Texas BBQ Rub

[Bossmanbbq]

Any Brothers or Sisters here ever try Texas BBQ Brisket Rub #2? (www.texasbbqrub.com) Just trying to get an idea if its good, I'm thinking of purchasing some, just wanted to see if its as good as I have heard. Thanks in advance.

Yes, I've used the regular (pork) and the #2 (brisket). Both are very tasty. Less sugar and more pepper in the brisket version. He does a good job.

Yes, I use it all the time. I have never tried the Wild blend, but use the other two almost exclusive for pork and brisket.

I Like it.

 

[Papa Tom]

Yes and I recommend it. Many say the wild is better although I haven't tried it myself.

Bossman get the wild you won't be sorry, the #2 blend is a little to hot for most but still good. DO any of you guy's remember if bill had any special in his newsletter about shipping or anything?? I don't have mine any more or I would check for BOSSMAN

 

[bowhnter]

Bossman, check your email, I just frwd the latest newsletter.

I recommend it as well. I have been buying both regular and #2 for about 2 years now as my standard rub. You can not go wrong.

I tried it last year... I think they do a better job of marketing their product to be better than what it actually is.

Bought 4 bags of the Brisket Blend... Ended up giving three of them away to the local Brethren... I got a very pasty texture on the briskets I did with it compared to others and when I used the regular blend on ribs, I found it uncomplementary.

Overall it was not bad, but I would not re-order and think there are better products out there to experiment with.

I don't use a lot of commercial rubs, but Texas BBQ Rubs are one of the very few commercial rubs, that I've used, that I can reccomend. Most others are so loaded with salt that it ain't funny.... TXBBQRUB is good stuff.

[damfrank]

I tryed alot of rubs think that it was one of the better ones my 2 cents

I have used Wild on the last several cooks I have done. I love the smell of that stuff. I think I perfer #1 over #2 and Wild. I have had similar issues with the rub being to soft and not really forming a bark.

I blamed it on just trying to pile to much of it on the meat. My opinion is that Texas BBQ Rub works best on meat that is not foiled during the cook.

What is Wild? I couldn't find a description on the site.

 

[Papa Tom]

Wild was developed for use on wild game and was to be named wild game rub but the all pro judging crew felt that it was really good on anything. So they changed the name to just wild and it has been very well accepted.

Been using it for years

When Bill let us try the new rub at Q-Fest last November we were standing around talking about it and we asked what he was going to call it. He said "Texas Wild Game Rub" I told him why don't you just call it "Texas Wild" I few others standing around agreed it was a good name so he said OK "Texas Wild". That's the rest of the story. It's real good too. Less heat than the original and I think it's the best rub he makes for competition. He has another that some folks can get that's real good too that is basically the Original with less Black Pepper and less Cayenne. He doesn't sell it though. You can cut the original with more brown sugar to get close.

Thanks for the imput, I'll be placing an order tonight. I'll try the original and give the #2 a try as well. Signed up for there newsletter as well. Thanks for the info.

 

[Westexbbq]

Sorry I am late in posting but I am glad to hear you are trying it out, Bossman.
I have used the original for a long time and am just now running out of my last batch of #2.
I favor this for my briskets and have always enjoyed dealing with Bill et al and the occasional newsletter.
Enjoy, let us know what you think.

I had ordered some original and like it very much on ribs. Its the only rub I can enjoy right out of the bag without putting it on meat. Whats that say about it? I guess it could reflect the amount of sugar in it. Good stuff.
