I really like your videos and appreciate you making/sharing them! You not only share tips and recipes, like this rub, but also explain the background details such as why one shouldn't put sugar in the rub but rather in the sauce at the very end of cooking. One suggestion, since you're providing instructions during the videos is to use the music as an intro and exit to the videos. In the background during the video, the music detracts from your instruction. Not a huge deal, but I think it would make your videos even better. Thanks again!
I have the same coffee grinder and use it for my spices AND my coffee! to clean it between uses, I just throw some plain(uncooked!) white rice in and blitz it, then maybe do that twice and I can then use it for my coffee without any trace of spices! ~simples~ :)
+cvoseguera1 Nope, the difference between these forms is merely texture, powder will have a flour-like consistency and granulated will be coarser. Either will be fine in a dry bbq rub. Thanks for watching!
Hello, I'm having a hard time looking for kosher salt here in London :( can i use regular table salt instead? if yes, would that be the same amount, less or more? Thanks so much!
+Monna Ray Fisher Yes, you can definitely use table salt instead, BUT you need to use less since weight wise, 1 tbsp of table salt doesn't equal 1 tbsp kosher salt. Here's a link to help you with the conversion rate: www.mortonsalt.com/article/salt-conversion-chart/
Realise it's a little late for a reply but if anyone else is wondering in the UK it's known as coarse or rock salt and is available in most supermarkets.
diceman199 You can add sugar to the rub, just be aware you won't get as nice of a color due to the sugar turning very dark during the cooking process. Which is why I recommend adding bbq sauce at the end of the cook.
Joe Laraza brown sugar adds the dark red glaze to the meat , it locks it in is what I’m told, the chili powder is for flavor I suppose. I like spicy so it doesn’t bother me. A lot of people add cumin which is super strong so I would add a little if you go that route.. some people add white and black pepper.. but brown sugar is KEY
When you say chilli powder i assume you mean Mexican chilli powder which is a blend of spices (cumin, paprika, oregano etc.) or is it pure dried ground chillies?
Nope, I use a coffee grinder to blend whole spices, but that's as close as I get. If you want to try a coffee rub, just add 2 tbsp to the basic BBQ dry rub recipe. Try it out on some meat - if you don't really taste any difference, add more for next time. If it's too strong, add less. Trial and error.

The chicken I baked last night went great with this rub! Thanks!

Nice tip!
Moorea fisherman...Andy ça 💯
I added brown sugar. It helps with getting a dark bark too
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks man!
Coffee grinder for the win!! Why didnt I ever think of that! Nice vid.
It's a time saver! Thanks for watching!
I use one pretty similar, but it calls for brown sugar. Your thoughts on using brown sugar for a rib rub?
i have learnt this one from you John and its my every time BBQ rub, and its absolutely lovely rub. love it to the bits. thanks a tonne
Can you use this as a flavouring for chips of
I'm trying your base rub and sauce on your Weber ribs for my buddies today. We'll be pretty drunk so I guarantee the ribs are going to taste awesome.
Nice, sounds like a good time! Just don't get too drunk before the ribs are done - don't want to screw them up! Not that I know from experience...
a nice..my favorite spices are here in this rub.
Does it make a difference if you use granulated garlic and onion instead of powder? Thanks!
+cvoseguera1 Nope, the difference between these forms is merely texture, powder will have a flour-like consistency and granulated will be coarser. Either will be fine in a dry bbq rub. Thanks for watching!
+TruBBQtv John Foley thank you John. Going to give it a try..
Do you recommend himalayan pink salt?

About to do my first ever smoking tomorrow. I saw you say add sweetness with the sauce but you could add sugar to this as an alternative?

I may try a honey baste in the last bit of cooking then
How long should you put the rub on before cooking?
An hour or two for thinner cuts. For thicker cuts, like pork shoulder, you can season a few hours before cooking.
I made this couple months ago n my family loves it
That's awesome! Remember to add your special ingredient to make it your own and don't tell anyone your recipe! Thanks for watching.
Great rub!!! thx for share with us.
+fvdl1972 Thank you and thanks for watching!
Do you have a recipe for Beef Ribs??? Please share it. Great Video
What's the purpose of adding chili powder? Is it mainly just to add a darker color to the finished cooked meat?
it adds a little color, but the main purpose is for flavor and a little spice.

it is usually pure dried ground chillies.
Thanks for the recipe.
nice rub ill have to try it out!
I'm looking for that coffee rub recipe . But can't find it . can you please share . and can I use on brisket ?
Sorry, I don't put coffee in my rub.
I thought I saw a video that you made. With coffee . But that's cool. I will try this one

I will try the simple one first. Thanks for the tips
I also use the coffee grinder. it is awsome .
that's a good base for building your own rub.
It sure is. Thanks for watching.
very good BBQ
NIce little fresh rub
+Texas Style Cuisine Thank you and thanks for watching!
Ok i guess it's ok. Will perhaps try the same and let my barbecue sauce do some sweetening when i am basting. 👍🤓
Hi can I use powdered salt?
You should be able to, but don't use the same amount. Use way less powdered salt. Or just buy some coarse sea salt.
This was such a good channel...too bad he doesn't upload anymore, must have gotten married.
You got a point!
I'm cutting back on sugar, so I'm happy to see that your recipe doesn't include any.

Took away some of the heat added some brown sugar with chopped onions wha lag that's good marinade
Store in freezer. It'll last longer and keep it fresher.

This wouldn’t be too spicy, would it? I got kids and they love ribs I just wanna make sure it’s not too much for them... you know?
I thought you said Chewbacca TV for a second then looked up and saw Will Wheaton & realised wrong franchise!

Where's the sugar to balance the saltiness?
Shanta Webb In the BBQ sauce. The rub is spicy/savory and then layered with sweetness on top with the sauce.
TruBBQtv John Foley, I see. Awesome! I bet it's delicious!
no sugar ??????????????????😳
Nope.
Dang it!
Your not kidding...
You can always add some sugar at the last few minutes of your bbq, if I"m not mistaken. It actually helps to prevent caramelization... right?
Why?! why would you do this to me?! Why mix with a fork? and with the points down... omg, the pain!
way to much salt
Your recipe is about 33% salt and there's no sugar. That's gross, man!!!
