the best rub

I recently purchased the recipe for Jeff's Rub and it is outstanding.  I use it on everything from pork to poultry and it really works.  I highly recommend it.

 

I use my own Big Ron's Hint of Houston on pork.  Low in sodium and has a great well balanced flavor.  For pork you need a lower sodium rub as pork has a naturally salty flavor.  Enjoy!

 

I also resently bought Jeff`s and I use it on everything...I am like you just never could find one that I liked until now.

 

I also bought Jeff's rub and sauce... smoked some ribs when I was home for T-day and the family loved it. worth every penny.

 

I use Jeff's rub also. It is very good.

 

I tried Bilbo's rub and BBQ sauce and it was great.  Even my wife liked it!

I like my rub the best, even thou a guy at my work has an awesome rub, he will not give me his secret recipe for it, so that is why I like my rub the best.

 

Jeff's is great and you can tweak it to your liking if you want.

 

I hardly ever make the same rub twice! Jeff's rub is a very good base, and then you can customize it from there. Start with Jeff's, then try tweaking something the next time, and you'll be off and running!  I'm always adjusting for my mood, who I'm cooking for, a certain flavor or heat level, or what happens to be in the cupboard.   Alton Brown's rub is a good start, too.  I tend to use a bit less sugar, and more spices than a lot of folks,  I use middle eastern spices frequently, and your local Mexican/Latin grocery is the best for a great variety of chile powders and other spices. Plus, they can have some great meat options, if they're also a carniceria.  Cheers!

I'm with ,most of the folks here and say Jeff's Rub in one of the best and worth every pennies that we all have paid for it. Then you can look in the wiki section here and find a couple mire good ones to use. Or just start playing with spices that you like and try mixing them together. You never know.

 

I use Cookies All Purpose Seasoning on everything except ribs.  Love it and people always ask about it cuz they like it so much.

 

I too have used Jeff's rub.  It's ok, but always left me wanting more spice.  So as the others have said, it starts as a good base.

I've tried several others but I also recently used Chris Lilly's rub and injection posted above by Reichl for pork and look forward to using it again this weekend.

Wanting to give some of the Plowboys rubs' a try soon.

 

Thus far what I like best for pork is a mixture of Trim Tabb's Pig Powder with Blues Hog Dry Rub Seasoning to bump up the heat. If you haven't tried either one of them, Trim's is sweet with a subtle tang whereas Blue's has a bit more kick much less a sweetness and a touch of bitter.

Anything from John Henry's is good at least all the one's I've tried. They've got a real good Pecan version that's probably my favorite of theirs.  I use Obie-Cue's  Big Bull's Texas Brisket Rub and The Slabs Wow Up Your Cow for brisket.  Plowboys BBQ Yardbird Rub and The Slabs Birds & Bones Stephy Style Rub, for chicken. Happy "Holla" Bar-BQ Seasoning & Dry Rub is good all around rub.

I enjoy making my own seasoning combinations that way too for grilling, rib roasts and things like that.

 

I like Ted Reader's "Bone Dust" http://www.food.com/recipe/bone-dust-bbq-rub-50639
