I honestly stopped looking at prices a long time ago. If I happen to notice a sale when I'm at the store I'll grab a few extras for the freezer but most of the time I buy what I need when I need it.
Thanks for posting this. I ordered 2 bags of Bold and 2 bags of Bourbon Barrel for $52 shipped. Might not be the cheapest per pound but I can't get those flavors locally and to me $52 for 80lbs isn't bad at all.
I clean the outside pretty well.... doesn't take but a minute. Grease dripping down the front just looks sloppy to me plus I like to take care of my things.
I have the full collections from Meatchurch, Hardcore Carnivore, and Lane's BBQ. Enjoy them all and they have their place... I used rubs on literally everything, not just smoked or grilled foods.
