B Extreme BBQ Rubs
If you've been to an SCA event lately (well, before Covid-19 threw a monkey wrench in most cooking competi- tions) then you've cer- tainly heard of B Extreme BBQ Rubs. After hearing their names from multiple teams getting top 10 calls I was definitely intrigued. My good friends at the Barbecue News Magazine were gracious enough to allow me the opportu- nity to try them out. I decided that I would try the Grilling Dust first and leave the forebodingly named Devil Dust for last. The Grilling Dust paired extremely well with everything I tried it on
and quickly became a favorite. The next rub was Cajun Dust and my love for most, if not all types of Cajun food had me anxious to test it out. I once again found multiple uses for the Cajun Dust, from seafood to pork loin it definitely stepped up the flavors, and when paired with the Grilling Dust made some outstanding food. What else could be next but the Steak Dust, the rub that introduced me to the B Ex- treme lineup. Applied to rib eye first then N.Y. strip it is easy to see why so many SCA competitors are winning with it. I had to turn to the company website and Facebook page to get some ideas on the Stampede Dust and soon found from my own personal experience and recommendations that it took vegetables on the grill to a whole other level of taste. I tried
the Texas Dust on more tradi- tional BBQ of ribs and pulled pork. The sweet- ness fol- lowed by just a slight kick would surely please
the palates of even the most seasoned and strictest BBQ judges as well as the demanding taste buds of those you re- ally enjoy cooking for be it family or friends or even cus- tomers. Last up I readied myself for the Devil Dust. With a name as daunting as that I expected to burn out my sense of taste with the first dusting. I was,however, pleasantly surprised, and while the heat was definitely there it did not overwhelm the flavors. After a glimpse of the website, I had to try a featured recipe which included a combination of three rubs. The chicken spaghetti recipe is a definite win- ner and will be added to the rotation of home cooked meals. The B Extreme team also produces a sauce and while I didn't get a chance to try it, I am sure that it is as good as the rubs, after all, it did take first and second place for beef and pork in this publication's yearly sauce contest. So when you hear, “Trust the Dust” be it from a world champion steak cook or any other pit master across the country you can definitely take that recommendation to the bank.
