Try it you'll like it

Bill, thanks for the info on the Chipotle Cherry rub. I'm going to try the Pecan on some baby backs this weekend.

Dale, The pecan rub definitely passes the finger test. The sweet hits you as soon as you taste it then the warm pepper flavor hits you on the back end. I'm a little concerned with it possibly clumping up because it seems to have a lot of sugar in it. I like the taste of it by itself and think it will taste great on some baby backs.

Yea sugar is listed first and third in the ingredients so clumping is certainly a possibility. I have to shake mine a bit before using it. But, in my case anyway, its just not going to stay in the bottle long enough for clumping to be a problem. I was putting it on popcorn earlier! It was delicious. I'm really looking forward to your taste test on those baby backs you mentioned. Keep on smokin!
 
Ok Dale here goes:
I use 1 can of beans but you can do two, I normally use the bush's grillin beans the steakhouse recipe or the smokehouse recipe. To that add 2 tbls pecan or cherry rub (John Henry's), 2 tbls favorite BBQ sauce, 2 tbls Paces med. salsa or what you have on hand, 1 or 2* t garlic powder, 1 or 2* t onion powder, stir it up. Cook at 250 degrees in kitchen oven about 2 hours or smoke in the smoker for about 4 hours pull it out. When the brisket is finished take 3 or 4 slices and dice them up and add to the beans. Or can cook 4 slices of thick bacon just until they start to brown. Take out of the grease pat dry cut in small pieces about 1 or 2 inches long and dot the top of the beans. Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings to your taste.. I got this from my cousin he puts in smoked pork tenderloin that he chops up. Any smoked meat will do.
*Use 1 if using one can of beans and 2 if using two cans of beans
 
Thanks Bill! I'll be using your recipe in the very near future, I'll bet there won't be any leftovers. Keep smokin!
 
I'm a little late getting back to this thread but I've been busy at work. I smoked 3 racks of baby backs on Fathers Day and used John Henry's Pecan Rub. The ribs turned out great and everybody loved them but I was disappointed with the Pecan Rub. It tasted great by itself and the ribs were good but it was not what I was expecting from the rub. Everyone has their own tastes and opinions and I'm glad I tried it but I probably won't use it again. My next rub to try is going to be one Bill has suggested from Oakridge BBQ. I just received some Secret Weapon for pork and chicken today.

Would be interested in what you think about the secret weapon.

Bill, I've seen you post that you like the Oakridge BBQ rubs. Is the Secret Weapon one that you have tried? Also, what is your favorite?
 
Sorry but have not tried the Oakridge rubs. I don't remember posting about them. The ones I do remember commenting on was: Gates original rub, Famous Dave's rib rub, John Henry's Pecan rub and John Henry's Wild Cherry Chipotle rub and the Original Texas BBQ rub. I did look up the Oakridge BBQ site and is in Kearney Mo. which is close to Kansas City. I might be mistaken and that is highly possible as the brain isn't what it used to be. Sorry

Bill, you are correct it is my mistake. It was John from PA that posted about Oakridge rubs. My apologies.

Hey Jimmy not a problem, right now I have ribs in the fridge, getting happy I used the cherry/chipotle rub on them. Also had a really rough time removing the membrane from the back of the ribs. But, that is for dinner tomorrow night. Still let me know what you think of the secret rub
 
Bill, I am not sure when I'll get a chance to try out the Secret Weapon as I am going out of town on business over the weekend but I will definitely let you know when I do though.
 
Hey Jimmy have a safe trip. Also you ought to be getting tomatoes down your way now... Nothing beats a bacon and tomato sandwich.
