This is really an ideal sampler set for the rib lover's in your family to decide on a favorite and then stock up. We regularly sell these top four selections in 1 and 5 lb. sizes for competitions and large family gatherings.

This spice set includes:

1. Memphis Style Dry Rib Rub - made from a homemade Memphis recipe and is meant to be used on ribs. The hallmark of a classic Memphis style BBQ is that the ribs are cooked for a long time until the meat becomes so tender that it practically falls off the bone. This is our house favorite and we love it because it's salt free and packs just enough subtle heat.
2. Kansas City BBQ Rub - the unmistakable signature of the classic Kansas City BBQ Ribs is in the thick, sweet rub that contains brown sugar. What changes is the flavor of the wood used in smoking and even the cuts or pork or beef that the BBQ Master wants to use.
3. North Carolina BBQ Rub - Kansas City and Memphis may be better know for barbecue but the third are of the country where there is a distinctive barbecues flavor is in North Carolina. Now I didn't say "the Carolinas" but specifically the North Carolina area.This is a classic North Carolina rub.
4. Pork Stank - When it comes to using Pork Stank as a pork rub you can apply the rub in advance with some people liking to apply it 8-24 hours before smoking. The truth is that the majority of the rub's molecules are too large and will penetrate less than a 1/2" into the meat during this time. A good pork rub is meant more as a surface treatment for flavor and to create the bark. I like to apply the rub just before cooking in combination with a thin layer of oil (olive, canola or vegetable oil all work well) as most of the flavors in the rub are oil soluble (dissolves easily). Spread the rub generously on the thicker portions of the shoulder.
