First Dizzy Pig (and other) Rub Cooks, with pics
Stormbringer
Posts: 2,478
Whilst in the USA we picked up a few rubs to try back home. This included Dizzy Pig original, the ones they made for BGE corporation and some from Gourmet Grills in Boise (not pictured, apparently they did not fit with the symmetry of the shot):

Suffice to say that we are now loving the rub scene.
No time was wasted between landing and experimentation, we went straight in with rib eyes cooked with Cow Lick:

I tried this with our new half moon griddle to cook tomatoes and mushrooms, great piece of kit:

Served with broccoli and triple cooked duck fat chips ... outstanding. The main attraction though was the steak, and a big thumbs up for the rub:

Next up was double cut pork chops with Tsunami Spin. It was a post by @The Cen-Tex Smoker about the best pork chop he had tasted that first alerted me to Dizzy Pig, so I had to give that a try. It turned out brilliantly, and better than the attempt I made to replicate the rub based on the ingredient list (although it was a reasonable approximation):

Last one was an homage to Dan Sweet at Gourmet Grills in Boise. He was front of house in their pop-up, next to a chap with a BBQ making all manner of wonderful food. He sold us the Dizzy Pig but also threw in a couple of their house rubs. We tried the Cascade Chicken seasoning with a spatchcock chicken and sweetcorn, fabulous stuff:

@Nature Boy ... thanks. Do you have an importer in the UK? I found your products on amazon but they are like double the price of the stuff from your side of the pond. As we're heading back in June next year I can hang on but being able to buy the stuff here would be good. That and CGS kitNature Boy said:Thanks for giving us a spin @Stormbringer!

Also a question about application of the rub ... I have lightly brushed meats with EVOO to act as an adhesive for the rub, is that a good thing to do? Didn't seem to do any harm, just wondered if it was right or there's a better way. Applying the rub to the meat by itself led to rub on the plate, not the meat.

@Stormbringer have you checked out BBQ Gourmet?
Putting oil on the meat, then rub, seems to work fine. However, I get by just as well just starting with slightly wet meat, or at least enough dampness that it adheres by pressing it with your hands.
Cheers!

My company is a dizzy pig distributor and I love the dizzy dust and the pineapple head.
That being said we bought some meat church stuff a couple of weeks ago and it is pretty good too.
I just finished left over pork chops with pineapple head for lunch though....
