What are your favorite commercial BBQ rubs?

I've been using Big Rons Hint of Houston for the better part of 2 years now.  It's a great rub, but my palate needed change.  I got my hands on a variety of Oakridge rubs and they are very very good too!  However today I picked up Plowboys Yardbird at my local Ace.  Tasted a bit of the rub straight up, and was blown away.  Needs a bit more heat, but it's probably one of the best commercial rubs that I've ever tasted.

Big Ron's, hands down....for all the heavier applications.......



Does a bang up job on butts, brisket, t-tip, ribs...



And it's lower salt than any other thing I've found out there........

His Cajun Critter Dust ( mudbug / seafood boil powder ) is the single best smelling powder of ANYTHING I've ever run across....
So good I used it on spareribs !!




For smaller, intricate items, I really like Dizzy Pig's stuff...esp. the "Swamp Venom"....
"If you want it fancy there is BBQ spray paint at home depot for that. "
    Covered, damper-controlled cooking.....IF YOU PLEASE !!!
           "But the ever versatile kettle reigned supreme"

Anyone know if his Larry's rub recipes  are still available?
We don't have any rubs available over here and would love to try them

I believe he is dieting. Seriously, he said back in August he would be scarce as he was trying to loose a few.

I remember hearing that, but then he kept hanging around a while.  I am confident we will see him back.
