What is your favorite type of commercial rub?

[matwell]

Hello Again,

I figured why not throw in the favorite rub question as well. When I first started smoking with my Bradley, I was making rubs from smoke and spice and other barbecue books. Sometimes it is convenient to have a commercial rub on hand for a quick fix. I have an order placed with Texas BBQ rub .com. From what I have read on line this seems like a well liked rub. What is your commercial rub of preference?

I generally mix my own. I make a large batch and keep it in a airtight container in the fridge, so I have it on hand when needed.

I always make my own for pork n ribs but for brisket I have used Montreal steak seasoning with much sucess. But I even mix that myself now.

My go to rub for most everything is the Wild Willys Number one-derful from Smoke&Spice.  The McCormick Grill Mates are not to bad from the grocery store in a pinch!

I have never bought a "rub". Have a book by John Willingham and he has recipes for several good rubs.

Is there really a bad rub out there? I have never tried one that was not tasty. It's just added spices. That's all. Have to tune in the rub to your liking, sweet, garlic, spicy etc. For a rush job the McCormick's is really good with poultry.

OH YES THERE IS....don't even come close these two.  First one has the "Ducks Unlimited" on it, you can normally see around at Vahl-Marht.  The other one is "Emerald's"...that guy needs to stick to what he knows best...and it's not rub.

Still my favorite, especially for butts is "Korky's".  It taste like an old school type rub. Plus it's not to much $$$$.

Charlie Vergo's Rendezvous Rib Rub. 

I found a recipe for their rib rub on the internet, so now I make it myself (who knows if the Rendezvous posted the real-deal or not, but its GOOD and it reminds me of yummy meals there):

1/2 cup salt
1/4 cup pepper
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp oregano
1 Tbsp celery seed
1 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp chile powder

Of course, I usually mix this rub 1:1 with brown sugar before applying to everything in sight ;)

I really like all the Dizzy Pig stuff.
Great service from this company.

Dizzy Pig for me ;D

I use the Texas BBQ rub and their Old No. 2 Brisket Blend and I like them both.  I haven't tried the Texas Wild yet.  I don't think you're on the wrong track and the price is right too.
