Really appreciate your approach - laid back, gentle and not aggressive presentation that's very easy to relate to. Thanks for stepping in front of the camera to share this "triple-blind scientific study" of the top rubs on Amazon! Thumbs up!
Great to see you, once again! I enjoy your informative, comparative presentations so VERY much! Thanks for all you do, and KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING! PLEASE!!
I'm glad that you have your ship together, and produce such entertaining, yet informative vids.
Welcome back! Great video! I enjoyed learning about the different rub and enjoyed seeing the differences!
The BBQ Rub from killer hogs is the rub for BBQ not the “AP” rub. AP rub is just an “all purpose” salt pepper and garlic mixture. The BBQ Rub from killer hogs is the actual rub and it’s the best one I’ve ever used.
*edited 9/14 to address more common confusion*
OK. I'm started to understand why there was confusion. Here are some common themes I am hearing in comments.
1) “Why didn’t I use a different rub by Killer Hogs?” For the same reason I didn’t use a different rub by Special Ship or KosmoQ.
The premise of this video was to compare the rubs in Amazon’s top 5 best selling barbecue rubs list which is here (updated hourly):amzn.to/30eC4MyThat list is what I worked off of. There are a lot of great rubs I could have included had I just been looking for the 5 best rubs I could find, but again, that was not the point. The point was to used the ones on the Amazon best seller barbecue list.
Amazon is such a huge retailer that best selling on Amazon may very well translate to some of the best selling in the world so I thought it would be interesting to see if they were any good.
2)Some of you have questioned whether the KH AP rub was intended for pork. Pork is actually the first protein suggested on the bottle.
3)Some of you have also questioned whether KH AP rub was meant to be a stand alone rub. Again, the directions clearly state it is designed to stand alone but you can also combine it with others if you want. So It’s designed to be used either way. I personally (like many of you) think it’s optimally used combined with other flavors…
...which is exactly what I said and did in this video so I don’t really understand the confusion on this one. My guess is you guys are commenting before the video is over.
Either way, thank you for leaving the comment because it helped me understand the confusion. I'll try to do a better job of explaining these things in the future.
Baby Back Maniac Yeah I get that, my only thing is I don’t consider the “AP” seasoning a rub like the other ones it was up against. But I was just pointing out that it’s not that brands actually rub but as you stated I’m sure you realize that. Thanks for the video.
I was just about to leave this same comment, so now I won’t! Instead I’ll just say that I now buy Killer Hog’s “The BBQ Rub” by the five pound bag because we like it on almost everything we smoke. Great vid as always. Scott
Yup 5 pounds at a time for me too. Killer hogs is my favorite rub. I like the hot rub Malcom does too.
Homecooking82 I like the killer rub but must say kosmo has it beat.
I really appreciate your family friendly nature!
Love the video. Always good to get some honest opinions on store bought rubs. I like that you mentioned the saltiness. That's been my beef (or pork or chicken) with bought rubs. I always feel like I need to do something to them to offset the saltiness. Mostly I just make my own at home. Would love to see a cool video about homemade sauces and rubs. Keep up the good work! Always entertaining.
Finally got to see your video and love it. Great video man. Missed ya.
Awesome ship right there! I have the Cow Cover and never thought to try it on pork, but will now so thank you!
So glad to see you back making videos!
Thanks Brent! Appreciate it!
I really enjoy your videos, keep putting them out
Justin I love comparisons, and this was a Great idea for one. I don’t think you can go wrong with either one. Thanks for sharing
Thanks MeatCranium
Great stuff Justin! I am flat out a @Kosmos fan... I love all that he does!
Great job Justin. Great break-down on those rubs and looks like you ended up with some great ribs out of your experiment! That pit is the ship brother!
Glad you enjoyed it. Wait, you aren't bull shipping me, are you?
Great to see you back and your videos. Can’t wait to see what you do next
Thanks alot!
Glad you’re back. Love your videos and ideas. 👍
Thanks Doug!
Great to see you making videos once again and this one was another fantastic video Justin. I have not tried Killer Hog rubs, so I'll be getting me some of that. I personally didn't care for the Byron Butt rub when I tried it. And yes, I love everything KosmosQ has put out for rubs and sauces. I loved the outtake at the end!!! See ya soon my friend!
Thanks buddy. Miss you
Hey Justin glad to see you back. Hope you and the family are doing well. I definitely have to check out some of those rubs soon!
Good stuff Justin, good to see you're back ! Look forward to your videos for sure. Cheers brother
Thanks man
The comparing is very useful, great video. Thanks Justin
Justin-Enjoyed the channel and the topics you cover. Thanks for the rub throwdown.
Experimentation is one of my most favorite things about smoking meat! Good job Justin.
Great video, love that you tried the cinnamon rub also, sometimes you get a real winner of a rub by trying different and unique things!
There seems to be some confusion about the premise of this video. That's on me. Let me clarify. I recently found out Amazon keeps an updated best sellers list of just about every category of products they sell. As luck would have it, BBQ rubs are one of them. Here is that list...
Top 5 BBQ SEASONINGS (Updated hourly): amzn.to/30eC4My
Once I saw that list, I had an idea for a video. I thought it would be fun to buy whatever the top selling bbq rubs are and give them a shot and see which one I liked best. To clarify, this isn't MY list. They are simply the top 5 best selling bbq rubs on amazon that are appropriate to use on pork which was my meat of choice for this experiment (since that's what most of my experiments are about.)
This was just a side-by-side comparison of the top selling rubs on Amazon from their list. The market has spoken (and because of this list, we know what the market likes), I thought it would be fun to compare them. That's as deep as it goes.
Thanks for watching, guys. I'll try to be more clear in the future.
Baby Back Maniac I thought you made it perfectly clear what you were doing.
Baby Back Maniac, if ya like a little more spice you might check out chupacabra rub on amazon. Made by two gringos in Texas.
sucks you had to do all that clarifying, thought most of us got it, hope you didn’t get too much ship about it!
You hit the nail on the head with the K.H. AP Rub review. It's definitely a base layer, not intended as a stand-alone rub. Malcom Reed always puts a layer of AP and a layer of something else, usually his The BBQ Rub.
Great to see ya back! Nice informative video. I’ve been wondering about Kosmos rub,now I think I’ll give it a try. BTW, the new camera done a great job.
Thanks alot! Have a great weekend.
Great to see you back! Awesome video, please don't make us wait too long for your next one =) You are correct about the AP rub being a base coat you add first. I watch Malcolm's channel and he always uses another rub after applying the AP. Could you do a video of hanging ribs in the verticle? Maybe a comparison with the PBC.
Thanks Rio. Several people have asked about the rib hanging so I'll definitely put it on the list. A couple of folks also told me that about AP. Good info about Malcolm. Good to know. Makes sense. Thanks
Like so many have said, AP is All Purpose SPG rub. You finally got there with the approach to base later. Malcolm knows his stuff and if you spend some time watching his videos you would see he uses the AP as a base and then covers with his BBQ rub which is an awesome rub. I use it all the time and works great on ribs. Kosmo’s honey rub is another if you like the sweeter flavor and combine with his Hot for a little sweet heat.
Always enjoy your videos👍👍
Great video. Loving the B roll dude!
Thanks a lot.
Good comparison! I have used 3 of the 5 you showed and didn’t buy any of them on Amazon. LOL The BBQ shop I go to, has a great selection and the Kosmo’s, Killer Hogs and Byrons all have less sugar and that is the flavor I like! Looking forward to the next video!
Welcome back! Great video as always! I actually own a few of those rubs good stuff!
Thanks Rich. Good to be back!
Really like these comparison videos. I use the AP as a base rub or binder rub. Put it on, let the ribs sweat and then add the next layers. Great for what it is. I have used that cinnamon danish rub as a finishing rub on apple flavored ribs, worked great for that. Usually use it on my breakfast bagels though, LOL. Kosmos is my favorite of the ones you had though. Mix that with the Dirty Bird rub and you got yourself a fantastic blend. Great video, thanks!
So, if I understand correctly, these are Amazon's top 5.. What I would rather know is Justin's top 5! Thanks for all the great videos,
God bless you man!
Great video Justin, your editing is better, you'll get there eventually. 😂 All kidding aside the jerk rub sounds cool, and kosmos sounds good. I got the pit boss apple butter rub which I had to mix with something same reason.
Good to see you back!
lol. Thanks Pickles. Good to be back.
Never used Kosmos Cow Cover on Pork, however I love their Pork Injection and Dirty Bird rub is my go to for Pork, highly recommend. Great video Justin!
Thank you so much man, I love your channel and every video you put out! I'm thinking about smoking a chuck roast, any tips? Plan on shredding it and making sandwiches with it.
Nice to see you post again Justin you have been missed. Now let me finish watching. ✌ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Loved your comparison video as far as the amazon world is concerned. I do a ton of shopping on there myself and look at reviews first before I purchase. You taking this a step further as a real BBQ guy should make anyone comfortable with a purchase of any of those rubs to try out.
Thanks man.
I just love how people watch your video but don't listen to what you say. IT'S A TOP FIVE VIDEO. Great video Justin, keep up the great work my friend.
Thanks man. I think a lot of them are watching them at work without sound.
Great to have you back 😄 How all is well
Awesome video! Great comparison!
I have used the killer hog AP Rub as a base rub many times. It works real well with his killer hog The BBQ Rub. Also Kosmos has a Honey Chipotle Killer Bee Rub that works well on ribs. Great video though I like to see how the different flavor profiles play out at the same time and conditions. Good job.
Awesome! Great comparison! Cheers!
Thanks BBM for putting yourself out there and doing your videos , as always gives us something to think about when trying out NEW ways to smoke/grill . people have too remember its about LEARNING other ideas..........as it is said in the USMC adapt and move forward.............
Dude!!! Your setup is nice!!!!
You tha man Justin. I know you were full after all those ribs! A happy babybackmaniac lol great video as always. I really enjoyed it
Thanks for the comparison! I snagged some wonderful rubs off the clearance rack at meijer. Urban accents red tandoori(its amazing on everything),the American 6 fire and seafood rubs, a Cajun life seafood and mesquite rubs, modern mill sweet & spicy rub, spicology Mediterranean rub, and some other things I’m not digging through the pantry to find. Walked out spending 30 dollars on 100 dollars of spices. The clearance rack is a gold mine.
Great review of the rubs. I agree with killer hogs A.P. It is a good base to layer on top of . Love your LSG .. think I need to sale a few kettles and get me one.
You don't have any to spare though. lol
Nice comparison! Try it again with same brands different rubs that weren't in top 10 but intended for the ribs specifically. Seems many people including myself wanna see that!
Thank you very much. Awesome video
I love the production in your videos.... I agree with you, Killer Hogs AP Rub is more of a base rub. I go easy on it because it is salty (I love it with scrambled eggs). I have some Cow Cover but never thought to try it on ribs. I’ll have to try that soon.
Nice review! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching, SSBBQ. Have a great weekend.
Love the review
We need more of this “Jason” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video
You threw me for a bit of a loop when you tossed down the cruise ship after seasoning with the special shi...p rub.
First time I found that stuff was a month or so ago in Alaska when we stopped in Skagway on a cruise. Didn't realize it was available on Amazon. Def picking some up!
love it Justin.....that was a lot of fun....need some laser lights and fog machines with that music.
Great info that Cow Cover goes well on Pork as I wasn’t a huge fan of it on beef. I will give it a try!
It's more of a all purpose rub in my book. At least when it comes to bbq meats.
That Walkerswood goes good on just about everything, really good stuff
Mr. Maniac, first off, glad your back! Great vid.😁 now I think you may be costing me more money. Weber Summit Charcoal, check. Your review of it pushed me to purchase one. Don’t worry I waited a year. Great results with it by the way.
been thinking about moving on to a stick burner. Please give a review of that beautiful smoker. Because we all need more than one way to BBQ/ Smoke our meat. Take care Jason😂. Sorry I just like that story.
I've tried dozens and dozens of rubs the years and found that I like killer Hogs the best. I use their all-purpose rub quite a bit and love their hot BBQ rub on just about everything I smoke
Thanks for the feedback, Steve. Appreciate you watching.
Your editing is great Justin and awesome comparison video on the rubs. That would be great if you did some more videos like these but into different categories like top 5 Brisket,Rib,Chicken etc... Victory lane, Meat church, Suckle busters, kosmo q, heaven made products, and many more. Just comparing the rubs and what stands out to you as the best !!!
Thanks King. I appreciate the suggestion.
This is why I make my own rubs. I’m not a big fan of salt so I like to control the level I use. Plus it’s cheaper to make your own.
Definitely cheaper.
Great review Justin and man the color on some of those racks were beautiful! I've used that Walkers Wood before on Fire Cracker grilled shrimp and loved it! Nice to know that Special Shi(p) rub smells good too LOL 😂Great video Justin!
Thanks Rus. I appreciate you watching my friend.
i know im randomly asking but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my login password. I love any help you can give me.
@Allan Jayceon Instablaster =)
Nice video Justin, great comparison video..... I have been wanting to try the whole line of Special Sh*t rubs, that Killer Hogz AP rub is a little salty by it self, I use it as an under base and add a sweet rub on top. Great video again, I need to get back to doing videos myself now that my arm has healed from shoulder surgery.
Thanks Daryl. As a base rub, it's fine. Just not as much of an AP rub as some of the others. Glad you are on the mend. I agree it's salty.
Love your videos!
Would you be able to make another comparison video on salt free rubs?
great video as usual!! now im wanting to try jerk ribs and cinnabon ribs !
Lol
You are correct about the AP Rub: Malcolm Reed always uses it as a base rube and then adds one or more other layers on top. I get that you were just using Amazon's best sellers and really enjoyed the video.
Dave Pruett thanks Dave. Appreciate you watching
Hey Justin, as always enjoy your videos.. good ship. Realize this review was based on Amazons best sellers.. but Killer Hogs also has a BBQ rub that I think you'd really enjoy on ribs. It's flavor profile and coloring is more in line with the other seasonings use.
Thanks for the informative and funny videos!!
And now i see the killer hogs rubs had already been mentioned and you responded earlier in the comments.
Justin, great video. Try the Walkerswood on chicken, her slathers and marinades are awesome and authentic. Your videos are awesome, hope to join the BBQ tubers soon.
Great video Justin and great to have you back! Everyone knows Malcom's AP rub is a base coat...use his The BBQ Rub over the top for some amazing ribs... KosmoQ is great as well, but for Ribs you should be using his Chipotle Killer Bee or one of this other pork rubs... In my opinion, Malcom and Kosmo have the best rubs on the market, with Meat Church in a close second... @howtobbqright @kosmoq
That Lone Star is a beautiful monster! On his channel, How to BBQ Right, Malcom Reed uses his AP rub exactly as you said, as a base. He them goes over it with his The BBQ Rub when he's doing ribs.
Totally makes sense! Thanks David.
Was just about to say, Killer Hogs has one called The BBQ rub that would have been a fairer comparison
@@Mchnnc1234 Agreed.
Was worried about you. Glad you're back. Hope all is well
I love that smoker!
Awesome video
What’s your opinion of the LSG vertical offset vs the tube?
What got my attention was how colorful all the ribs were. I love Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub. I haven't even tried Kosmos yet. I need to get out more. lol The jerk ribs looked so good. Like somebody told me about a steak, set any of those in front of me and I will consume. Nice job on the comparison and I was surprised to hear that you don't know ship.
Lol. Thanks buddy
How about a review of the lone star grill? I know you’re a huge fan of Kamados, is it a kamado killer? Is the smoke profile significantly different in an offset vs. a kamado or even a kettle?
I am a Kosmo's fan. I have Wing Dust, Cow Cover, Killer Bee, Peach Habenro sauce & Pineapple Heat sauce. Cool different video.
Thanks for always watching, Bruce. I appreciate it.
I tried similar experiment, Byrons just made everything taste like polish sausage. I found Kosmos Honey Killer Bee was the best for store bought rub as it has a lil sweetness. I've been trying marinades and rubs to find a perfect blend. I usually do 2-3 racks a week on a Yoder pellet smoker, and test flavors on friends and family. 2 years in Pellets just don't have the flavor profile like a stick burner! Good, bad, mediocre...its all fun!
Great video. Love the shirts.
Even though they aren't plaid? ;-)
Baby Back Maniac yes, even though they aren’t plaid, which goes against everything I stand for!
Whats the salt content on Killer Hogs AP Rub? Been try to find it with no luck... Have anybody tried that and Fiorella Jack Stacks Kansas City AP seasoning? How do they compare, which one is saltier and which one is better and why? Thanks for advance if somebody can help me.
Great video Justin your right the Killer Hogs AP rub is a base layer, their BBQ rub is awesome with it. Now if you use the Killer Hogs AP rub on hamburgers by itself they are amazing. Keep up the great work. Love your videos
I could totally see that being great on hamburgers. Thanks for watching!
When you watch Malcom's videos he uses the AP rub a lot of times as a base for everything else. But yes, it can stand alone for many other foods
Love Kosmo Q. Try his rib glaze. Apple cherry habanero is awsome.
Thanks Daniel
Another great video. I'm just starting on geting used to talking to the camera and learning the different angles for shots and stuff to make a halfway decent video.
Nice video Justin. I use killer hogs ap on everything ( as a base ) it’s like bbq crack. I also have Susie q Santa Maria rub and your right, they are very similar. I haven’t tried any of the other rubs but highly recommend killer hogs.
I need to try more of there stuff. Several people now have told me he uses it exactly like I suggested so I am glad I'm not crazy.
Baby Back Maniac try the steak rub. I’ve never been asked “what did you season this with “ until I used killer hogs steak rub. Heath Riles and kosmos and harry soo’s rubs are on my list to try next.
Man, now I want all those rubs (and an offset smoker).
I'm personally a fan of the special shi(p). My Mom got me the whole BCR lineup for Christmas and they're all great.
Did you taste the seasonings by themselves to see how salty they were and adjust the amount you put on the ribs accordingly?
The Killer Hogs AP is a great base for everything. I use it lightly on ribs then add the BBQ rub or even better there is a rub called "MOJO" which I think is fantastic!
yeah kosmos for the win. i love all of kosmos products. i feel that he has a really great product. you should try his rib glazes, oh my so good.
Thanks for the tip.
you cant just not do anything for awhile then show up with something awesome. thats bullSHIP! 👍👏
Ha Ha Ha
Pretty much always make my own rub with brown sugar and spices. But yeah, it's nice to have a pre-made rub when you just don't feel like making one. McCormick's barbecue rub is actually pretty good too for a mass produced rub.
Yeah, a lil SPG with the McCormicks chipotle and some chili flakes and a lil tarragon with hotted up Buffalo wing sauce on wings makes some killer wings. I'll be doing them tomorrow.
Yeah, I really like "The Rub" by GQ BBQ and the All Purpose rub by Simply Marvelous. If this video had been titled "Comparing my favorite AP rubs of all time" They would have been in the top 5. Thanks for watching.
Great comparison video Justin.
Thanks alot! Glad you liked it.
7:17 It takes at least two more clicks to fully test your tongs.
Justin, Love your personality the way you just talk to us, never talking down to us. I know the premise was to look at amazon's top 5 selling rib rubs. I thought you might mention Malcom Reeds videos @howtobbqright , where he describes his rubs. His rubs are awesome as are Harry Soo's @ slap your daddy bbq, some other great rubs & sauces I have discovered are from @atbbq Chef Tom, I would love to see you use rubs from his site. I love cooking Baby Backs, I will be ordering me one of your sweatshirts soon
Holy Ship 🚢 they all look great. I wonder...is it the smoker, the rub, or the Justin? haha. Great comparison video!
lol. Thanks alot man. That's good ship, right there.
I put cow cover on almost everything I eat. Love it on veggies as well.
Hey in fairness Mr. Maniac the AP Rub is a pre rub its only for pre seasoning Its Salt Pepper Garlic. Malcom Reed ( killer hogs) has a barbeque rub that is dyno might! Oh I see you discovered that. Thanks for this! Always enjoy comparisons.
