It's also called sugar in the raw. Should be at any grocer near sweeteners or baking goods.

Krogers, Walmart... Most of the time it will be in a box next to the brown sugar.

Or that is were we find it at around here.

You can also use Florida crystals. It's similar to sugar in the raw.

Whats the benefits of turbinado sugar?

Sugar in the Raw is the most common brand of Turbinado sugar.

As for the benefits, Turbinado sugar comes from the first pressing of sugar cane. I still has some of the molasses flavor that is found in sugar cane. It is also considered somewhat healthier than highly processed white sugar.

In a rub, you get some of the molasses character of Brown Sugar, but in a dried sugar product. It doesn't clump up as easily as brown sugar.

For what I can tell clumping is the main thing. But if you dont want to spend the extra money for a backyard cook just use light brown sugar in it's place.

I have also read that it burns at a higher temp than regular sugar.

^^^ beat me to it. Also, For long smokes with good bark, It does not burn as easily as refined sugar.

I did a quick Google, and it appears that all the sugars start to carbonize (burn) at 350 degrees. So, for low and slow cooks, it shouldn't be an issue.

so it gives a better bark then regular table sugar

I've tried it both ways and the bark is definitely better with the turboinado IMHO.
