Local source for dry rub?
Any good spots locally to get some dry rubs? I'm looking to pick some up as a gift.

If you make it yourself you'll actually know what's in it. I buy little gift bottles at the dollar store and full them with a little label on bottom and a real purdy bow. Nothing like handcrafted goodness.
Or you could go grab some preserved shit at home sense!
Sparkling Pools sells dizzy dust and shit for outrageous prices if you're into that!

I was actually looking for this particular rub..it used to be sold at patio perfect plus but they no longer have it. My father picked a big jug of it up a few years ago, loves it, and forgot it in Florida on his last trip down there. Anyway, it's not for me, I'm just trying to find something he would like and in time for fathers day tomorrow!

I generally cut the salt in these things. I am currently working on a cinnamon rub for ribs.7TH STREET BARBECUE’S MAGIC DUST
This rub, from 17th Street Barbecue in Illinois, is one of the best rubs ever. I use it on the brisket, ribs and chicken wings, and they say they use it in everything except ice cream. Their cookbook Peace, Love & Barbecue is one of the most popular barbecue books available. You can order the rub online or make your own.
- ½ cup paprika
- ¼ cup fine kosher salt
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup chili powder
- ¼ cup cumin
- ¼ cup granulated garlic
- 2 tbsp mustard powder
- 2 tbsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp cayenne
1. Combine all ingredients together. Store in a tightly covered container. Makes about 2 cups

Search online for Mild to Wild Hot Sauce. They are in NS and pretty sure they carry that line. If not, try Sparkling Pools and Spas in Dartmouth. They may have something.

Re: Local source for dry rub?
Thanks for the input fellas, but I didn't end up getting anything. I was out to Sparkling Pools & Spas this morning...just about choked when I saw the price of charcoal there. It was the same stuff Costco sells for $11.99, only they were selling it for $23.99

I bet their reaction was the same when they went to Costco, lol.
