I'm having some roasted red potatoes with it covered in the same seasoning.

**pgg** · 03-04-13, 10:33 PM

The real question is though.....

Should I have root beer or cream soda with this meal????

**IMGreat101** · 03-04-13, 10:52 PM

Root beer, definitely.

btw - kudos for the proper charcoal lighting technique!

**pgg** · 03-04-13, 10:55 PM

I do it the proper way because Wolven doesn't allow me to play with lighter fluid anymore

All it takes is a few minutes on the grill for each side. Gets perfectly cooked. Warm and red on the inside without being shoe leather on the outside.

With the tators

And desert to finish up

The pictures are great but how did it taste and how does it compare to the other rub

**pgg** · 03-05-13, 12:59 AM

I think I like this one the best. A little hotter so to speak. I like spicy foods so it fills that void. The other ones were good also. One thing I like is they each enhance the flavor of the steak with our over powering it. Some rubs/marinades completely take over the flavor.

First off I need to grind some beef. Bottom round was on sale for $2.49/lb

Backdraft Jalapeno Poppers!

Peppers - My homegrown jalapenos

3/4 cup cream cheese
1 Tbsp Backdraft Rub

Stuffed and breaded. These are set aside while the breading sets up.

Fried and ready to stuff in the loaf.

Had to try a few for quality! yummm...

**pgg** · 03-05-13, 09:07 PM

Dammit. Now I'm hungry again

**Reca** · 03-06-13, 01:06 AM

I had to work today so I cheated and bought a rotisserie chicken already cooked. I again tried all 3 spices on the chicken I think I have decided that the 50 rub and the fireman rub are the best two.

I wanted a late night snack so I popped a bag of popcorn I put popcorn in 3 brown paper bags and sprinkled the 3 different spices on the popcorn. Again all 3 were freaking fantastic I specially like the 50 Rob on the popcorn

Time to weave some bacon!

I used 1 lb. John Morell thick sliced bacon

I placed two sheets of saran wrap first. This will assist in rolling up the loaf.

After making the bacon weave, season with Backdraft Rub. Spread meatloaf on top of bacon evenly and top with Backdraft Poppers.

Roll this up and tuck in the ends.

Season the entire outside with Backdraft Rub.

I placed aluminum foil on a small baking rack and cut holes in it for the grease to drain off.

**IMGreat101** · 03-06-13, 08:45 AM

Ready to grill!

I used cherry wood for this.

You should have been here to smell this smoke. Backdraft, bacon and cherry wood... yummm.
