What is you Favorite "Must Have" commercial rub or..

I like "Outdoor Gourmet Brisket Rub seasoning" from Academy Sports and Outdoors. It's made by Tex-Joy. All Tex-joy rubs and seasonings are pretty good IMO. Also, head country & CS rubs work well on ribs.

On beef I like HomeBBQ's Garlic Lovers Steak rub. Very good garlicy blend and NO MSG. Montreal Steak seasoning was my goto rub for a long time. Head Country for my wife and friends is a MUST at each weekly cookout. I still love CS Rib Rub on my butts. and last but not least, Durkee's St Loius style Smokey Mesquite seasoning on pork ribs and or wings. Gotta keep a shaker of Dr BBQ's Bonesmokers Crank It Up pepper blend just to keep people on their toes! Thats what I carry when I cook away from home.

For brisket Texas BBQ Rub,Rendezvous Rub for ribs, Head country for butts,fatties. GOOD STUFF!

ground cloves
ground cumin

wooster sauce and red wine vinegar for adding to injections or marinades

etc

For poultry it's Cookshack's Spicy Chicken Rub!

Damn, isn't your CS saving you enough time You gotta make it your Q. Search for recipes, add more of what you like and less of what you don't. Sit back, have a couple of cold ones and make a bunch of different rubs for a night. Have a box of tissue nearby in case you get a nose full of pepper. You will also save money for your next CS.

The primary rub that I use is the regular Bonesmoker's. This is not the 13 pepper blend, although that is a good one also, but the original rub. The only problem is that it only comes in 10 lb. boxes now. But I use a lot to cook butts, chuck rolls and ribs for customers so I have no problem using it up.

What I learned from a Q caterer in the Willamette Valley. All he used was Montreal Steak Seasoning (on everything). This was with a Traeger commercial unit. From my tests it consistently works the best, or near the best, just like he said, on everything.

I change rubs often for the variety. I like the CS rubs, especially the Spicy Chicken Rub. Also, Spicewine Ironworks Hen and Hog Dust and Heffer Dust are favorites. For Brisket, it's Montreal Steak Seasoning.

Head Country.

Just two words.

I'm in love again.

Doc I use Wizards Pork or Beef rub. There sold locally here in Michigan. Hawgeyes in Iowa I believe sells it on the website. Dave Klose also has some killer rubs as well as Paul Kirk. Spice Wine, the man who makes bbq pits carrys his own line of rubs also. Just my 2 cents here. Sometimes I just open the spice cupboard and just start mixing rubs myslef also.
