Commercial Rib Rubs

wayner123 · Feb 24, 2010

Hello all,

I usually make my own rubs and they have served me well. But for the sake of just trying out different tastes and flavors, can you all recommend your favorite commercially available rubs to mainly use on ribs?

I love a sweet rib and I may do Trigg's honey/sugar/parkay as well, but I wanted to know the brethern's favorite commercial rubs for ribs. Thanks.

I like Plowboys Yardbird myself. Get the sweet from the sauce.

Yeah....I ain't tried a LOT, but Yardbird's hard to beat.
Come to think of it.....I gotta order more of that stuff!

I like Cimmaron Doc's Sweet Rib Rub, new Butcher's Honey rub, and John Henry's Wild Cherry Chipotle Rub.

I've bought Grill Mates Pork rub and apple wood rub and they both tasted great. I also liked the Famous Dave's rib rub. I found them at Ralphs. I want to try all the ones that have been suggested too.

Simply Marvelous Sweet and Spicy, Pecan or Cherry are all excellent rubs for pork. I have not tried the Apple yet, it comes highly recommended.

I also use Dizzy Pigs Dizzy Dust salt-free when I am wanting to reduce sodium. Good stuff as well.

Agreed great rubs, and they are very low salt also.

Yardbird or homemade. Last 15 minutes I usually put a thin coat of Sweet Baby Rays.
