I think you should have put an "everything" button..... Stuff on the smoker usually gets a rub of some sort, burgers get seasoned salt, steaks get Worcestershire, grilled chicken gets marinade, and so on.

Almost always a rub of some variety, varies depending on the type of meat and the mood of the day.

Like most here, the seasonings change depending on the cut or species. A real mix of everything, except that I never use "nothing".

[MN-Smoker]

I use rubs, but usually my own mix.

My wife likes to buy the premade rubs, but I like to mix and match my own.

For those of you that make your own "rub", if they are say for a non traditional BBQ meat, is there usually a sweet component?

Brown sugar

I use Montreal on steaks and burgers though lately I have been using a mix of kosher salt, pepper, onion and garlic on the burgers.  I have used store-bought rubs and made some of my own for chicken and pork.  It seems I tend to go more toward the sweet side when I make my own rub.   I have learned a lot of new ways to prepare meat since joining Pelletfan and I really like trying out new ideas shared on this forum.

Non-traditional? You mean like jackalope quarters?

I grew up only using garlic salt and pepper on everything and I always had good BBQ,  now I like to try all different kinds of rubs and the BBQ is still good.  My daughter loves to taste test the rubs and she tells me what to use.  Always fun.

My everyday spice mix is salt, cayenne, black pepper and  garlic. I almost always add thyme with poultry. That's what I grew up with and it still works for me.  Sugar belongs in desserts.

That's pretty solid.


After salt and pepper, garlic powder seems to frequently make the list of any rub or seasoning mix.

After that...
paprikia
cumin
onion powder
chili powder
cayenne

...are all popular choices.
