I will probably get a different response from everybody who replies, but here it goes. What are everybody's opinions on store bought bbq sauces and rubs, mainly for ribs? When I have time I like to make my own, and always have some rub available, but I want to know what everybody else is using. I have heard good things about head country so I might give it a try. Thanks!
 
I like Blues Hog for the sauce. I use several rubs most of them store bought. I do make Best Ribs in the Universe rub off of TVWB website and like it.
 
We use commercial rubs and sauces. We use them even at competitions. Why reinvent the wheel? It helps us concentrate on cooking the meats as well as we can. We like Head Country and Spicewine rubs and sauces.
 
Store bought

I like Head country rub and sauce I have a case on hand all the time, but like anybody I doctor the rub to fit my need at hand, also recently I've been using spicewine signiture spice and its damn good, I'll be ordering a case in the near future..
 
I am a fan of Blues Hog and also like Slabs. Both with a little doctering as well.
 
I just recently tried River City Smokes sauce & rub, and liked it a lot! It tasted good on all meats.
 
If you are looking for a great chicken rub that goes good on other stuff as well check out Plowboy's Yardbird Rub.
 
Been using Pappy's. Like it. Tried Williams RibTickler and got a lot of compliments. Havn't tried Spicewine on Ribs but have used it on other things and it is great.
 
Gordon's grub rub, Head Country and McClarn's are the ones I've been trying lately. I love the grub rub but it is messy, Head Country is good and my wife likes the McClarn's really well.

I haven't used the grub rub, but have wanted to try it. What's messy about it?

It's got so much brown sugar in it, that it liquifies after it sits on the meat and runs all over everything. Stills tastes great but it gets all over everything if your not careful.
 
Thanks for the tips, I am going to give spicewine and head country a try. As for sauce, I usually use KC Masterpiece and if I am going to use it as a glaze I will add honey and reduce it. It will be nice to give these other rubs and sauces a try.
 
Prodano, I see you moved.
I make my own rubs, but have always wanted to try some of the commercial brands listed here (Head Country and Spicewine).
As far as sauce goes, I like mine with just a touch of heat. Famous Daves Chipotle is exactly how I like my sauce, so why try and duplicate it? When I buy sauce that's the one. I do make my own glaze/sauce for chicken though.
 
Yeah I may live in Iowa now but I am a Packer and Badger fan for life! The type of sauce I like really depends on the day. Sometimes I like a sauce on the sweet side, other times I like it hot and spicy. I have tried famous dave's rich and sassy and liked it, but have not tried the chipotle. I may need to have a day of bbq and try several sauces. Sounds like a good day to me!
 
For a twist... if you had to... what would you use from the normal grocery store. In a pinch, I've found that simmering Sweet Baby Ray's with a bit of honey with some onion works pretty damn good.
