Tasty BBQ rubs and seasonings and Cindy Lou’s steak it rub recipes: When the turkey is finished brining (see brine recipe), rinse well with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place the turkey on a baking sheet to catch the mess. Pour the maple syrup covering the entire exterior of the bird. Next sprinkle Cindy Lou’s Veggie Delight Dry Rub all over the bird. For maximum flavor, work your hands down under the skin of the turkey to get some maple syrup and rub it in. When done sprinkle a light dusting of Cindy Lou’s Voodoo Dry Rub for that extra POP. Stuff the cavity with quartered yellow onions. At this point the turkey is ready to go in the smoker. You can use practically any smoker (even the grill) to cook your Thanksgiving turkey as long as you can maintain a range between about 220° – 250°F using indirect heat. Preheat the smoker/grill and once it is maintaining about 240°F, you are ready to smoke! Place your smoking wood of choice onto the coals. Place the turkey directly on the grate breast side up, or if you want to keep the smoker a little cleaner, you can leave the turkey on the baking sheet. If you are using a smoker that has multiple levels, you can place the bird on a rack to make it easy to transport it to the smoker and then back into the house once it’s finished. We recommend you place a pan on a lower rack to catch the syrup and turkey juices, as they will burn once they hit the diverter plate.

Grilling a Tri-Tip is pretty simple. The one thing you really have to worry about is flare-ups. Tri-Tips have a wonderful layer of fat (remember – fat is flavor!) that can melt off of the steak and onto your coals causing flare-ups, which will ultimately burn your steak. The rest is easy. Prepare your grill for hot direct heat on one side, and indirect heat on the other using split diverter plate. Sear the roast on all sides, 3-4 minutes per side over direct heat. Carefully watch the roast during this process as one side of the roast is typically quite fatty and as the fat heats up it can drip down and cause flare-ups. Keep moving the tri-tip away from the flame if flare-ups occur. Once the tri-tip is seared on all sides, move it away from direct heat and place it fat-side up on the grill rack over the diverter plate. Try to maintain a grill temperature of 250°F to 300°F.

Brisket Directions: Rinse the brisket with cold water then pat it dry with paper towels. Pour a small amount olive oil over the brisket and gently spread it around. Using a fair amount of Cindy Lou’s Black Label, massage it into the brisket. Repeat this until the whole brisket is generously seasoned. Cover or wrap for 2 – 4 hours (overnight is best). Never let meat stay at room temperature for more than 1 hour. When ready to cook, place drip pan under the grill rack. Fill drip pan with 1 part Beer to 1 part apple juice. Heat grill to 225° putting the room temperature brisket on the grill. In a medium skillet place cube of butter and 2 tablespoons of Cindy Lou’s Black Label, when melted add the onions and “sweat” them until soft and translucent. Take the onions out and set aside. Add to the butter mixture, one bottle BBQ sauce, ¼ cup apple juice and one cup of Beef Stock. Mix well.
