I noticed JJ's rub mentioned several places. is there a recipe or is it a commercial rub. If so who sells it.
Great to be back. Been out of pocket for awhile (no Smokin--not in the pen)

I have mentioned JJ's Rub a few times on this forum and you are the first one to pick up on it! 
You have to whip it up yourself. It is not as complicated as it seems, and sure is a nice rub. I use it on ribs, butts and briskets, heck, just about everything, and add varying degrees of "heat" to it. My latest addition is a half teaspoon of piment d'esplette which is a hot pepper powder from the Basque region of Europe. This picks it up a notch or two! Here is a link to JJ's rub.

I've seen that on BGE forum, but hadn't tried it (considering the list of rubs I have to try is probably a couple of 100....)
I'll have to try this.
I'll post it in "recipes" with credit to you and BGE.

Smokin-
Most EGGERS swear by this rub.
The recipe makes up enough to fill a big shaker that I keep handy for rubbing my QUE.
I have a closet full of commercial rubs that I rarely use now since mixing up JJ's stuff. No msg or smoke powder in this one, and it is fun to whip it up and see such a nice result. Then, you can experiment with it like I do with extra heat or whatever. This is real queing in my opinion.
Hope the Egg police wont come over and scramble my EGG now that I gave away their big secret!

Well, we won't tell them how much time you spend here NOR the fact that you have a CS.
Last week I made a batch of JJ's rub and Q Sauce. The rub's pretty good tho Ms. TC says she likes mine better. The Q Sauce is a different matter...don't bother.
Thanks for the info BBQ. I like to try what other people use. Hope it turns off cool so I can do some cooking.
Bobbyque, is jj rub a sweet rub if made as is. The ingredients calls for salt to taste. Any suggestions for amount of salt?

Pigfan- sorry for delay in reply to this.
I do not find JJ's rub sweet. Also, I use very little salt in the rub when I make it. I have a feeling this pulls moisture to the surface of what you are "rubbing", and want to avoid this reaction. I may put a teaspoon or less of salt in the mixture.
Anyone care to point me in the direction of the JJ's Rub recipe? The link is no longer valid...
If you don't already own it, I'd recommend Paul Kirk's Championship BBQ Sauces. It has 175 rub, sauce, marinade recipes. It's less than $10 on Amazon.
