Does anyone make their own rub? What is your secret recipe as I have notice it is getting popular now that everyone is making rub.
 
Never tried it. I usually pick up the Pit Boss rubs but have recently seen Meat Church rubs in Ace Hardware. Right now I have over 20 different rubs so I am trying to slow down on buying them and use some up.

thanks for the site always looking for new things to do.

Yes and no. There are some very good rub recipes in Steven Raichlen's book (bbq bible). I use his Memphis style rub recipe and occasionally his Jamaican rub & sauce recipe. The Jamaican recipe is phenomenal in my opinion, but it uses a lot of fresh ingredients so is more difficult and time consuming to make. It is also fairly spicy and is a bit too hot for my wife.
 
I used to make my rubs too but have gotten lazy. There are so many damn good rubs out there now as well. When I was making them, I started putting weird stuff in to make them taste different. I don't think the wife approved. :LOL:
 
I make my own, but it's simple. Just salt and pepper. 1/2 and 1/2 Kosher salt and medium ground pepper with a light coat of olive oil to make it stick. I've tried making other rubs, and have tried many pre-made rubs. I always come back to salt and pepper. I get the most compliments using salt/pepper rub. Creates a nice bark and lets the meat do the talking. It's pretty common in Texas.

I am the same way with just a hint of minced garlic and onion. No powders or fine grain spices to keep the smoke out. Watching a lot of youtube BBQ videos, seeing people putting layers of multiple brands of rubs on their meats. Looks like a graham cracker crust. 😁 Wonder if they taste the delicious meat and smoke.
 
I use coarse ground pepper (50%), coarse sea salt (30%), granulated garlic (15%) and paprika (5%).
