This thread got me thinking about rubs

Ordering the premade ones can get alittle spendy for what you get

Anyone care to share their home made rub recipes ?

Specifically looking at dry rubs for smoking pork butts / shoulders .... but any recipes will help others I am sure

Here's the dry rub I use for smoking pork butts for pulled pork. It's super tasty.



¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar

¾ cup white sugar

½ cup paprika

¼ cup garlic powder

2 tbsp ground black pepper

2 tbsp ground ginger powder

2 tbsp onion powder



Like I said, this is a really good rub. That being said, I would encourage you to experiment; e.g. smoked vs sweet paprika, all brown sugar vs brown/white mix, etc. Use your imagination.

All of those above will work just fine.  Quite frankly, I was pleasantly surprised at how nothing more than kosher salt and fresh ground pepper works.

Coarse ground black pepper.
Kosher salt

50/50

Works amazing

If you really want something different, just buy some cheap McCormick one from the   grocery store. The one called "pork rub" one works great on  pork and poultry

Yep, maybe a little crushed red pepper if you want some heat.

But this method really makes you think about your wood choice(s) and length of actual smoke as you can't hide behind a lot of different flavors.

Do a search on "Emeril's Texas style smoked brisket." I've used that home made rub recipe and really like it.

Also, search for "Alton Brown's brined, smoked pork shoulder." I've used it several times.

I'm not big on experimenting so I use well known proven recipes.

'House' rub





4 parts salt and pepper, one part garlic powder. Easy. Awesome on brisket, tri tip







Add 4 parts brown sugar if you'd like for shoulder and ribs

There are more recipes for BBQ rub than Carter has little liver pills.  Everybody and their little brown dog has their great super secret recipe.  

After decades of doing this BBQ thingy I tend to keep it simple.

For beef I use salt and pepper.  A little garlic powder to go with it won't hurt.

If doing pork I add some brown sugar to the salt and pepper because sweet and pork goes together.

Paprika doesn't add a lot of flavor but it does add good color to the bark, especially with ribs.  

If you want a little bit of heat add Cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.  

The majority of the flavor comes from the meat itself and the smoke.  The rub just acts to set the bark and usually doesn't even penetrate much into the meat.

A mainstream classic is equal part salt, pepper, brown sugar, and paprika.

Add Tajin to any rub.

Rubs are largely voodoo bullshit that you will never even taste. Salt and pepper are the irreducible and most necessary pair. The rest is largely faggotry.

I only used this once for a Brisket I made, the family and our company that night scarfed it down and said it was fantastic, not sure how it would taste on a pork butt though, may have to try it.


1/3 cup Paprika
1/3 cup Turbinado sugar (“Sugar in the Raw.”)
1/4 to 1/3 cup kosher salt,
1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
1/2 Tablespoon Garlic Powder to taste
1 Tablespoon Cumin
1 Tablespoon dried basil
Fresh Cracked Pepper to Taste
Cayenne pepper to taste (add a little at a time)

Still voodoo bullshit.




I've tried it all. My opinions are not based on ignorance or misunderstanding of science.

coarse ground black pepper and kosher salt 50/50 as a base...

then add whatever blows your skirt up.
what I add depends on my mood at the time and what I may have on hand at the moment.
cayenne, chipotle chili powder, cumin, onion, garlic powder, paprika... whatever you like.

I have even been known to add a little bit of Emeril's original Essence...

bottom line. go light on the rub... the stars of the show are the meat and smoke.

unnamed folks on this board have even asked me to mail baggies back to Texas for them...lol lol lol
