Title: Jeff's Rub & Sauce
Post by: es1025 on May 15, 2013, 06:01:37 AM
Has anyone purchased the recipes from Jeff, the creator of the smoking meat web site?

Sounds interesting and the recipes have a lot of great reviews.

Thoughts?

I ended up buying the recipe for the rub and the bbq sauce. I made a batch of the rub and it was outstanding worth the cost. I would highly recommend it. For 18.95, you get the two recipes and a smoking course. You can find this at www.smokingmeat.com

i think most of you are on the smokingmeat forums as well.

btw, i bought jeff's book. A very good read.

The link above is wrong, it's actually at http://www.smoking-meat.com/ (note the "-" in the name...)

Great catch, I guess I should have used the preview button. Have you tried the rub? Its good on any meat or poultry. Have not tried on fish yet.

Is there a Non-Disclosure Agreement= that everyone signs? I'm wondering why nobody has posted a copy of the recipe.

It's more like an agreement, Brian.  Jeff sells his recipe, and asks that buyers respect his business by not giving it away.  I purchased it, and have no problem not posting it.  I don't sell any of my recipes, so I post them for everyone.  If my business was to sell recipes, I wouldn't want people giving them away, for free, either I guess.  I think it was $18.  It's quite good, but there are several on here that are just as good.  One thing he does, is send a bunch of extra material and updates to recipes, so it's kind of a "lifetime subscription" thing.

That is what I assumed, after wearing out Google looking for it. I am also at a loss on finding a copy-cat recipe for McCormicks Broiled Steak Seasoning. I can find lots of listings for Outback steak seasoning or McCormicks Montreal Steak Seasoning. If anyone has a seasoning blend close to the Broiled Steak I'd love to have it. If you have never tasted it, it is Like a course Lowreys Season Salt with a pepper blend and a large portion of tasty stuff I cant figure out. It's excellent on beef.

I too liked Jeff's recipes. I personally think the cost it worth it. After all, he is hosting a website with over 1 million posts. I will say this, I thought Aldi's ketchup works better than Heinz. Just my 2 cents worth.

Have you used his rub and Meathead's Memphis Dust? How does one compare to the other, if so? Of course, I'm tempted to buy the recipe just as a thank-you for the mac-and-cheese recipe I found on his site.  :D

Worth the $.  I use his recipes as just one more weapon in the arsenal! ;)

The 18.95 is worth it. Jeffs bbq sauce is really good.  You get the rub and bbq sauce recipe.

I frequently use jeffs ideas for smoking poultry.

I purchased the rub recipe and use it on everything that I smoke.  I have even used the rub on other meats that I throw on the Weber grill.   I use the sauce recipe on occasion, but more often that not, I just go for Sweet Baby Rays.

Very good rub. Been using it for years on meat and poultry. Worth the money not only for the rub and sauce recipes, but to also keep the excellent site alive. I even use it in my eggs.

Do his recipes have a lot of sugar in them?  I have thought about buying the recipes, but for health reasons avoid sugar, which knocks out most rubs and sauces.

Yes, Eric - brown sugar.

It also has chili powder in it, which I'm not a fan of in my rubs.  After buying numerous bottles of rubs and finding out after the fact that they had stuff in them I didn't like or want, I've been trained to read the micro print list of ingredients.

Same way with MSG, Dave - it's in a lot of store-bought rubs, too.  I have to watch for that one; triggers migraines in the wife!

We only use Aldi ketchup and mustard now.

Yeah, I found out the hard way that I've gotta watch out for MSG in rubs too - it makes my heart go crazy (and not in a good way).  That's why I prefer to make my own, but sometimes, a friend gets me a bottle of rub, so I feel obliged to smoke something for them with it.

I would try memphis dust, no chili powder!

Is Jeff's recipe still a go to for anyone? It's been a while since this post was made and I'm wondering if there is rubs and sauces that are equal or better.

Tim, I like jeff’s bbq sauce. It has a nice kick, goes with almost anything.  I have to dust off thr rubs and make a batch. I found a rub from Jeffs book, big bald rub, and its really good.

Hi have been using both the rub and sauce for several years and really like it. I use it on many things but especially on pork and chicken. Pulled chicken with his rub and sauce is awesome!
There is a lot of stuff out there but for $18 or whatever it was, it has more than paid for itself.

Post by: Grady on October 04, 2018, 09:53:57 AM
I see that he has it on Amazon now. I wouldn't imagine that he'll be selling a ton of it @ $10.00 for 1 container of rub and $14.00 for a bottle of sauce.  :o

Post by: es1025 on November 24, 2018, 09:48:49 AM
Saw that, I think the $20 bucks for two rub recipe and the sauce recipe is a steal. Real good web site. Jeff will even email the recipes if you lost them.

Jeff's stuff is good. I modified his BBQ sauce recipe and have people asking if I'll sell them some ;-)

How spicy is Jeff's rub?  My little one doesn't like spice so I'm searching for options that provide flavor without too much spice.  OTOH, if I make it spicy that means more for me ha.

It's really not very spicy at all. He has provisions in the recipe if you want essentially no spicyness.

Unless you smother a thin pork chop with it, it is not that hot.
