I'm not sure if this has been covered before, but I'd like to know how often everyone orders BBQ supplies. By supplies I mean rubs and sauces.
I had something happen this year that I wonder about constantly. Can rubs lose their flavor over time? My chicken always had a peppery finish and I know it's because of a certain rub I use. I ordered that rub in bulk last year, then portioned them out in 1/2 cup increments in tiny zip-lock bags. I kept everything in my basement which is cool and dry. This year, I didn't change any ingredients, but lost that peppery finish. Last year I typically scored pretty well in chicken, where this year I was in the mid to bottom at just about every contest. That peppery finish is the only thing that I can put my finger on.
