield: 24 Ozs. /1 1/2 Pounds

    Recipe Type
    Rub/Seasoning/Spice

    Cooking Tips
    For these 2 rubs you may use your favorite pork or poultry rub. just make sure the salt is last added 'cause some rubs have more salt than others.

    2009/06/16-- Took the original "KONA" recipe and cranked it up for more, coffee flavor, salt and heat flavor.

    2009/08/14--Took this recipe and added 3 ozs Red Pepper, Fine and used 18 Ozs Old Plantation BBQ Rub #107 and that was used in place of the Jimmy Joes and Char Broil rubs.

    It's a gimmick. They just color it.
