Title: BBQ Rub Review - Holy Cow (Meat Church)
Post by: texasbrew on January 12, 2018, 05:13:28 PM: I figured that since there were a few sauce reviews I would try and throw a rub review out here so here goes...

1. Name of product - Holy Cow BBQ Rub

2. Purpose of the product â€“ beef rub

3. Pros and cons of product -
pros: This is a rub that is high in black pepper (as seen in the picture). The large amount of black pepper makes it a good match for beef.
cons: This rub is different from a lot of other beef rubs that I have used as it has no sugar in the rub. For those that like more of sweet/heat rub on their brisket this may not be a good match.

4. My impression - This is my go to rub for brisket and I like it as well on steaks. The rub creates a nice black bark on briskets that I smoke on the PG500.

5. Would you recommend this product - I can't say if I would recommend to anybody as it is black peppery (which I enjoy but others may not). I enjoy this rub because it turns out a brisket flavor that I enjoy and is consistent with the flavor of brisket that I prefer at my favorite BBQ restaurant - Corkscrew in Spring, TX.

Post by: texasbrew on January 13, 2018, 08:55:49 AM: We have an Ace Hardware store that has it on the shelf but I use it a bunch for steaks and brisket so I buy it directly from Meat Church website. It is $12 for the 1lb bag or $9 for the 10.5 oz shaker bottle (plus shipping). I checked their site and they do appear to have a retail store locator so it is possible that it is on the shelf at a store near you.

There are some folks that have used it for chicken but I have not (I am a bit of a bbq nerd as my social media stuff includes various bbq cooks, pit mfgrs., rub and sauce companies - I believe that is where I saw that it was used on chicken.)

Post by: wahoowad on March 08, 2018, 01:17:42 PM: This is also my go-to rub for brisket and beef ribs, and sometimes give a steak or burgers a sprinkle too! Did great on a rib roast too and will be going on my next one.

Another thing that appeals to me is they offer very reasonable shipping rates and fast shipping.
