A BBQ rub is a blend of spices and seasonings applied to meat before cooking. Rubs enhance flavor and help create the bark that barbecue is known for.
Brisket rubs typically use salt, pepper, garlic, and a balance of savory spices. Texas-style rubs are the most popular for brisket.
Most rubs should sit on meat for 15-30 minutes before cooking, but you can apply them up to 12 hours in advance for deeper flavor.
Some BBQ rubs are sweet, others are smoky or savory, and some are spicy. Each product description lists the flavor profile and heat level.
BBQ rubs don’t spoil, but they lose flavor over time. For best results, use them within 1-2 years of opening and store in a cool, dry place.
