Jeff's Rub & Sauce

[ArsenalFan]

Same way with MSG, Dave - it's in a lot of store-bought rubs, too.  I have to watch for that one; triggers migraines in the wife!

Yeah, I found out the hard way that I've gotta watch out for MSG in rubs too - it makes my heart go crazy (and not in a good way).  That's why I prefer to make my own, but sometimes, a friend gets me a bottle of rub, so I feel obliged to smoke something for them with it.

I would try memphis dust, no chili powder!

Is Jeff's recipe still a go to for anyone? It's been a while since this post was made and I'm wondering if there is rubs and sauces that are equal or better.

Tim, I like jeff’s bbq sauce. It has a nice kick, goes with almost anything.  I have to dust off thr rubs and make a batch. I found a rub from Jeffs book, big bald rub, and its really good.

Hi have been using both the rub and sauce for several years and really like it. I use it on many things but especially on pork and chicken. Pulled chicken with his rub and sauce is awesome!
There is a lot of stuff out there but for $18 or whatever it was, it has more than paid for itself.

I see that he has it on Amazon now. I wouldn't imagine that he'll be selling a ton of it @ $10.00 for 1 container of rub and $14.00 for a bottle of sauce.

Saw that, I think the $20 bucks for two rub recipe and the sauce recipe is a steal. Real good web site. Jeff will even email the recipes if you lost them.

Jeff's stuff is good. I modified his BBQ sauce recipe and have people asking if I'll sell them some ;-)

How spicy is Jeff's rub?  My little one doesn't like spice so I'm searching for options that provide flavor without too much spice.  OTOH, if I make it spicy that means more for me ha.

It's really not very spicy at all. He has provisions in the recipe if you want essentially no spicyness.

Unless you smother a thin pork chop with it, it is not that hot.
