Dry rub, what is your best choice

[weldude]

Hello everyone, Question for all of you. I have been using Head country dry rub for years and just love it. What are some other good rubs to try ? Mainly on pork ribs

 

[aquablue22]

Big Brother Smoke, Steph, ( a member here) makes Simply Marvelous in several different flavors. They my favorite over the counter. I also make one I'm partial to.

I'm the only one here that I know of that uses this.

Back to the Basiks. Their Key West Citrus is definitely a winner for fish.

And the others are all good. I see that she has added some new ones too.:clap2:

Durwyn,

That's a HUGE question. A lot of us have cabinets full of rubs and there are a lot of great ones available locally. You might run out to Bass Pro and see what they have. Todd (Plowboy) has his Yardbird and Bovine Bold out there, and if you go clear across town to one of the Beef Jerky Emporiums you can find a BUNCH more rubs to try. We like John Henry's stuff on pork, but that's just one example.

I really enjoy Texas BBQ Rub "Texas Wild" on ribs. The original is great too if I want things a bit more spicy. When I use the Wild I often sift out the larger chunks of onion flake for a smoother appearance, but that's just me. www.texasbbqrub.com

For some, it seems the talk of commercial rubs can get as controversial as religion or politics as people's tastes seem to vary as much as anything else. However, mainly for ribs and without mods, I would tend to lean towards The Slabs Kyle Style or Plowboys Bovine Bold. I have a hard time differentiating those two rubs and it gives a little something that is subtle but different.

For ribs I really like Plowboys rubs but there's lots of rubs out there to try yet. I also like a simple rub of salt, pepper and granulated garlic on everything.

Plowboy's Yardbird has been a great chicken, rib and butt rub for me for a few years now, I worked myself dow to it a couple years back after sampling a whole bunch of things and working down to some favs. I also like Smokin' Guns Hot for Burnt Ends (I use my own layered type rubs/seasonings for the brisket).

I have recently begun stocking up on more rubs to compare again, you know, to keep up with the times and all, so my faves could change before too long after all the comparisons.

I use my own rubs a lot because I'm getting very happy with them (except the burnt ends always get the Smokin' Guns), but I really do always have Plowboys Yardbird on hand and use it a lot which says a lot about how good it is.

Plowboys and Dizzy Pig rubs are my most used.

 

[Hotrodhog]

Gotta say, there is just something about that Yardbird Rub that I love, my drum has never smelled better either!

I also use bad Byrons Butt Rub, I really like that on my pork.

I've been experimenting with comercial and homemade rubs quite a bit but up till now keep coming back to the Plowboys Yardbird Rub.

[Southern Home Boy]

I make my own:
1T Sea Salt
1T Granulated Garlic
2t Smoked Black Pepper
.5T Granulated Onion
.5T Chipotle Powder
.5T Ancho Chili Powder
.5T Dark Brown Sugar
.5T Smoked Hot Paprika
1t Cayenne
1t Turmeric
.5t Ground Cloves

This makes enough for a brisket and a butt or a butt and a couple slabs of ribs or a couple of chickens and some grilled veggies... you get the idea.

Im another yardbird fan

gotta say dizzy pig and ployboys are my favorite. i also i have one i use for comps, recipe is below :tape:

There are so many great rubs out there that are worth trying. I like Plowboys, Simply Marvelous's, and Spicewine's in particular. I am constantly testing different ones in an effort to improve my product. My wife says I have a problem since I keep buying more rubs since I already have a cabinet full...

A few of our brothers here have an online bbq supply store which offer the above rubs as well as several others.

Thanks for all the great info !!! Makes my mouth water sittin here

My local purveyor always has 7-10 rubs opened and available to taste. Stopped in today and tried 5-6. If you can find a place to do that you'll quickly find what you like. I like to always compare my favs back to back with new ones. In my short time doing this I keep liking the Dizzy Pig and Plowboys. I did however get some Rufus Teague tonight to try.

I generally make my own rubs too. Recipe changes every time. I'm never disappointed, it always seems to turn out great!
