Floridaboy76 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hello All , I can see this has been a topic before but the old thread is not open to new members. I just purchased some Traeger rub from a garden centre for 9.95 .... ouch . Are there other rubs at a better price , UK origin ? or is this par for the course(ly) (ground salt and pepper ). thanks , Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabs Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 https://www.fireflybbq.eu/ Used these guys a couple of times. Based just outside Manchester, they produce a range of rubs to suit most applications. The only thing I found an issue was the granules tended to bind together, despite being stored in air tight bags it always clumps when used in a shaker. But at the price (when purchasing in bulk) you can't quibble too much. The best rubs I've used are Oakridge BBQ but they are pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floridaboy76 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Hi Smokin Monkey , That was my error. I saw something about being closed to new recipients but I think it was talking about past viewers ? Now sorted. I’m after something for pork and chicken so will give that firefly a try. Any suggestions ? That Memphis looks good ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Over the last few years, I've tried a number of rubs and I find a lot of them leave a lot to be desired. I have maybe 25/30 bottles of the stuff and some are ok'ish, I now go and make my own, yesterday I watched a video were this US guy cooked up his own sauces, it looked good maybe knock a batch up next week ? There are recipes for the rubs all over the net, or take the spices that you like and have a go....on a small scale like a pork chop or steak.

Floridaboy76 Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Hey Ice , thanks and that’s what I’m going to do. I just needed something for some pork steaks on Sunday. Any idea where to get celery seeds and onion powder ? Think they are an American thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they are an American thing Morning.....far from it both are on most supermarket shelves. We have found them easy, the other way would be online but you won't get them for tomorrow. https://groceries.morrisons.com/webshop/product/Morrisons-Celery-Salt-/264892011 https://groceries.morrisons.com/webshop/product/Morrisons-Onion-Granules-/264889011 Ice.

sotv Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 As ice said, making your own is the way to go. But if looking for something quick or to much hassle to make. 1 of these packs for your pork steaks will do the job for £1 and not a bad little rub. Definitely sold in Morrisons as have got them there before but think Asda may do them as well? https://groceries.morrisons.com/webshop/product/Reds-Divine-Pulled-Pork-Barbeque-Rub-Mild/360178011?param=red+bbq+rub&from=search 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Not bad for a £1...it says..." blended seasoning with paprika, garlic and onion" using that as a base you can work on it. Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I make my own rubs as well. It’s nice trying different types of rubs, also Good to make rubs with less sugar in them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floridaboy76 Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 I am going o make my own rub for sure ... just want to buy main ingredients in bulk , have a play in small scale with balance.

Paolo Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I actually can’t believe people pay £15 + for seasoning .... make your own and spend the money on more meat ! Also shop around for spices - those jars they sell at the supermarket are I believe the biggest marked up item in the shop. Morrison’s sometimes have 100g packets of rajah spices at much kore reasonable prices, failing that you can get them online or at local indoor food markets 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
