sub333 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hello, I've been looking to buy a few rubs and sauces, but it's very difficult to know where to start. Almost all the ones I've seen claim to have won countless awards/trophies, but there's very little to go on. And most of them seem to say "Great with beef/pork/chicken/fish" which isn't very helpful! The ones I've already bought are: Bad Byron's Butt Rub Sauce Shop South Carolina BBQ Sauce Butcher BBQ Liquid Brisket Injection The rub and the sauce are great. The sauce, in particular, has a nice piquant vinegar thing going on. I'm not a huge fan of overly sweet sauces – I prefer some heat (not loads) and something sharp and piquant (I always have chimichurri on steak, for example, not blue-cheese or creamy sauces). Are there any others people would recommend? I was on bbq gourmet and they have dozens of options, so would be great to narrow this down. All advice welcomed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 There are some very good videos on YT making your own, we've enjoyed having a go at our own. When you see these pitmasters throwing buckets of dry rubs at the meat it must cost a fortune?? Link..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub333 Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Very good point, thank you! I didn't realise they were as straightforward as that – I'd always assumed that rubs had a few secret ingredients that would be hard to replicate at home. Very useful video – thanks for sharing 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 No problem Sub There are many more on the tube, tell you what we did once we bought a tube of "magic dust" just to see what it was like. It turned out ok, I liked it, then read the list of what's in there and make your own. Ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 You may have heard of this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub333 Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Yes, he's the guv'nor! I know he's a firm believer in simple rubs – I saw a brisket video of his where he just uses salt and A LOT of black pepper. Seems such a cool guy. Doesn't take himself seriously and clearly knows way more than his easy-going persona lets on 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor72 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Angus and oink do some great rubs . I’m with you on the minimal use and not over sweet. But I’m impressed with their range as it’s more diverse than others Edited May 22, 2019 by Raptor72 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascinating, and made me want to barbecue so much! Has anyone on the forum ever been to Franklin BBQ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
