    A heavy user of Dizzy Pig as well, own them all except for Red Eye, just not a coffee guy!  Cow lick and Swamp Venom are my favs!

    I just tried Bad Byron's for the first time this week. Previously I've always made my own. I enjoyed it but the pepper made it a little on the spicy side for my kids.

    On your HTC, go to the camera settings and turn "Geo-tag photos" off.

    EDIT: Geo-tagging or GPS data is where the location of your picture(GPS coordinates) gets embedded in the photo data(EXIF). I have an EXIF viewer that shows this if activated, so I always recommend people turn it off if they don't want there location broadcast to the internet.

    Thanks for letting me know. Very much appreciated! I went into the camera settings and the photo tag is off. The Dizzy Pig rub shot was from my old phone. I maybe had it on with my old phone and the reason why it's giving out coordinates?

    Yup. Once it's there, it's there. Technology!

    When posting older phone pics I'll have to take a screen shot of it and upload it that way. Shouldn't show any personal information that way I would imagine. Thanks again

    I've been slow BBQ'ng for about 9 years now and have to say I have never purchased a store bought rub. I've been wanting to try Slap Yo Daddys regular and hot though. Now you guys have me wanting to try Dizzy Pig too. I always keep a batch of Slap Yo Daddy's All Purpose from his website that I make mixed with Karen Putnams that I make from her book 50/50 mix. Easy simple ingredients I think just about everyone has in their pantries at any given time except for Jalapena powder in Putnams.

    There are phone apps that let you "scrub" data by making a copy of the photo with EXIF removed.

    Special ****.  No kidding, that's the name of it.  They have different rubs for beef, chicken, BBQ sauce, dipping sauce for veggies, etc.  If I recall correctly they are located in Arizona. Check it out http://www.specialshit.com/products/index.html

    None.  Anymore I'd rather use Kerrygold ghee, kosher, and cracked black post cook for grass fed beef or heritage pork.  Or APL's kosher, cracked black, chipotle instead of flavorless cayenne, and gran garlic.  Plowboys was a favorite at one time.  Most DP rubs are pretty good, heavy on the turbinado, so that is no longer an option.

    Okay, okay, okay...I'm sick of hearing about Dizzy Pig!  I just ordered myself some all purpose Dizzy Pig and some swamp venom.  :D

    I'm going to do some ribs this weekend and will throw on the Dizzy Pig with a bit of brown sugar to sweeten it up.

    THEN!  When the ribs come off, on goes a mess of buffalo wings with a hearty coating of Swamp Venom.

    Results to be posted on Memorial Day...

    I'm a huge fan of Bad Byron's Butt Rub. It's savory, with a slight kick to it. 
    I'm a fan as well, plus its available in Toronto where the pickings are slim.

    Great rub from local spice shop (the Spice House) called Milwaukee Iron Seasoning.  I've been using it a lot on steaks, and used it on my brisket this past weekend.  

    For those who are avoiding salt, their website breaks out all the salt-free options.
