Lets talk rubs

[Pro88LX]

So i have been using Lambert's Sweet Rub o Mine and i really like it but want to experiment. Any suggestions or recipes for your favorite rubs?

[Tyrone Biggums]

I'm too lazy to make my own. I'm a fan of Stubbs.

Why keep it to yourself? do you compete?

I make different rubs for different meats.

However I've found that the old town meat market in Lewisville has one of the best brisket rubs around.

Basically just salt pepper and garlic powder, that's the best thing you can do to a brisket.

Pork rubs contain more savory spices as well as sugar

Chicken gets more savory, no sweet

Seafood gets citrus and fresh herbs

Ribs get almost the same thing as pork, and it more heat and sugar.

BBQ rub recipes are just something you don't share.

Spot on. I do like citrus with chicken too.

This..... my rub gets different additional spices add to it depending on what meat I make, the standard goes with pretty much everything but it depends on what type of flavor you're trying to achieve with the meat.

And thank you for understanding Brent, I knew of all members you would.

if you arent making money off of it, i see no reason not to share your "secrets." wierd

I have bought just about every rub out there and made plenty versions of my own and honestly the one I keep going back to and using the most is The Salt Grass seasoning.
It works damn good on briskets, steaks and ribs. I don't care for it much on chicken and go with a home made one for poultry and sea food.

I've been using their rubs lately with good results.

I kinda understand not wanting your hard work to test and find the sweet spot on seasonings given away freely, but I agree, it is a bit odd.

It is the same way with drag racers that only do test & tune and grudge races. So what if everyone knows exactly what your combo is, if you are faster you are faster. The secrets thing just seems like something that people want to have over someone else, in the end.

I've spent a fuck load of time and money, and gone through a ton of aggravation getting my rub recipes just right. As have millions before me. And people just expect you to share the recipe. It's like someone taking credit for your hard work. I'll give tips, and I've offered criticism such as "too much salt, not enough brown sugar, needs more heat", etc; but I won't tell anyone my exact recipe. Matt probably knows it by now, as much as we BBQ together, but he and I also plan on competing when our schedules calm down.

It's also no secret that I want to open a restaurant one day, and there is a strong possibility that it will be a BBQ joint. People have always given me shit for not sharing the recipe, but they can lick my ass, I really don't care.

What kind of rub do you use on it?
