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.

What type of BBQ rub is best for brisket?

Brisket rubs typically use salt, pepper, garlic, and savory spices. Texas-style rubs are the most popular choice for brisket because they enhance bark and natural beef flavor.

How long should BBQ rub sit on meat?

Most BBQ 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 and seasoning penetration.

Some BBQ rubs are spicy, while others are sweet, smoky, or savory. Each rub has a different flavor profile and heat level, which is listed on the product page.

BBQ rubs do not 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.
