I took a 5lb chuck roast, and divided it into 4 sections.
3 sections were rubbed with 3 variations of 1 rub the fourth I went Jamaican
The rubs:
"Salt lick clone"
3 parts Kosher Salt
3 Parts Black Pepper
1 part granulated garlic
1 part cayenne pepper
1 section got the base rub
Variant 1 adds 1 part coffee
Variant 2 adds 1 part cocoa
The fourth got a heavy dose of jerk rub
Rubbed and ready
On the 2 star with BD Hickory
When after 1 hour smoke and 5 hours @225F it was time for some foil love
Onions and a splash of cabernet sauvignon.
The Jamaican one got a splash of tequila!
4 hours later, IT ~208F
The family taste test panel really liked the Jamaican and the coffee variant. Next time I will back off on the cayenne a litte and add more coffee or cocoa.
The Jamaican was an amazing flavor profile. Between the jerk, onions and tequila it was really good.
The coffee variant was really good as well, you can't really taste the coffee as such, but is was definitely different from the others in a good way.
