Let me start by saying, this rub is a game-changer for anyone who loves BBQ. The first time I tried it on a rack of ribs, the balance of sweet and heat was just perfect—not too salty, not too spicy, but with enough depth to make every bite memorable.
What really stands out is its versatility. I’ve used it on everything from smoked chicken to grilled veggies, and it never disappoints. The chicken? Absolutely phenomenal. The rub creates a beautiful crust with just the right hint of heat, and when paired with a sweet BBQ glaze, it’s pure magic.
That said, it’s not without its quirks. On pork ribs, I found it a tad overpowering if applied too heavily. But here’s the trick: go light, and let the meat shine. For brisket and steak, though? It’s a no-brainer—this rub delivers that authentic Memphis-style flavor without any artificial junk (MSG-free and gluten-free!).
The price is another win. For the amount you get, it’s a steal compared to other premium rubs. I’ve tried countless blends, but Porkosaurus strikes that rare balance of flavor and value. Whether you’re spicing up breakfast bacon or smoking a whole butt, this rub earns its spot in your pantry.
Pro tip: If you love extra heat like I do, just add a pinch of cayenne to kick it up a notch. But even as-is, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’ll make you the backyard BBQ champion.
