Thanks, guys. The rub isn't local, and I don't know where you could get it other than directly. It was good, not too salty nor too sweet, but IMHO it was a bit bland. I had halved 2) racks so I had 4) samples to work with, and I used 4) rubs, 1) being my own recipe that I have posted before. I knew what they were, but my wife didn't, and she said she liked mine the best, as it tended to have a more savory flavor. I agreed with her, as one was overall just bland, one was to chili-powdery, and the Rub Co. had more flavor but wasn't overwhelming in any way. My rub seemed to just *pop* a bit more for some reason. I think it's the garlic powder, onion powder, and that I use celery salt instead of table salt that help out in that regard.

Bottom line: is wasn't bad, but I don't think I'd order up a 5 lb bag of it just yet.

thanks. i am not surprised that yours was the best. i think i will replace salt with celery salt as well. good luck.

i am not surprised that yours was the best.

Well, that makes one of us, because I sure was! You seem to like my cookin', even though you've never tried it!

[reinhard1]

i sure would not mind it. by your reciepies[and i have tried them] i dont have to try it. i always say a person is good at what they like to do. so your good. good luck.

Next time I do up some ribs I am going to split them up like you did and try your rub on half and some Head Country on the other half. I have been using Head Country for a while and I think its time to change things up a bit and the best way to decide is to have two different ways to choose from.

Smoking a Pork Butt right now as I type, and it should be ready to be coolered in about 1/2 an hour. I'll be serving it Memphis style (again) w/ slaw and sauce on the side, on cheap white buns. Beans on the side, and leftovers all week!

Went to Famous Daves this week with my wife and daughter and another family. Had some ribs, and ralized how I have truly evolved from a year ago. I was evaluating texture, flavor, and did not use much sauce at all while eating, as opposed to just tearing into them and enjoying what I thought were the best ribs around. The more educated I become, the higher my expectations rise. Oh well. At least I can make my own ribs (which I think are better) for a fraction of the price now!

i dont even go there anymore. their ribs seemed to be too dry for me. and yes i too believe my ribs are better and people that eat them seem to agree not by what the say [i think everyone tries to be polite] but how much they eat. slow and easy and good company. good luck.
