1/8 cup salt
1/8 cup black pepper
1/8 cup paprika 1 TBSP granulated garlic
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp Accent (MSG)
No real timing on the rub, but overnight would be sufficient.
This was ok until the MSG bit,
sorry am not in fav of this stuff as it is a food taste enhancer not a meat enhancer, i firmly belive that the cuts of meat used for low n slow have masses of flavour without enhancers, spices yes to give the meat a twist in taste, it's like using preservatives in food 'why' just to make it last longer, ok it's a pain to do bits but when something takes hours and hours to cook you need to do something else to do, i know
make fresh relish or sauses n stuff.
Sorry but i have been cooking for many years and not used MSG, try the above without it, you prob will not taste any dif.
These are just my thoughts.
