Looking for some good rub brands for my pork shoulders/butts. Any recommendations out there people like to get their hands on??
 
Welcome from SE Ga ! I like Meat Church and Kosmo's Q which can be found at a lot of Ace Hardware stores. Or if you're adventurous, there's some formulas mentioned in the forum to make yourself ! Good luck in you quest for flavor.

Welcome from SC, Ill 3rd Meat Church. Love the Holy Voodoo, if you like some cajun heat.

There are a lot folks on here that make their own. Start with equal parts of salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder aka SPOG. I like to add a bit of chipotle powder also. So if you do 2 tablespoons of each of the above, do 1 tablespoon of chipotle powder.

I bought Jeff's rub recipe when I first joined SMF and still use it quite a bit. I like that it isn't loaded down with salt like a lot of the commercially available rubs, so you can really pack it on without worrying about food turning out too salty.
 
Any of the McCormick rubs are good, the smokehouse maple is great with pork, also the Weber rubs are good, not sure I have had many bad other than a few off branded trials lol

Malcolm Reed has some nice rubs (killer hogs). The AP rub is my favorite....
I prefer to concoct my own to help cut back on the salt and sugar, but I've been known to get lackadaisical or may be out of a key ingredient(s), so I keep this in my cabinet for those days.

I second Jeff's rubs they are very good just the way they come but if you want to make something a bit different they are a great base to get started.

I purchased Jeff’s rub recipe and modified it to what me and my family like. Over the years the $10 or whatever it costed for the recipe has saved me a lot of money in purchasing pre made rubs. It’s easy to make your own. And honestly before I used a modified version of his, on my ribs I would just rub them with brown sugar. That is the base for most pork rubs
