Can anyone recommend a superior commercial rib rub that is available at most local Krogers or Tom Thumbs?

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    for some reason, i am weary of the rubs with big names on them.  I dont know why, but it is what it is.  but if it is good, I will have to give it a try.

    I hear ya.  Another I have tried at my Kroger is Famous Daves.  It's still a chain, but it wasn't bad. 

    Here's one you can find at any grocery store.  Some assembly required :)

    I am totally down to make my own rub, but I would like some tried and true recipes. No point in reinventing the wheel.

    Woody's is good.  Also, it's made in the Razorback state.

    +1 for Memphis Dust - yes I know it's not an "off the shelf" rub but it's fantastic on ribs and shoulder. Makes great bark. I like it best on low-n-slow since it has a lot of sugar in it. One of my favorites is taking some of the bark and putting it in the baked beans - that's Heaven on Earth!

    Keep an eye on the temp though. I used it one time when I had to finish a butt at 325-350 and I think the sugar developed a little bit of a burned taste.
