Commercial Rubs

[Brian in Maine]

I like Mike Mills Magic Dust on Chicken, & Pork But on Brisket I haven't found anything that I like as well as Slabs Beef. I buy it from Hawgeyes.

Plowboys on chicken
Plowboys on ribs
Chris Lilly's championship rub on pork
Heffer dust or Fiesta brisket rub on brisket


I also like Head country's rub a lot and I use a lot of Gordons Grub Rub.

• Brisket -- 50/50 or 25/75 mix Salt-n-Pepper
• Pork Butt -- Stubbs
• Chicken -- Shake-n-Bake
• Ribs -- Stubbs

Another awesome rub comes from Dollar Tree and is called BLAZIN' BLENDS Memphis Style BARBEQUE SPICE.

or make your own..

My Rub
-2 parts black pepper (fresh please, can use half-n-half with white pepper too)
-1 part Lawry's Seasoning Salt (can use plain old salt in a pinch)
-1 part Chili Powder (mild)

Mike Mills Magic dust is also excellent..

​

To make it a little more hot and spicy, increase the mustard powder and black pepper to 1/4 cup each.

​

Makes about 2 1/2 cups

• 1/2 cup paprika
• 1/4 cup kosher salt, finely ground
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons mustard powder
• 1/4 cup chili powder
• 1/4 cup ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup granulated garlic
• 2 tablespoons cayenne

Most of the commerical rubs have same indgrient. I'm no rub snob I use Lawery on all my stuff but last time I did ribs I use McCormich pork rub it did a great job.

Most of the commerical rubs have same indgrient.

And yet they all taste so different. :roll:
