Best Online Source of BBQ Sauces, Rubs, etc

Good evening all,

I just placed a couple of online orders for charcoal, rubs and sauces, and I was wondering if there is a consensus on where the best online retailers are for selection and prices are? I hadn't heard of Firecraft before, but I'm very impressed by their selection, prices, and free shipping over $100. I easily spent that.

I'm also impressed with peppers.com, which had a bunch of great hot sauces, rubs, sauces, marinades, dips, etc. Also free shipping on orders over $75. Amazon's got great selections, but I've found they can be at least double and sometimes more for many of the good rubs, sauces, etc.

Where do you all (alt. y'all) make your non-local BBQ purchases?

    I just join one of those Elf-on-the-shelf exchanges if I'm into some new spice.  I have so many rubs and sauces now it's silly.

    The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

    Thanks for the Oakridge tip - I bought the sampler rub pack and they have free shipping - can't beat that.

    AtlantaBBQStore has very good prices as well, especially on its rubs. I haven't seen their shipping yet.

    I've made a couple of my own already, from Meathead's recipes from AmazingRibs.com (the Rendezvous rub, which was a disaster, and the Memphis Dust, which is out-bloody-standing), but I'm still at the early phase of enjoying other people's creativity...

    Is this something on this site or just in general? I like the idea - I think I saw one that you organized a few months ago, and some of the guys' gift boxes were unreal and overflowing with interesting things...

    I like to buy rubs. I just got Oakridge OPS and used it on a Ribeye tonight. It was great and was different than salt/pepper/garlic. Am I going to cook the next 10 with that rub; no way. I like to mix it up a little.

    There are too many sources to single out one that is the best. 
    Penzey's has a great selection of quality ingredients and the rubs I've tried have all been very good. English Prime Rib rub is a staple for beef, all of their salt free stuff is excellent - Arizona Dreaming, Forward. The Berbere seasoning is really good. Ozark for chicken and Galena St. for pork. 
    Dizzy Pig rubs are available from Amazon and many other places. I have so many that when I cook something I really like, I can't find the damn stuff in the cupboard again!
    Enjoy!

    Have got to second Penzey's as having great spices.  Very flavorful and fresh ... a little expensive, but well worth it.  The English Prime Rib rub has been our go to rub for prime rib cooked the oven.  Can't wait to up my skill level a little to try a prime rib with it on the egg.

    Another gem I hadn't heard of yet - bookmarked as well. Shipping is really where the great prices are diluted, unfortunately, so it's nice to find those that offer free shipping on bulk (like Firecraft.com) - thanks.

    You're a Marylander, not too far from here - any good local places you recommend between Fredericksburg and Baltimore?
