looking for a good rub

[aquablue22]

Simply Marvelous has become my go to stuff, Steph makes some of the best rubs I've ever used. His flavor are not centered around the standard Bar B Que type flavors, but more like sweet, spicy, deep flavors you really wouldn't expect. I use all of his rubs on everything. We really like his Cherry on Popcorn! Get some you'll like it!

I buy 10 lb or 5 lb packages and put into 32 oz Shaker Top Containers, but you have to be carefull as some rubs are almost all salt.

It's hard to find someone who prepares a rub that cares about the end product as much as you do. Most retailers are looking for the money, but not all.

american spice has an acceptable rub, but they are overpriced.

I am open for any suggestions for bulk purchases or for a recipe to try if captndan wishes to share his.

Bob, I've tried to reply to your PM, but your inbox/sentbox must be full. Please shoot me an email (mike@oakridgebbq.com) at your leisure.

Thanks.

A licensed massage therapist will be at my house in an hour. that is the best rub I have found out there. Home made is always a good option when you want to play with ingredients.

Hope you try it. Enjoy.

That looks like a recipe worth trying, but dog, with that much paprika, do you have a special type/brand you prefer?

I highly recommend Kosmo's Q, Oakridge BBQ's Secret Weapon,
and Draper's AP rub.

Oh, and here's my all-purpose rub recipe.

John

[El Ropo]

Kosher salt, fresh ground 4 color peppercorns, granulated garlic.

Then add whatever you feel like after that, it'll always be a great base. I go very easy on the salt BTW, just a tad.

Do they make a spice that will give the rub a cherry flavoring?

[jestridge]

Lawery seasoning been using it for years it also cheap. Use salt/pepper on beef. McCormick pork rub on ribs. Most rub have the same thing in them , some just have a fancy name

[jestridge]

Yes they do. Your point is? Wait. Let me guess. Everything has the same ingredients as Lawry's so they all must taste like Lawry's.

There are a great number of people that truly cannot tell the difference in taste and you could serve them a $100 cut of kobe porterhouse or a non-graded lower than canner grader and they would be tickled with it because they got a heck of deal.

Its a waste of time to go round and round.

The next time I am on my way to my mom's and I am driving through Sebring, I will be buying some Plowboy's rubs.

I am just now learning the difference myself so while I don't understand how someone would argue with a purveyor of all things spice, but you know there is one in every crowd.
