I like many rubs but if I would have to pick just one, I think it would be Smokin' Guns Hot.





I have used this rub for about 10 years and find that it is good on about anything I cook.

I'd like The Smoke to abstain from chiming in......he has a rub problem.

I like John Henry rubs. My family likes sweet rubs. And Savor Spices Mo Rockin chicken. It is mixed by elves living in a tree, and it contains dehydrated unicorn tears.

My lips are sealed and I have stepped away from the keyboard............................... :(

OK, maybe just one.......

one.......hundred??   I love you Pappy  :-* :-*

Sweet Lou's Roast Rub is my desert island rub....if I am stuck on a desert island, this is the one I would want..........

Roast rub is great with all meats, so is the Jamaican Jerk from Sweet Lou's.  I also got Bayou BBQ, which is pretty good but more of an old bay/bbq rub.  It goes good with chicken, pulled pork, and fish, but I really like using it with reheating left overs to change the flavor profile.  Only thing I don't like it sometime there is too much celery seed.

For Beef, I just do 4oz salt, 2 oz black pepper, 2oz granulated garlic.

Everything else, Light brown sugar, salt, pepper, granulated garlic, lawry's seasoning salt, chili powder, paprika, dry mustard, ground clove.  Mix together taste, and adjust.

There are so many great ones but if I could just have one it would be John Henry's Maple Pecan.

I like the Savor Line of rubs too. And Big Poppa's Smokers line.

I like to use slightly modified Memphis Dust on all my pork.  I really like the some of  the Weber rubs, roasted garlic, gourmet burger, and Chicago steak.   Those are the ones I use the most.

Put me down for Memphis Dust - my wife will not eat anything with red pepper or hotter.   :(

Also, love John Henry's Pecan rub - great on pork, imo.

Other than my own rub, if I had to pick just one commercially available rub, then my choice would be very close to Old Dave's:

Smokin' Guns "Sweet Heat."  I works on anything.

Oh my goodness. I am now posting here because I made the mistake and searched for "rubs".  So, thank you to everyone for posting your favorite. Likewise, damn you all for my ever growing shopping list of rubs to try :-)

As for my pantry... I have things organized by meat product.

Chicken - Lawry's Rotisserie Chicken
Pork Shoulder/butt - Bad Byrons Butt Rub
Pork Ribs - currently mixing Brucken's rub with Salt Lick Dry rub at about a 3:1 ratio
Steak - I spoil my family by purchasing whole tenderloin and processing it into generously think Filets, so all that is needed here is good ol salt & Pepper
Baked Beans - Oakridge Habanero Death Dust

My latest favorite combo rub for bb ribs is Salt Lick and wrap over night, out of the fridge and a dusting of Big Butz Pig Pollen.

Salt Lick is heavy on the black pepper side, whereas the pig pollen brings on the paprika flavors

Salt lick rub is pretty good. Driving to San Antonio next week and will definitely be stopping at saltlick to try the BBQ

Brucken Food are  a local company in Dayton, OH. The company started back in 1913 and recently changed ownership. Their steak seasoning is popular at many local steakhouses and some of the mustards they carry are outstanding.
