I’m a fan of the stick burner, it’s more work I know but I don’t mind
Today, for the first time I picked up “Salt Lick” rub
Wow, lots of black pepper. I personally liked it but the wife and kids not so much. I’d rate it a little over the top on black pepper
I had used Head Country for years but I was informed a few months ago they were tired of it.
I prefer oak wood myself.
I’m a weekend warrior, no competition skills but I do pork ribs, beef ribs, whole chickens and pork tenderloins
What wood and rub do you prefer?

I’m still searching for the perfect seasonings. A friend of mine claims Kosmos is a great rub I’ve never ran across it but I know where he buys it, which is out of my way I think Amazon has it But yes, I agree. Rub is very important If you like hot, try Salt Lick. But don’t go heavy. Great flavor I thought but wife and kids say no A little too much and it will bite

I’ve tried the salt lick rub, got too carried away on a rack of ribs. Couldn’t eat them, they were too hot. I use oak wood, and Kenny’s seasoning. United, Most HEB stores, and online. http://kennysseasonings.com/

I’d say I went overboard looking back but I applied what I always apply using other rubs Salt Lick, I’d recommend about half going forward. I don’t have a HEB close but I will look into that

Depends. Best rub I've found so far is meat church. Love apple or cherry for a butt. Pecan or hickory for ribs. Using a masterbuilt here.

With us and kids and land and animals it seems like a 4-6 hour cook I can handle I can’t pay and commit to much else like a brisket it seems Thoughts

Rub, smoke, pull when it hits 195 internal. You can't go wrong. Its a much longer cook though. More like 10 hours at 225.

You can cheat on a pork butt. Smoke for 4-6 hours, wrap and put in oven at 250-275 for final temp.

For ribs I use Zach's Texas Style BBQ Sweet rub: it's not over powering with the sweet flavor which I like.
For brisket I picked up Killens salt and pepper blend, that's all it is just a 50/50 mix.

The Weber honey/garlic pork butt and chicken rub is pretty good and easy.
Salt Lick is insanely spicy. I have been using the same bottle for 15 years since only my portion gets it! Has lots of cayenne in it.

Salt Lick is insanely spicy. I have been using the same bottle for 15 years since only my portion gets it! Has lots of cayenne in it. yep, the heat in the Salt Lick rub is usually the cayenne, not the black pepper ... I can take a lot of black pepper but something about the cayenne tears up my guts which are usually cast iron otherwise. I have tried probably 2-3 dozen different store bought rubs but not many really give me the flavors I am looking for. For store bought, Grub Rub I've found to be good on pork but I still add black pepper to that. for beef, I make up my own rub using about 1 cup sea salt, 1+ cup black pepper and 1/2 cup of onion powder ... occasionally I add 1/4 cup garlic powder. I use this same rub on pork and chicken but also add in some brown sugar (just a little bit). I prefer cooking using live oak (adequate supply for me) and pecan (when available) or mesquite (when available) and I really like using peach wood for pork and chicken when I have some available (after trimming my peach trees in the winter). to me a pork butt is very forgiving where you just cook to internal temp 195ish. My wife doesn't care for as much smoke flavor as I do, so often times I will pull briskets and pork butts after 5-6 hours of smoke and finish in the oven at 225.

For beef, I use salt/pepper and mesquite only.
For pork & chicken, I'm kinda stuck on Meat Church products right now. I like Hickory, or a mix of Hickory & Oak.

Daddy B's chicken seasoning is bar none the best I've found for chicken and I've tried them all. Loved it so much I just ordered more and bought some of their rubs for pork and beef but haven't tried them yet.
On pork, I like to mix the heat with the sweet. On beef, I like a lot of black pepper flavor.
I do like the Meat Church products for pork. Mix their regular with their spicy. Wasn't a fan of their beef rub.
Chupacabra is good on beef.

This is how I did my last pork shoulder. It's Aaron Flanklin method. Easy homemade dry rub. It's what I would do anyway when messing around for a rub. I did what he does and put it in a spice shaker.
