Flying Swine Slap Apple Bourbon BBQ Rub 16 Oz - Butt Rub Seasoning, Grilling Spices, Dry Rubs, Beef Seasonings - Smoking Meats, Rib Rub, Brisket Rub, Pulled Pork & Chicken - No MSG & Gluten Free

I have my own rib rub I've refined and been using for a few years, but its pretty spicy and so I only use it when I know my guests will enjoy something with a fair amount of heat. I was looking for a good rub that would appeal to all kinds of rib lovers, and one that didn't have a bunch of chemicals and preservatives in it. Based on other reviews I gave Flying Swine a try and am glad I did. I put a pretty thick coat of the rub on a rack of babybacks and let them sit for three days. The rub worked into the meat nicely. Just before going into the smoker I gave them another light dusting. I used the "2-2-1" smoker method with pecan chips in the hopper. The result were juicy, delicious ribs that had a decent thin bark and a smoky sweet flavor. I gave my neighbor a few to sample and he gave them five out of five stars. Based on this I bought another bag and rubded three more racks of babybacks to feed to my family on Father's Day. Three days in big ziplocks after a nice coat of the rub, then into the smoker with a light dusting. Used pecan again. Again we had a nice, juicy smoky-sweet ribs. My entire family, from my picky-eater sisters, to my eat-anything brother in law all raved about the flavor of the ribs. You could still taste the pork, with the rub bringing in a great flavor profile and helping the smoker create a nice bark on the meat. Overall I highly recommend this rub for use on pork, the resulting flavor seems to appeal to various palates without compromise. I hope to do a pork butt soon using this rub.

I’ve been smoking meat for years and have used many many rubs. I used this rub on three Berkshire butts on my pit boss pellet smoker. During the smoke I had people coming over and raving just over the aroma. When I pulled the butts and sliced off bits of meat and fat with this rub, for myself and a few other connoisseurs, we just started laughing at how good this was. We just kept slicing off bites and laughing. The looks were of “OMG”. I am trying this rub on a slab of pork belly tomorrow. It has sugar in the rub so careful on temp. I did 250 for several hours and it was, IMO, one of the best tasting rubs I’ve ever used.I’m definitely a repeat buyer.

Um. I have decided to change my review of this rub. First of all, this rub literally has no color. Both of my butts for the 4th came out looking like rigor mortis had already sent in. Even at 225 the rub just melts off because of the insane amount of white sugar in this stuff. No thanks. I’ll won’t be ordering this Walmart rub again.

Like many of you (undoubtedly,) I was initially led to this product by several of the more popular BBQ channels on YouTube. Having waded through numerous "off the shelf" commercial smoking/barbecue rubs over the past few years - some good, many bad - I was anxious to try a product that some of the "most trusted" barbecue voices on the internet utilized and enjoyed. When I discovered that I could purchase this product through Amazon, I eagerly jumped at the opportunity.The product itself if nothing short of top notch. While those reviewers who mention the "sweetness" of this rub are certainly accurate, the exact flavor profile is rather complex, especially when used on meat that is then smoked. Sweetness is certainly present, but there is also a very nice salty/savory undertone, and a wonderful "round/meaty" note on the finish. The rub forms a wonderful, flavorful bark when applied to meats before smoking. The sweet notes of the rub work extremely well with pork (which was the primary use/intent of the rub's creators), but the underlying savory notes pair well with chicken and fish. I've yet to use the rub on beef, but I've seen videos/read recipes from those who have, with all praising the results. Flying Swine also makes a phenomenal "base" rub for those choosing to do their own experimentation and/or flavor layering, as is often the case in competition cooks.Word of this product and its quality apparently spread pretty quickly, as it soared to become the #1 spice product/rub on Amazon in late 2015, before completely selling out in the days before Christmas. When the company replenished its stock in early January 2016, I eagerly snatched up two more bags! All in all, you'd be hard pressed to find a better, more user-friendly "commercial" barbecue rub that meets the needs of both the backyard barbecuer and the competition cook.

WOW, am I glad I decided to order this. This was the first time I've used this brand or product. So glad I did!!!! I ordered the Sweet n' Spicy and the flavor was yummy. I would say more sweet than spicy though. Which is good because my husband doesn't handle spicy too well. I used this rub on a brisket, and everybody went on and on about the flavor. Will definitely be ordering again and trying out my flavors from this brand and continue tp post on my instagram account!!

I will buy this for years to come. I don't care for super sweet rubs so I was hesitant to buy this one but did because it mentioned spicy. It's the perfect combo of sweet and spicy (more on the hot side). Love it. Let the rub sit on the pork shoulder for 4 days prior. Wow. Just wow. Beautiful caramelized bark that didn't over cook on the smoker due to hugh sugar. Smoked at 225 to 250. Very happy.

I used this on my very first smoked butt and it was delicious! Not spicy, not too sweet, just the right amount of seasonings to give your pork a great flavor. It arrived on time and well packaged.

I've now turned 3 peoe on to this rub, it is my go to for wings and ribs. I've ordered other apple seasoning that is way too sweet, this is the perfect balance.My friend cooks ribs and uses his homemade sauce that everyone loves. One taste of this seasoning and he served the ribs dry.Truly a great product.
