Right off the bat here, let me give you a few pluses for using a BBQ rub: * less messy * dry * can be sweet * can be salty * you can make it hot * you can make it mild * you can make it mild * 'great' shelf life * you can create your own signature blend Like the name, BBQ rub, implies you take this and rub it all over the meat that you are going to barbecue.
This will impart that flavor to whatever it is that you are going to grill.
