Actually have not tried the Jim Baldridge seasoning, But have used the John Henry pecan on ribs, a chuck roast and a Boston Butt. I have also used John Henry Cherry / Chipotle rub on some ribs. I really like the pecan rub the best. I have also used it in bbq beans, and have tried the Texas BBQ rub, and did not care so much for it. I hope this helps, as is best to try some to see what you and your family really like. Lately I have also been adding McCormicks Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning, just a lite sprinkle after the mustard and rub. It adds a bit more kick and heat.
