Get Your Grill On

With Superbowl parties around the corner, here is a rub that will help all that beer go down even quicker… Buffalo wings have nothing on a great Jamaican Jerk wing! This rub will get you there. You can make them HOT – or just spicy. Either way, nothing goes better with beer and football. This […]

Rub of the Week #7
Here’s a rub that makes you double take - use it on beef?!? No tweaks here, I use this one as directed. This is Jake Klein’s Coffee-Cardamom brisket rub straight out of the Barbeque Bible! I have never tried it on competition meat, but do like it at home […]

Leftover Pork Pozole

I mentioned several uses for the Sazón a couple weeks ago during my “rub of the week” post. As requested, I’m sharing my Pozole recipe. I smoked a pork loin and some fatties over the last weekend, and decided that south of the border flair was required since I already had plans […]

Ok folks, we are heading into the 6th week of rubs. We’ve had hot, sweet, a little Cuban flair… Lots of talk around roasts, turkeys, etc. Now that the big holiday family festivities are over, we can put away the briskets and butts for feeding the masses and break out that cry-o-vac of […]

Rub of the Week #5 — Some like it hot…
So if you don’t, I’d say – leave out the pepper. If you did that, however, you wouldn’t have much left in this rub. This rub has 8 peppers in it. It is not for the light of heart. Having said that… I like it on […]

I’m sure by now most of your friends, family, and co-workers probably know about your obsession with BBQ, and mastering the flame.
If you have children ( and if they’re like mine) they want to “be like daddy”, “ba-b-coo toooooo”, or - maybe they have some other way to work themselves into what you […]

Hopefully by now you’ve had a chance to experiment with some of the rubs and get your own mojo workin!
This week is back to the basics. This is one of those rubs that you can start with as a base and then branch it out into many others for specific needs. This is what I […]

OK folks, here in Kansas we are getting over our first cold snap, 12” of snow, and getting ready to head into a 17 degree morning tomorrow.
As winter sets in, I like nothing better than a great big bowl of soup. One of my favorites is a simple pozole. Tender pork, hominy, oregano, chiles…. […]

Welcome to Rub of the Week #2!
I figure after a Thanksgiving weekend, you might be ready for some beef. The turkeys, and the occasional ham were great… BUT, why not break the monotony of the leftovers with a KC Strip, a ribeye, or even good old top sirloin is fine.
This rub started out life as […]

Welcome to the Rub of the Week.
Every Friday, Andy Groneman will be composing a new spice rub to heighten your culinary experience.

One of the most important aspects to my outdoor cooking adventures is the seasoning. I am constantly trying to find the right flavors to really enhance my meat: Savory, spicy, sweet, heat […]
