I have been using Head Country Sweet and Spicy rub and like it. Was wondering if anyone else has used it and how it compares with Meat Church and Recteq rubs. The latter cost twice as much as the Head Country and just wondering if it’s worth it.

I do the same buying basic bulk spices. Most commercial rubs are mostly salt, which just so happens to be very inexpensive. Don't get me wrong, I've bought several different commercial rubs to try them out, but you're really paying a lot for seasoned salt, though they are convenient.I make my own and seldom use store bought rubs. I can make a couple pounds for the amount of money people charge for their rubs.
Love a good rub!I use this recipe to make the rub and sauce. Easy and very good. Like everything just add or Adjust to suit your taste. Part or smoking is to experiment. Keep a note book with your process to keep,improving and know what to do or shouldn’t the next time
I used to buy commercial to figure out the ingredients I prefer, now I make my own and I can adjust to get my flavors right. I love smoked paprika but commercial rubs don't have enough and I can get bulk paprika and smoke myself, I will put on side while smoking pork or steak and that adds a meat flavor, same with sea salt.I do the same buying basic bulk spices.

Thanks! You are the only one that actually answered my question. Confirms what I suspected. I’ve compared ingredients in several different brands and the Head Country seems to have more ingredients that I prefer. I’ve heard their BBQ sauce is good too.I use Head Country Rub on nearly everything. I used to make my own rubs but got tired of all the hassle of buying different ingredients. I honestly can't tell a lot of difference in most of the rubs. Most all of them use the same basic ingredients.
