BBQ spices, rubs

[slow55]

Is there a place in the DFW area that has a decent selection of BBQ spices, rubs, sauces etc?

Cabela's actually has some decent stuff but looking for something new.

BBQ Galore.

Gold Medal Pools in Frisco, and Local Yokel Meat Market in McKinney carry Big Al's Texas rubs.

Why not make your own rubs?

Too much work. I already have a few I really like but always " looking " for that next one that catches my taste buds.

It's REALLY easy actually. I know you're probably not going to do it, but generally I just experiment with flavors I like (Really, I don't care what others think...at least I try not to), keep track of quantities and then mix a big batch in a big bottle. I have one that I've had for 3 years now and still have not used it all up.

If you do it, stick with a bigger container. It seems like my home grown rubs...spices tend to settle in different layers - so it takes a few shakes prior to using to get them redistributed.

Besides the crap the wife uses to cook, this is the only seasoning I buy and I do it just for random things...

Those are the actual containers I use for my rubs too.

Start making smaller batches. Seasonings start to lose their potency after a couple months, especially if you use any fresh herbs in them (I do).

OP- I always make my own. Every store bought rub I've come across has way too much salt, and it is the lazy man's way out. And seriously, it's not work at all. I can make mine in a matter of minutes. And I also have food specific rubs. My brisket rub and pork butt rub are different, and my rib rub is different from my pork butt rub. Experimenting with different flavors in the rubs is half the fun of smoking.
