Those that only use commercial rubs may not have the knowledge of how to put together a good flavor profile so they let someone else do it for them.

Get the knowledge it is worth it and more satisfying than using someone else's rub.

I personally dont have time to make my own rubs and I would hate to disappoint my guest with a failed attempt. I stick with what works for me. I've bought a few rubs but hands down Oakridge bbq's beef and pork competition rub is my favorite. I did buy some Yardbird while I was at Bass Pro Shop to try on chicken since so many of you guys recommend it.

I have done both and will continue to do both and as my skillset improves, I hope to develop more of a knack for mixing my own stuff. I don't think one must make their own in order to be a "cook" though. Like it was said earlier, there is a lot more to preparing good food than just rubbing some spices on it. Some of the best food I've cooked have only had salt, pepper and garlic... Some have just had salt and pepper.

Rubs are just ingredients in the total experience. If you don't know how to cook then it don't matter if you get rubs off a shelf that are so good they come in gold clad containers your food will still make you want to chase down a dog so you can lick his arse to get the bad taste out of your mouth.

I do concede however, that quality ingredients definitely make food better, on the other hand, if you don't know how to use said ingredients you won't get good results.

That says it for me. Still, not against trying a Commercial rub.
Also, tend to start out with cookbook recipes and tweak from there.

I 've always made my own, until I pulled the trigger on the HDD. I also ordered the sampler pack, which I haven't used yet, so depending on how it goes, I might be making less of my own in the future.

Just because you make your own rubs does not mean you truly understand how to properly pair spices to create an optimal blend. Sure you can throw some common ingredients together which may taste fine but there is MUCH more to creating a top-notch rub than that. We commercial guys work with chemists and food scientists to hand select specific ingredients to produce a product you are not capable of doing in your kitchen.

I have heard great stuff about your products.
That being said.

I am striving to reduce the amount of processed foods I eat.

IE: Raw sugar vs white (processed) sugar

So the terms "chemist" and "food scientist" do nothing to make me want to try a commercial rub.

Neither do any of the additives typically added to rubs to prevent clumping, etc (not suggesting your products have any).

I drink like a fish, eat BBQ and grilled foods regularly, so anything I can do to increase the food intake of foods that haven't seen a processor that better off I am.

Buying whole spices allows me to determine what does and does not go into my runs. While buying commercial or boutique rubs don't.

Nothing wrong with that my man! Just stating some facts. To each his own!

I have also enjoyed making rubs and sauces for my friends varying taste. One of my friends likes it sweet and mild so pepper or cayenne is not in his rub or sauce.Then there is the dreaded Low carb verision I make for myself cause I tend to blow up easily!
So here comes the confession FORGIVE ME BROTHERS AND SISTERS FOR I HAVE PURCHASED HABANERO DEATH DUST! actually two packages! I just could not resist trying the fire powder! But i have not opened it yet
There is room for everybody here. If you like buying rub good for you If you make your own I hope you enjoy that as much as I do
Send the death dust to me and all is forgiven.

Next day delivery before 10am please.

I have a 9000 square foot garden, grow my own herbs, save seeds to grow the next year and make my own rubs. Heh, I'm the only real cook here...

Just joking of course.
