The Official Rub Thread

Plowboys is best on pork although they claim it is all purpose. I wouldn't use plowboys or Obie on beef. If you want a nice brisket rub and you are in the mood for something more than salt and pepper, try Black Ops. That stuff is legit brisket goodness.

For shoulder, a layer of plow and a Layer of Obie gives you a really nice sweet heat combo. Obie smells really good in the jar. I learned about it from Bam Bam. If you aren't enamored with plowboys alone, spice it up with some Obie. You can get a large shaker for around $7. No need to buy the monster sized gallon rubs.

Someone had recommended Plowboys for brisket a while back, but like I said, I wasn't overly impressed. I'll try it on pork next time. Does the BBQ Pit Stop in Lehi sell Black Ops?

Plowboys, Obie, Black Ops...where do you get these? Can you find all three at the Pit Stop in Lehi? Are any of them at the grocery store?

I love, love smoking guns hot as a second layer on all pork products. Plow+SG hot is heaven on ribs.

Blues Hog is life changing for those that have not sampled. Blues Hog Tennessee Red will change your life even further.

I like a 50/50 mix of Blue Hog Original and the TN Red. I have also mixed BHO woth Sweet Baby Ray's. Actually, BHO mixed with any bbq sauce works. TN Red is awesome on pork. Also, if you can track down Head Country Original BBQ Sauce, it is good stuff too. A lot of guys mix all three together.

SG Hot is good stuff. I also like BPS "Money" with their "Happy Ending" finishing rub. Very good flavor.

I am over the moon on Blues Hog sauce.

I'm a big BPS fan boy. Big Poppa is who I buy almost all of my stuff through, including where I bought my Memphis. I'm really happy that they've had so much recent success on the circuit. They make great products with great service and BP is a great guy.

McCormicks makes a number of really good rubs that can be conveniently found at your nearest grocery store. They may also carry Famous Dave's, which is terrific in it's own right.

I was talking to Steve at the BBQ Pit Stop this morning and he recommended the same thing - 50/50 mix of Blue Hog.

Famous Dave's steak & burger rub is awesome on grilled burgers.

KC, you can pick up Black Ops at the Snide. That may be closer to you

I just ordered a couple of packs of this. I'm a little scared as their HDD (Habanero Death Dust) is hot and Oakridge says this is a lot hotter. Look out for ghost pepper hot wings...when I am brave enough to try it.

Giving this a shot on some ribs tomorrow.
