aaaahhhhh....now we have moved from a highly volatile subject such as Texas
getting richer from you poor horseless carriage owners paying $2.50+ for gas
to the subject most dear to the heart of REAL WORLD crisis and
seriousness.....what is the best rub!!!!
Let me see, shall I make available the world champion winning rub known
throughout the world as HURT's Best Rub.....sure why not you'll never get it
right anyway as my secret is that it is never the same twice...:))
We will start of course with the meat...and of course that would be a
UN-trimmed brisket(don't touch that fat)...the prep is a two day love affair
even before this monument to the smoking gourmet even touches the seasoned
smoking rack. Two days before the smoke begins, I create my DRY rub(notice
not wet - you will never get a crunch with a wet rub). The basis of my rub
is Bolners Fiesta Fajita Salt(available on the internet from Bolner's). To
this dry rub goes fine chopped New Mexico chili peppers, fresh garlic(twice
squeezed to a paste), a couple of teaspoons of Bolners Pork Rub(has a good
amount of paprika - very good stuff) and the finish is a couple of drops
from a bottle of Chili Peguin hot sauce only found in a small specially hot
sauce and snack store on main street in Fredricksburg Texas.
The dry rub is than lovingly messaged into the fat side of the slab of meat.
Refrigerated for two days and then when the smoker is at 210 degrees, the
meat is placed fat side up at the far end of the 12 foot long smoker...for
the next 9-10 hours the temp is kept at 210 where as the fat melts it flows
like slow melting butter all down the sides and underneath the meat carrying
the rub into the small crevices of the meat....after you remove the meat and
let it cool it will have a crisp black crust and a smoke ring of about 1/4
inch that makes for the best smoked brisket one could want. Pour a little of
HURT's Special Smoked Meat Slop(nope this one will cost you - got trophies
to prove it) over the chunked slices of brisket and have a near frozen
Shiner or 6 to wash it down....
well LOVE is in the air my friend at this point...

I burn pecan in my smoker for ribs, chicken and brisket. I find that
mesquite adds an overpowering flavor. Tell us about your rubs.

Diesel is taken from the same fraction of crude as home heating oil.
Refineries, can increase the amount of gasoline produced by adjusting the
catalytic conversion and distillation, but only at the expense of the amount
of home heating/diesel that they produce.
I will be interesting to see what the cost of heating oil will be like this
winter.
All of this is from memory of some chemical engineering courses I took back
in the 70's, including one lecture given by an engineer from Shell on the
"Simplex" algorithm which they use to determine the maximum profits that
could be made for a set of given feeds producing various outputs. The
algorithm came in handy when I switched from Chemical Engineering to
computer programming in Flin Flon and inherited the maintenance of a Simplex
program to maximize the profits from the smelter by selecting different ores
from different mines as the feeds.
