GET SPUN! With Dizzy Pig Sices/Rub!

Dizzy Pig BBQ began selling their all natural, hand blended spice rubs 9 years ago to BBQers enthuiast. They currently have eleven unique blends ranging from convential all purpose BBQ rubs to exotic combinations with Asian and Caribbean inspired spices. Dizzy Pig BBQ spices are used by competition BBQ teams and restaurants, but are also available for retail sale to the public.


The best thing about there spices is that its Gluten free and MSG free. The arome you get when you open your bottle is amazing! I have been using there spices/rub for about four years and love it! They are definatelly my favorite! The flavour you get from them is amazing!!!!!


Info bellow is from there website!

Why is Dizzy Pig better?

First thing you notice when you open a jar of Dizzy Pig rub is the fresh aroma. The whole spices and herbs we use are purchased in small quantities to assure freshness, and ground just before bottling. Our recipes are exciting and all of the rubs have their own unique flavor. Not the same rub with slightly different twist, but totally different concoctions so you can find your favorites for each meal.

In addition to fresh ingredients and awesome recipes, Dizzy Pig rubs use superior all natural ingredients and no additives. Gluten-free and No MSG. No anti caking agents. Instead of highly processed white and brown sugars which can burn and become bitter, we use only raw unprocessed "turbinado" sugar. It has a better flavor and a higher burning point. Yep, it's more expensive, but we feel it is worth it. Only coarse flake kosher salt is used in Dizzy Pig rubs. No iodine, and the flakes have a larger surface area to help build a luscious crust.'

Grillgrates another perfect gift for the Backyard BBQers!

I have been using grillgrates for about a month now and let me tell you I am very impress with them! The fish doesn't stick and the extra flavour and juicyness you get from your meat is unbeleavable!

Unlike other drop-on-the-top grates that are made to use for vegetables, fish and other small or fragile foods, the Grill Grate is designed to catch the escaping juices, and have them sizzle below your food, not cause flare-ups that can dry out your meats. Holes allow the fat to drain out, and you don't have to worry about marinades, sauces or rubs causing fires. Further more it delivers those perfect grill marks you're always looking for.

Specs:

Panel are made of aircraft grade aluminum, that is anodized to make it harder than stainless steel, easy to clean, and completely rustproof. and it'll handle temps over 1000 degrees. They come in different sizes and shapes to fit any grill!

Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloins

Glaze:

1 cup light brown sugar, packed

2 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

Direction:

1.      Cover your Pork Tenderloin with your favourite rub. I used The Red Eye Express from Dizzy Pigs Spices.

2.      Now Inject each tenderloin with some pure maple syrup.

3.      The next step is to wrap your tenderloin with some bacon and sprinkle some Pepper Blend from Cattle Boyz on them.

  .      Pre-heat your BBQ to 220° F. Once the desired temperature is reached set it up for semi indirect cooking. I configured my Big Green Egg with the drip tray with some apple juice in the lower rack and placed my Bacon wrapped pork tenderloin on the top rack above the drip pan. The rack I used is the large adjustable rig from the Ceramic Grilling Store.

5.      Now cook at 220° F for about one to one and half hour with some apple wood on the lump charcoal for some added smoke flavour. When the internal temp reaches 140° F.

6.      In the meantime, combine the brown sugar, flour, cider vinegar, and dry mustard in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and simmer for about 1 minute. Spoon over the pork and increase BBQ temp to 325° F and cook for additional 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until pork registers 160° F.
