I have tried several commercial rubs since I got my 009 CS. My wife complains that they are all to
spicy. Can someone suggest a neutral rub recipe if such a creature exists.

Thanks for any help

salt and pepper.. with garlic or with onion powder unless she doesn't like those. Or just marinate in apple juice/vinegar

Kathy is right. Nothhing wrong with staying with the basics! Try using whatever spices your wife likes. Shoot, I imagine you coud even rub half the butt the way you like it and half with salt & pepper ar whatever she wants. Kinda like "his & hers" butts! Always good to keep the Mrs. happy

I like that his and her butts,Wheelz.
My husband loves smoked bologna.I bought a 3 lb bologna a teh grocery store.Can i just throw tit in the smoker with the but that is in there? Shoudl I wait until I am done with the butt and put the bologna in the hot smoker?

O.M.G. Did I really send that message without checking for spelling errors? I am so sorry. I was typing too quickly.The Outdoor Living Show comes on in less than 10 minutes.Someone wanted ti taped but I don't have any bank tapes.

I give up

Thanks Kathye and Wheelz I will try both, And if those do not work its on to his and hers.

Kathy,

You can edit your own posts so you don't have to repost each time. Just click on the image that looks like a notepad with pencil.

Fish,

I'm not sure what a "neutral" rub is. You'll just have to experiment with rubs. Look at the ingredients and the colors and eliminate the flavors you don't like. Stay away from the spicey ingredients and use less rub.

Oh, is it this Post a Reply place?

Nope. It's at the top of your post next to the quotation marks.

I think I understand. Kind of. This seems to be working

There are so many rub recipes on the Web or in cookbooks. Find one that you like and reduce or omit the cayenne pepper.

If you're looking for recipe suggestions, you can search the archives and find plenty. I've never bought a store-bought rub and I don't ever intend to.

I use this, it's not spicy, but adds flavor!! My wife and kids also do not like their BBQ spicy.
