My buddy's dry rub ratio backfired at a cookoff in Memphis
He told me to bump the sugar to a 2:1 against salt for bark, but it burnt black on my brisket after 8 hours. Got a 14th place out of 30 teams, and the judges said the bitter crust killed it. Anyone else had a trusted pitmaster steer them wrong on something basic?

Man, 14th out of 30 is still solid for a cookoff, and one bad rub ain't a reason to ditch your buddy. Everyone has an off batch, just tweak the sugar down next time and move on.
