Instead of buying a BBQ rub from the supermarket you can make your own using herbs and spices bought in bulk (this does involve some initial outlay, but once you have the spices you can use them for different dishes). You can use whatever ingredients you like, but a good basic mixture is brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper and salt.


If you wrap up a little jar or small paper bag of the mixture nicely it can also make a good gift. This could be something you could make with children as a present for Father's Day or for their grandparents and other relatives at Christmas time.

Sounds lovely, do you just mix the ingredients to create the rub or do you have to do something else?

Yes, you just mix them together. It's easy enough that I have helped young children to do it to make presents.

If it turns out good enough, you could print up some labels for your plastic bags and sell it online. Give away a few bag to friends and family to get some honest testimonials and put them on a splash page with an order form and sell them for Bitcoin. If you need a trailblazer to clear the trail for you, I would be glad to give it a shot. Send me your best recipe and I will test it out. I love BBQing.
