Dizzy Pig

I've got 6 of Dizzy's rubs and they are great!

Just picked up Tsunami Spin today, and I've got chicken wings marinating in it right now. Trying it for the first time

@hopkinsusmc87 I have been smoking ribs on my BGE for 15 years.  Multiple, multiple rubs.  Never used anything but Dizzy Dust since I discovered it about a year ago.  You will remember the taste, long after you have forgotten the price.

Hokie when you do wings, your just cooking them on the egg, right? So you leave them on until they are real crispy and then add sauce or you just using Swamp Venom.  You guys are giving me great ideas. Love it

Just like you said, I coated them in Swamp Venom, grilled direct until crispy, then I baste them with a 50/50 mix of Franks Hot Sauce and Yoshida's Hawaiian sauce. My GF says that the Swamp Venom is her favorite but I've used Dizzy Dust & Raging River, both are very good.

My order has already shipped, that is great service. Looks like it will be here Monday.

I've consistently had the same great experience. Orders very often ship within a few hours of placing the order. For a small business....they seem to have things really humming along!

Dizzy Pig is pretty awesome. Was so pleased when I found my BGE specialty store here in the area sells the 9oz shakers, and at $9 each! That's the same price as their website, and no shipping!

Still got beef with the specialty store, only open Saturday and Sunday from 1pm to 5pm. They will open for you by appointment though. Feel bad calling for an appointment so I can buy 2 bottles of rub, lol.

Dizzy rubs have awesome quality. They taste fresh an unique. I would love to make rubs that are as good as theirs. I doubt I could come close to making a rub that had such a great combination of flavors.

I went to a BGE dealer in ATL yesterday who let me sample all of Dizzy Pig's and a few others. It was tough for me to decide how they would really compliment the meat of choice-I would rather have the same piece of meat prepared with each to help determine. I personally liked the dust and pineapple  the best. My all-time fav tho, are still John Henry's...I also got to sample some of his newest flavors. You simply can't beat 1/2 and 1/2 mix of Tammy's Herbal and Sugar Maple... it is outstanding and I always get rave reviews...I did not buy any of the Dizzy because I have a huge supply of JH and WIlliam Sonoma (good too) rubs right now.

I recently got three DP rubs, and used them all this past weekend.

I used "Shakin the Tree" on some chicken thighs, and it was really nice. Not your typical lemon-pepper rub at all.

Then I used some "Red Eye Express" on some lamb chops, again.....no complaints. I usually use olive oil, rosemary, and garlic on my lamb chops, but this was a nice change.

And finally, I used some "Dizzy Dust" on a rack of baby backs this morning. I did two racks, but wanted to compare the DD to my rub. When I first tasted the DD, I was surprised at how close it tasted to the rib rub I have been making for years. The DD is a bit sweeter, and lighter than my rub. After the cook, we tasted them side by side, and again....very close in taste. I  liked the DD a bit better because they must use less chili powder than I did in my last batch. My rub varies a bit form batch to batch.

All in all, the DP rubs were great, and I plan on getting some other ones to try out. Very quick shipping too!

You didn't get the new ones? ;;)

I remember a thread a while back reviewing some new DP rubs. I've been anxiously awaiting the retail release of the Bombay rub. I check DP's website on a regular basis and haven't seen anything about them. Does anyone know where they are available, or if they are?

Thanks.

I think they are going to be available this fall. Tried them at GA mountain fest...pretty damn good

I have made some great rubs. It's more time than I like to spend though. If I was in competition, yes. For my house, I prefer the ease of buying award wining rubs and spend the time drinking instead.

AMen to that!

So please post your rub recipe so we can play with it? If it's that close to Dizzy, I would like to be able to make it in a bind.

I will see if I can find the original recipe I started out with. I have made some changes to it over the years, but it was a good rub to start with.
