Pitside Answers
Ask the Pitmaster
What is the difference between a sweet BBQ rub and a savory rub?
Sweet BBQ rubs emphasize flavors such as honey, fruit, or sweet heat, making them popular choices for pork and chicken. Savory rubs emphasize flavors such as salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs, which many cooks prefer on brisket and steak. Choose based on the flavor you want, not just the type of meat.
Which Butcher BBQ rub is best for brisket?
Texas Bark SPG is a straightforward choice for a classic salt, pepper, and garlic-style brisket profile. Steak and Brisket Rub is another option when you want a more seasoned beef flavor. Either can be paired with a brisket injection as part of your preparation.
Which rub should I use on pork ribs or pulled pork?
Honey Rub Original is a starting point for a sweet BBQ profile. Sweet Chipotle adds a sweet-and-spicy direction, while Wild Cherry offers a fruit-forward option. Choose the flavor that complements your sauce or preferred finish.
What flavors are available in Butcher BBQ Honey Rub?
Explore the Honey Rub product's flavor options, including Original, Garlic Honey, Queen Bee, Pecan Honey, Chicken and Waffle, and 5 Alarm Hot Honey. Check the product page's Flavor selector for the current available choices and descriptions.
Can I layer two BBQ rubs on the same meat?
Yes. Layering a savory seasoning with a sweeter rub can create a more complex flavor. Start with light, even applications so the combined seasoning does not overpower the meat, and watch sugary rubs carefully over high heat.
