If you only use commercial rubs, you ain't a cook.

wrong.
it's condescending statements such as this that would keep a novice away from trying any type of cooking, not just bbq.
i have made my own rubs with great success. at present, i carefully select the freshest spices in the proper proportions for the product i wish to create: killer bbq. my spices come conveniently mixed, sealed and shipped to me via priority mail from my buddy steph in california.
while i won't disagree with the idea of mixing ones own spices to create a rub is a wonderful part of the process, it is not the ONLY part of the process of making Q. fark up the temp control, choose the wrong wood, over cook, under cook, use a sauce that doesn't compliment the rub or meat, and you could have the best rub in the world and the Q is bad.
but to each his own....
cheers and have fun smoking. scott
