Miners Mix Maynard's Memphis BBQ Rub and Seasoning is a sweet rub that packs big bold BBQ flavor that’s best for smoking. This rub does contain sugar, so the heat needs to be indirect with low N slow temperatures that work best for smoking to prevent burning. Maynard’s Memphis rub doesn’t need sauce at the end, but feel free to sauce, if desired. If you want to be asked for seconds, thirds or even more at that backyard BBQ competition, then this is the rub you need for spare ribs, baby backs, pork butts, brisket, chicken or turkey. Also great on popcorn. There’s no MSG, and at 100 mg sodium/serving, this seasoning is low sodium. It should be applied heavily the night before your cook. Our slogan: “If it didn’t exist in 1850, it ain’t in here” means that everything in every Miners Mix product is made from only natural ingredients with nothing artificial or manmade.
