Our Very Own Barbecue Pork Rub
A good friend of mine is an expert in the art of barbecue and has spent many years perfecting his recipes. We all like our own unique spin on rubs, or at least we should.
Here is that spin I’ve put on my dry rub. It’s the same recipe that I use whenever I smoke a pork shoulder. It can also be used on a pork tenderloin or even rib meat.
When making this recipe, I typically quadruple the amounts, measure each individual ingredient separately, and then mix them all together. Then I add about a quarter-cup of dark brown sugar. That gives it the right amount of sweet.
Next, I add a dash of salt and pepper. Lastly, I add a little bit of cayenne to give it that spicy kick.
Dry Rib Rub (With a Couple of Secret Ingredients from an Experienced Pitmaster)
Most rubs for pulled pork and ribs contain salt, sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, freshly ground black pepper, and curry powder. Some contain a lot of chili powder, which can have too much of a dominant flavor and unless you’re from the south, it can be hard to find. In my dry rib rub I used a bit of the sweet, spicy, and savory combo that I see in many rib rubs but I also added a couple secret ingredients from an experienced pitmaster.
Here is the recipe:
- Alton Brown’s Southern BBQ Dry Rub
- 1 cup kosher salt
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sweet Hungarian paprika (I couldn’t find this, so I used regular paprika)
- 1/4 cup cayenne pepper (I didn’t have this)
- 1/4 cup freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground thyme
- 2 teaspoons ground sage (I couldn’t find this)
- 2 teaspoons ground marjoram
- 2 teaspoons ground oregano
- 2 teaspoons ground celery seed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder (I didn’t have this)

Pit Boss 5 Series Vertical Pellet Smoker Review
REVIEWED BY: CAMP CHEF
I RECOMMEND TO: EVERYONE
USES: CAMPING, CAMPFIRE ROASTING
The Pit Boss 5 Series Vertical Pellet Smoker is a great outdoor item to have around. As a grill it’s a beast, using 1 lb pellets that burn for about 6 hours giving you enough fuel for a good night’s cooking and feeding. Unlike some of the other vertical BBQ smokers out there, the Pit Boss 5 Series is designed to be completely portable. The large wheels allow easy movement and the special tie-down system in the back of the cart make this smoker super stable during use.
The uniqueness of Pit Boss 5 Series is the fact that it’s designed to be used in two ways. It can either be set up vertically in a trailer hitch like a trailer above, or it can be used as a traditional horizontal smoker like a horizontal smoker.
Let’s take a look at what you get in the box.
