Barbecue Dry Rub
This easy homemade barbecue dry rub is an all-purpose, lick-your-lips seasoning mix that you can shake on all the things. It is our go-to dry rub!
Homemade BBQ Dry Rub
Easy, versatile, and flavorful barbecue dry rub for almost anything you want to grill. Burgers. Ribs. Pork Chops. Chicken. It all goes with this awesome homemade seasoning mix. Pretty much anything you find in our Traeger Recipes collection would be better with some of this on it, so don't be shy!
What can you use this dry rub on?
All the things, including but not limited to:
- Grilled Wings. Get them. Eat them. Love them.
- Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin - need I say more?
- Smoked Beef Roast for shredded bbq beef. Get it.
If you need some other ideas for just what to put this rub on, I have some great ones for you!
Our Grilled Pork Tenderloin is perfect for this, and while you are at it, make it with my Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes, and this Perfect Grilled Asparagus.
I finally convinced my husband to share his "secret" bbq seasoning mix that he uses on almost ALL of our grill-bound meats, and I can't wait for you to try it!
We really don't have any secret recipes - just to be clear. The entire reason I started this blog way back when in 2010 was because I was tired of writing and re-writing my recipes to share with friends and family, and wanted somewhere central to point them to.
The rest, as they say, is history! 6 years, hundreds of published recipes, several children, a new career, and many many adventures later, you're all still stuck with me here.
Barbecue rubs are so easy to make, and very easy to customize. If you want this one a little spicier, you can increase the cayenne pepper in the mix.
Less spicy? Just omit it.
Have a favorite seasoning that is omitted from this mix? Toss some in.
Experiment with your cooking, and have fun with it! I know next time I'll be throwing in some bacon salt that I just found at the store today. YUM.

@Chris Spurgeon, I use tops from parmasean cheese!!spin on nicely!!
How can a serving have 0 sugar if 1/3cup brown sugar is used??
Hi Ty! I think you are reading the nutrition info incorrectly. It says SUGAR: 12g in the nutrition area. Thanks!
I use a 1/2 pint mason jar to put my rub in. I cut the top off a cardboard 1/2 gl milk container with the plastic screw cap. Once you cut the top off the milk, lay it out flat, trace the top of the 1/2 pt jar, cut out the gasket, put on the jar, tighten with a jar ring. Good Luck.
