I make my own rubs. I have found that my pork rub on ribs works outstanding, but I have been using some of KosmosQ Dirty Bird Hot on top of it.

How many of our fellow smokers out there make their own meat rub?

I make my own. But at times I'll use Old Bay or Lawry's seasoned salt. I have been making my own dip powders - mix with sour cream and taco seasonings lately. I do have Simon and Garfunkel mixed up as well.

For a long time I've been surprised how many buy commercial rubs. With all the debate on cookers costing hundreds to thousands of dollars, expensive meats, debates on woods it astonishing to think you can't make your own rub for pennies compared to commercial rubs. For me a little experimentation goes a long way, it takes only a few minutes to make your own. If all the ones I have made either by recipe or experimentation some have been better than others, but none have been bad. Commercial rubs are almost always loaded with salt, too much most of the time. Most all have the same basic ingredients, when I make my own I get to customize it to my taste.

I kind of fell into making my own rubs and spice mix. I wanted to make tasso from various internet recipes, so I had to experiment to find the right spice mix for me. When I joined this site I tried Meathead's Memphis Dust for ribs and was hooked. Making my own rubs is all about controlling the salt. Commercial rubs are just full of salt, so if you want to add more flavor you risk over-salting the meat.
