I used this as a base layer rub on my Boston Butt. Adds just the right amount of flavor and heat. I also used it in a chicken salad and it was amazing with the Smoky Sauce.
Great flavor
The Elite BBQ Smoky Heat Rub is one of the best I tasted lately. It was so good that I bought before I left the class long with a few other rubs and sauces. Definitely will be using them in my cooking and recommend them.
Loved the rubs and sauces! They were not too salty, like so many rubs are. I also appreciate that they have MSG (if your rub doesn't, you don't know what you're doing). Definitely will be buying more!
love it
