How to Use
- Pat meat or vegetables dry as appropriate for the recipe.
- Apply a light, even coating of BBQ Rub; add more according to the size of the cut and your taste.
- For brisket, pork shoulder, and ribs, season the exterior before smoking. For chicken, turkey, or vegetables, apply before roasting or grilling.
- Because this seasoning contains sugar and brown sugar, watch for excessive browning over direct high heat.
- Cook meats to the appropriate safe internal temperature using a food thermometer.
Pitmaster tip: An injection or wet brine seasons thicker cuts in a different way than a dry rub. Pair them when you want flavor inside the meat and a seasoned exterior, but account for salt from both.

Ask the Pitmaster
What meats can I use Butcher BBQ All-Purpose BBQ Rub on?
Use it to season beef, pork, chicken, and turkey, as well as grilled or roasted vegetables. Start with an even coating and adjust to taste for the size and type of food.
Is this BBQ rub good for Thanksgiving turkey?
Yes. This is the all-purpose BBQ Rub included in our Holiday Turkey Brine Kit. After brining your turkey, discard the used brine, pat the skin dry, and apply the rub before smoking or oven-roasting.
Is Butcher BBQ All-Purpose BBQ Rub sweet or spicy?
It is a balanced savory seasoning with some sweetness and smoky character. Its ingredient list includes sugar, brown sugar, paprika, garlic, chili pepper, and natural smoke flavor. Adjust the amount to your preferred seasoning level.
Does Butcher BBQ BBQ Rub contain sugar or MSG?
Yes. The current ingredient list includes sugar, brown sugar, and monosodium glutamate (MSG). Review the label for the most current ingredients and any dietary concerns.
Can I use this rub for both smoking and grilling?
Yes. Use it on low-and-slow barbecue or grilled foods. Because the rub contains sugar, watch closely during high-heat or direct-flame cooking to avoid excessive darkening.
How much BBQ rub should I apply?
Begin with a light, even coating and add more to taste. Large cuts such as brisket or pork shoulder generally need more seasoning than chicken pieces or vegetables. The right amount depends on the cut and your preference.
When should I apply BBQ Rub to a brined turkey?
Remove the turkey from the brine, discard the used liquid, pat the skin dry, and apply the rub before cooking. The brine already seasons the turkey, so start with a lighter coating and adjust to taste.
Can I use this BBQ Rub with Butcher BBQ injections?
Yes. An injection seasons the inside of thicker cuts, while the BBQ Rub seasons the exterior. Consider the salt in both products when deciding how heavily to season.
What sizes does Butcher BBQ All-Purpose BBQ Rub come in?
Choose a 13 oz shaker bottle for convenient everyday seasoning or a 2 lb bag when you cook larger quantities. Select the size you want from the product options.
Can I use this rub on vegetables?
Yes. Sprinkle lightly on potatoes, corn, zucchini, or other vegetables before grilling or roasting. Toss with a little cooking oil if desired to help the seasoning adhere.
