Everything you need to know about our BBQ rubs
Got questions? We've got answers! Below you'll find the most common questions about our products, usage tips, and ordering information.
What makes Texas BBQ Rub different from other rubs?
Our rubs are made with all-natural ingredients, contain no MSG, and are completely gluten-free. We use Bill Cannon's time-tested recipes that have won multiple BBQ championships. The secret is in the perfect balance of spices that enhance the natural flavor of your meat without overpowering it.
How much rub should I use?
Apply a generous coating to all sides of your meat. You want enough to create a nice crust (bark) when cooking. As a general rule, use about 2 tablespoons per pound of meat. Don't be shy - the rub is designed to create that perfect flavor profile.
Do I need to let the meat sit after applying the rub?
Yes! Let the meat rest for at least 30 minutes after applying the rub. This allows the spices to penetrate the meat and develop deeper flavor. For best results, you can even apply it the night before and refrigerate.
Can I use these rubs on chicken and pork, or just beef?
Our rubs work wonderfully on all types of meat! Use them on ribs, brisket, pork shoulder, chicken, turkey, and even vegetables. Each product has its specialty, but they're all versatile enough for various meats.
What's the difference between the different rub varieties?
Each rub has a unique flavor profile: The Original is our all-purpose blend, Grand Champion is competition-tested, Old No.2 is specifically for brisket and large cuts, Texas Wild adds heat, and our other varieties offer specialized flavors for different cooking styles.
Are your rubs spicy?
The Original Texas BBQ Rub and most of our varieties have a mild heat level that adds flavor without overwhelming spice. If you like it hot, try our Texas Wild variety. The heat level is clearly marked on each product.
How should I store the rub?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the bag sealed tightly after opening. Properly stored, our rubs will maintain their flavor for up to 2 years.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes! We offer a full 60-day money-back guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, contact us for a full refund. No questions asked.
How long does shipping take?
Orders typically ship within 1-2 business days. Standard shipping within the continental USA takes 3-5 business days. Four bags (any combination) ship for just $10.95.
Can I use your rubs with gas grills, or do they only work with charcoal/smokers?
Our rubs work great with any cooking method - gas grills, charcoal grills, pellet smokers, electric smokers, or even in the oven. The rub creates amazing flavor regardless of your equipment.
What's the 1-2-3 formula?
It's our simple method: 1) Apply the rub generously, 2) Let it rest for 30 minutes, 3) Cook low and slow. This method saves you 7 hours of preparation time compared to traditional methods while delivering championship results.
Are your products gluten-free?
