Thanks for this video Mike, it's very informative and well done considering it's all one take and just off the top of your head. I would love to see you make more videos like this in the future, especially now that you aren't selling your product any more. Lots of us who relied on your products over the last decade or so will need to go back to the drawing board and start learning how to make our own blends. There truly isn't anything else on the market that even comes close to Oakridge products. Thank you so much for sharing your skills!
Awesome video, thank you very much. I always try to make my own rubs but for some reason I screw it up one way or another so your information is very helpful. Would love to see more in-depth videos on this topic. Thanks again.
Mike, I really miss your Gold Edition Pork & Beef rub here in Australia. If you ever decide to sell a book with the recipe or offer an online course - count me in.
This video is tremendous. I've been making my own rubs for years (certainly not on this level!). Would love some insight into your high grade paprika. It is certainly an essential for certain rubs. Thanks for sharing this information. Saddened to hear you were going to end your business run.
We all miss Oakridge BBQ!!! Thank you for this video, it's been HUGE inspiration. I've been trying my best to emulate a few of your rubs by memory and I think I'm getting pretty close to landing the secret weapon chicken and pork combination but I'd have to let you be the judge. I understand the company has unfortunately closed but any more video's would be much appreciated Mike, failing that, don't be surprised if you get an email from me trying to pick your brain about BBQ rubs!
Mike, really missing Oakridge!! Starting to work on percentages to try to get something that resembles Secret Weapon, but have a dumb question. How do you go about tasting all the different test batches? Just tasting it by itself, actually cooking something with it, or a little of both? BTW, thanks so much for making this video!!
I’ve had great success with your products here in Oz. Thanks for sharing! My only question is you were referring to sugar. I’m interested to know what level of sugar in a rub makes it a ‘sweet rub’ as opposed to just carrying flavour you’re referring to?
Thanks Shire Smokers! The actual amount of sugar is very relative. It greatly depends on the other ingredients in the blend. For example, if you have high amounts of spicy ingredients, you can use higher percentages of sugar before it becomes "sweet". Conversely, if the blend contains other "sweet" ingredients like cinnamon or granulated honey, then it doesn't take nearly as much sugar before a rub becomes sweet. So, you just have to play around with the blend until it balances the way you want it to. Hope this helps and makes sense. Thanks again!
The steakhouse rub is my go to, its so good
Yes please make the series!!
Thanks again, Rich! I'm working on the second video soon!

Great content. Hope to see part 2 sometime. Oakridge rubs are the best and love the the Chili rub the best.

How about celery seed? I didn’t hear you mention it. I find it quite nice in my rub and seasoning.

How long do you tumble the rub for?
We tumble each batch for 10 minutes.
Very informative video. Definitely interested in more.
I really miss your jerk rub. I can't find anything like it. Hoping you come back if things get better in the world.
Mike - Why not do some online paid lessons where you teach people how to make rubs? Say we get all the base ingredients and you guide us etc.
Do you sell hats??????
We don't have any hats currently. I've been thinking about having some made...
@@OakridgeBBQ being an extra large fat guy none of the shirts ever fit so I do hats….. nobody carry’s 3xLT shirts ….
@@IzzyEatz - I feel you, Brother! I'm an extra large short fat guy!! LOL!
@@OakridgeBBQ love your rubs!!! Videos are excellent very helpful on my experiments of making rubs
By the looks of it you need to go back in business.
