BBQ Rubs

"This review is not about meat rubs for grilling; it is about rubs for slow smoked BBQ."

This past weekend I slow smoked 4 slabs of pork ribs and 4 slabs of beef ribs. Each slab was rubbed with a total of 4 different spice blends, 3 that were commercial and one that I have the recipe for. They are:

Bad Byron’s Butt Rub (BB)
Charlie Vergas Rendezvous Famous Seasoning
Coopers Old Time Pit BBQ Rub
Jake’s Boss BBQ Rub Recipe

PORK RIBS

With a test group and my opinion as well, the ratings were identical. Winning by a land slide margin was Jake’s Boss BBQ Rub. In second place was Bad Byron’s Butt Rub.

BEEF RIBS

With a different test group (but with me as well) the following are the results:

Winning 1st place was Coopers Old Time Pit BBQ Rub beating Jake’s Boss BBQ rub by a hair.
