Read k.a.m s breakdown if his recent testing and decided to post my own from last weekend. I need to take more pictures of my cooks and competitions. Actually thinking of having a guy in charge of picture taking, that way my posts can be more of a step by step. But here goes anyway...
I Am cooking in a comp in about a month and need to get my hands wrapped around my flavors. This weekend was ribs. Until I can get a good recipe for my own rub (still working on it) I picked 3 rubs and did a little taste test with the family. I have locked in on one sauce at the moment and used it with all 3 rubs. Smoked with pecan and hickory in the Shirley cooking somewhere in the 250 range. (also need the time to get my hands wrapped around the offset cooker)
I spritzed and wrapped all 3 equally and I have to say they were all pretty good.
#1 Infidel - 0 out of 7 votes. Basic rub, nothing special
#2 Oakridge - 4 out of 7 votes. I thought this was the one, it has Cinnamon, Chilis and other interesting flavors that kind of set it apart. But a good point was brought up, those flavors really ruined the ribs of you don't like those flavors. My wife said it was the only thing she could taste.
#3 Sweet rub mine - 3 votes. Solid rub that was very close to#2 but with less drastic flavors. I decided this is the rub. I am going to up the salt and add a little spice. Should be a heck of a rub.
Just thought I would share.
BTW,I am LOVING the BBQ real estate with this pit!!!

Thanks boys, I'm having a blast with the Shirley. Going to fire up a long cook very soon and I'm pretty excited about it.
Kam quick question, in your brisket turn in boxes do you do true burnt ends (cubed and cooked in sauce)? To date on only done cubed point for comps, just curious.
