Best Pork Rubs

We’ve tried this rub on several pork cuts, and it never fails to impress. The blend of brown and white sugars gives a nice sweetness that balances perfectly with the other spices. It’s not just for pork either – we found it works great on steaks and burgers too.

What really stands out is how it caramelizes during cooking. This creates a tasty crust on the meat that’s hard to beat. We like that it’s made in Texas by people who know their BBQ. The lack of MSG is a plus for those watching their ingredient lists.

One downside is the size – at only 1 pound, we find ourselves running out quicker than we’d like. It’s also a bit sweeter than some other rubs we’ve tried, which might not be for everyone. The price is a little higher, but we think the quality makes up for it. If you’re after that authentic Texas BBQ taste, this rub is worth a try.

We tried Bolner’s Fiesta Pork Rub on several cuts of pork and were impressed by its taste. The blend of spices creates a savory flavor that enhances the meat without overpowering it. We found it worked great on ribs, pork loins, and even chops.

The 20-ounce container gives good value for money. It lasted us through many cookouts and family dinners. We liked that a little goes a long way, so we didn’t need to use too much each time.

We noticed the rub also works well on chicken, making it more versatile than we first thought. While it’s great on its own, we tried mixing in some brown sugar for a touch of sweetness. This gave our pork dishes an extra tasty boost.

We tried Stubb’s Pork Rub on different cuts of meat, and it didn’t let us down. The mix of sea salt, paprika, mustard, and lime juice gives pork a zingy kick that’s hard to beat. We loved how it brought out the best in our grilled chops and roasts.

This rub isn’t just for pork. We tested it on chicken and even some grilled veggies. It added a nice touch to everything we cooked. The lime flavor is pretty strong, so keep that in mind if you’re not big on citrus.

We like that Stubb’s uses real ingredients with no fake stuff. It’s also gluten-free and non-GMO, which is a plus for many folks. The 5.07-ounce container lasted us quite a while, as a little goes a long way. We found it easy to use – just pat it on before cooking, and you’re good to go.

We recently tried the Notorious P.I.G. Pulled Pork Rub from PS Seasoning, and it quickly became a favorite in our BBQ toolkit. The blend of brown sugar and peppers creates a perfect balance of sweetness and heat that complements pork beautifully.

During our test, we used this rub on both pulled pork and ribs. The results were impressive. It formed a nice crust on the meat while infusing it with a deep, smoky flavor. We found it worked equally well as a dry rub or mixed with a bit of oil for a wet application.

One thing we really appreciated was the rub’s versatility. It’s not just for pulled pork – it also shines on chops and other cuts. The lack of artificial flavors and MSG is a big plus in our book. While it’s a bit pricier than some basic rubs, we think the quality ingredients justify the cost.

We’ve tried Byron’s Butt Rub on everything from ribs to popcorn, and it never disappoints. The blend of spices packs a punch without being too hot. We love how it forms a nice crust on grilled meats.

This rub works great as a base for homemade BBQ sauce too. We mixed it with some ketchup and vinegar for a quick sauce that got rave reviews at our last cookout. The 4.5-ounce jar lasted us through several meals.

One thing to note – a little goes a long way. We found it easy to over-season at first. Start with less than you think you need and add more to taste. The mix of salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika is tasty but can be strong on milder foods like fish or eggs.

We tried PS Seasoning’s Notorious P.I.G. rub on some pork shoulders recently. The sweet brown sugar balances nicely with the peppery kick. It created a tasty bark on our pulled pork that had guests asking for the recipe.

This rub works great as both a dry and wet seasoning. We rubbed it on pork chops before grilling and mixed it into a marinade for ribs. The flavors really shine through no matter how you use it.

The 25.8 oz container is perfect for BBQ enthusiasts who cook pork often. We like that it’s made in the USA without MSG or artificial additives. While a bit spicy and salty, adjusting the amount lets you customize the flavor to your taste.

This rub packs a flavor punch. We sprinkled it on pork chops and were blown away by the sweet, smoky taste. The brown sugar and bourbon notes shine through without being too strong. It’s not just for pork – we tried it on chicken and salmon too.

The big 27 oz container is great for frequent grillers. We found a little goes a long way, so it should last a while. The shaker top makes it easy to apply, but it can get clogged if moisture gets in.

We love how versatile this rub is. It works well as a seasoning, dry rub, or marinade base. We mixed some with oil for a quick marinade on ribs. The taste was amazing. While it’s meant for grilling, we also used it to jazz up roasted veggies. Just be careful – it can overpower milder foods if you use too much.

We’ve tried many pork rubs, but Lambert’s Sweet Rub O’ Mine stands out. This blend won the 2013 Memphis in May Grand Championship, and it’s easy to see why. The mix of sweetness and spices creates a perfect balance that works great on pork shoulder, ribs, and even chicken.

When we used this rub on a rack of ribs, the result was amazing. The sweetness caramelized nicely, forming a tasty crust. It didn’t overpower the meat’s natural flavors but added a nice depth. We found it worked well in both the oven and on the grill.

The 12.5-ounce container might seem big, but we went through it faster than expected. It’s so good, we started using it on more than just pork. The rub adds a nice touch to chicken and even some veggies. While it’s a bit pricier than basic rubs, we think the quality and versatility make it worth the cost for BBQ fans.

We tried Bad Byron’s Butt Rub on pork, chicken, and even veggies. The blend of spices gave our meats a smoky, authentic Texas-style flavor. We liked that it’s MSG-free and works well on different foods.

The rub has a nice kick from black pepper and chipotle powder. It might be too spicy for those who prefer milder seasonings. We found it perfect for pork butt and ribs, adding depth without overpowering the meat.

We appreciated the large 52-ounce package, which lasted through many BBQ sessions. The powder form was easy to apply, but we wish the container had a shaker top for easier use. Despite this small issue, we think it’s a great value for BBQ fans.
