Flavor & cooking character
Maple-sweet, smoky and moderately hot with chipotle, garlic, onion and pepper.
Maple sweetness and chipotle smoke work best when the cooking surface does not scorch the sugars. Use a light coating for roasting, then add brightness with apple, vinegar or citrus at serving. Avoid stacking a very sweet barbecue sauce on top before tasting.
What to cook
Pork, chicken, salmon, sweet potatoes, squash, tofu, mushrooms and roasted nuts.
How much to use & when to add it
Start with 4-6 g per pound of raw meat. Chipotle brings noticeable heat as well as smoke. Weighing is more consistent than spoon measures because grind and density vary. Keep seasoned raw meat refrigerated, reduce the rub on pre-salted meat, and account for salty sauces. For vegetables and everyday cooking, begin with 1 teaspoon per pound and adjust after tasting.
Use indirect heat for sweet rubs and add sugary glazes late. These are starting amounts; your meat, cooking method and taste determine the final seasoning.
Kitchen recipe: pulled pork
For a 4 lb pork shoulder, start with 20 g Adirondack Maple Chipotle Smoke Rub. Pat dry, season evenly and refrigerate for 2-12 hours if time allows. Cook with indirect heat at 250-275°F until the bark is set, then cover or wrap with a small splash of water. Continue until a probe slides in easily, commonly around 195-205°F. Plan roughly 6-9 hours, but judge tenderness rather than the clock. Rest covered for 30-60 minutes, shred and mix with defatted cooking juices. Add cider vinegar a teaspoon at a time after tasting.
