Thanks to Pitmaster Dan Hixon for sending me some 3 Eyz Championship BBQ Rub to try.
I smoked a pork shoulder last weekend and am sure glad I tried the 3 Eyz Rub. This rub has a smooth, bold, flavor. There is a touch of heat, but just a touch. Nice, fresh even flavors throughout. Texture is spot-on.
I rub my pork the night before and wrap in Saran Wrap. I then rub a bit on before going into the smoker. Normally, I smoke at 225 until I hit 170ish, then foil til 195 or so. This day though, I ran out of charcoal (bad chef) so finished in the oven – a first for me. In site of deviating from my normal methods, this pulled pork came out great.
Awesome flavor, and some of the best “bark” I have made to date. As I mentioned in the previous post – my co-workers raved about the pork.
From their site:
3 Eyz BBQ’s first commercially-available BBQ spice rub. This mix of sweet and spicy offers a fantastic flavor boost for all of your grilling, smoking, and general cooking needs. Great on all types of meat, as well as in soups, chili, vegetables, baked potatoes, and anything else that needs a bit of a flavor kick. This spice rub took home a 1st and a 2nd place award at the Great American BBQ Contest and helped 3eyz rack up over 200 awards!
I’d definitely recommend this rub for your pulled pork – can’t wait to try it on something else! Stay tuned!!
