Brisket: Oakridge Black Ops or SuckleBusters SPG with 1836.

Chicken: I'm still on the hunt for a good chicken rub.

Dustin Dorsey · 12-13-2019, 02:46 PM

For Chicken, I like Kosmos Q Dirty Bird.

Don't think I really have a favorite chicken rub but for brisket it's definitly Salt Lick Dry Rub. I wouldn't use this link to buy it because it's a three pack: https://www.amazon.com/Salt-Lick-BBQ...6270007&sr=8-4

Brisket: Morton's kosher salt & Kirkland coarse ground pepper

Do it low & slow to let it build a nice bark.

Nothing better

For the past year or so I've kind of "defaulted" to something from Oakridge BBQ. And by "defaulted" I don't mean "settled", it's just that I really like their stuff and can always find something from them for exactly what I'm trying to accomplish. I guess I'd either go with SPOGOS or Black Ops for brisket and one of the pork and chicken or game bird seasonings for chicken.

Chicken: SuckleBusters Clucker Dust, Bolner's Fiesta Brand Chicken Rub

Brisket/Beef Ribs: Never used one...I always make my own.

Brisket - Oakridge Black Ops

Chicken - Loot N Booty Gold Star Chicken Rub, Big Poppa’s Money Rub, Plowboys Yardbird

mytmouz · 12-13-2019, 05:25 PM

For brisket, my go to was Big Ron's Original, or Memphis BBQ original, depending on which one I was in the mood for, both with a layer of Turbino sugar . For the chic, a local rub from Rebel Butcher, called Rebel Rub...

TravelingJ · 12-13-2019, 05:36 PM

Typically when I cook chicken, it's wings and I use Naturiffic Garlicy Lemon, but after listening to our own Mike Trump talking about Oakridge on a podcast, I'm now super curious to try his venison and wild game rub, on chicken.

thirdeye · 12-13-2019, 06:27 PM

For every manufactured rub I have tried, there are 30 I have not tried, so take that with a grain of salt...

Brisket: I usually use canning salt, cracked black pepper, roasted garlic powder, and Temper Temper (a pepper blend from Pendery's). But of the bottled rubs I have on hand, I like Rudy's Rub and Smokin' Guns Hot. I'm currently testing some Big Poppa Cash Cow, but don't have enough cooks with it to comment.

Chicken: Plowboy's Yardbird, Birds & Bones, a market re-branded rub called Olde Canadian Chicken Seasoning (It's sort of a Montreal style seasoning, but for chicken) and two of the Dizzy Pig Rubs ... Dizzy Dust, and Tsunami Spin,

SlickRockStones · 12-13-2019, 08:55 PM

For brisket I have either BPS CashCow, Double Secret Steak and or SPG. I may add a layer of TraderJoes Mushroom&Co. For chicken I have BPS Sweet Money, Adkins Western, SM Spicy Apple and Cherry. Cavender’s, Badia Complete and Cajun for different directions on grilled chicken for dishes.

kevinstaggs · 12-13-2019, 09:00 PM

My #1 choices are:
Brisket - Oakridge BlackOps
Chicken - Oakridge Secret Weapon

There are many other good rubs, no doubt... but you asked for my favs.
