Rub === Use "rub" program to calculate amounts (uses the most current recipe) someday, finish the (CGI?) page with amounts per type of meat, etc. 17-May-2026, St. Louis spare ribs for Opal's studio birthday party ------------------------------------------------------------------ - calculated spice rub @ 150g per rack, made 500g to be safe; using the shaker lid on a mason jar means 1) a LOT less waste, and 2) a light-to-medium coating used more like 30g per rack (front only) - in the future, calculate at 50g per rack and maybe use a heavier coating; could even calculate @ 75g per rack, and consider rub on both sides - for the (Franklin) S&P rub (50/50), made 1 cup total but used almost nothing; I think I went with a MUCH lighter coating because I wanted it to be light enough for Opal - in the future, could probably calculate @ 2 Tblsp per rack (that is, 1 Tblsp salt + 1 Tblsp pepper) - also, because you get more rub in each bite, grind the pepper AND the salt until fine; grind, sift, then a second grind of what didn't make it through the sifter =========================================================================================================== =========================================================================================================== ==> OLD STUFF <== *** USE RECIPES ON THE WEB *** Per thigh --------- 1 T back only, light cover 2 T back only, medium cover 4 T front + back default should be 2 T per thigh (one batch = 4 thighs) Per brisket ----------- xT one side, medium cover xT both sides, medium cover Per rack of St. Louis spare ribs -------------------------------- # Mild (makes 10 Tblsp = 0.5+ cups) # --------------------------------- # 3 T cumin # 2 T kosher salt # 2 T white sugar # 2 T light brown sugar # 1 t chili powder # 1 t black pepper # 1 t sweet paprika # # Not Mild (makes 11- Tblsp = 0.75- cups) # --------------------------------------- # 3 T cumin # 2 T kosher salt # 2 T white sugar # 2 T dark brown sugar # 1 T sweet paprika # 1 1/2 t black pepper # 1 t chili powder
