Normal?

Lit

I had to pull my rubs out to make room for the new oak ridge that came in. Didn't realize how much I have. Thinking this is pretty normal here? Don't pay attention to the house I am in the middle of gutting the kitchen and redoing the floors on the first floor.

Probably but I tend to stick to a couple favorites I have for pork, beef and chicken. I used to have as many as you do.

Had to show this to my wife, I'm not far behind you. I going to have to expand from my small space above the range hood.

@Lit, do you like the Oak Ridge stuff? I used on my last brisket and that it was just ok. I like my other rubs I have betherapy on brisket. I have been think of doing the same thing by taking all my rubs out to see what I have. I know I have more than I think. You have a nice selection there.

Yep, I'd say you are about normal, and still not in the danger zone. Some have shelves of the stuff, they need an intervention.

Definitely within the normal order of magnitude.  I have to admit that I am trying to condense the dry rub collection as well as smoke woods.  Having more success with the smoke woods although for the past few years I have discouraged anyone from gifting rubs.    The forum does lend itself to "You gotta try this..." and away we go again.  No harm, no foul!

Funny. My wife opened that cabinet last night, shook her head and closed it back.

What kind of floors are you doing?

@Ladeback69‌ a friend gave me some of the black ops awhile ago and I wasn't a huge fan. I just got the others yesterday and am about to put a half rack of each the dominator and competition pork and then a did another rack of each sprinkled with the death dust so I will update later tonight.

@Jeremiah‌ we haven't picked the tile out yet my first step was taking the carpet out upstairs then moving the laminate from down stairs upstairs. We also removed a wall to open the kitchen up so we can add an island. At this point pretty sure we are gonna heat it and put in the plank tile that looks like wood but not 100% sure yet.

That's IT? That's all you got?  )

I don't have any commercial rubs, but several home brews and LOTS of individual seasonings.

Looks a little under whelmed to me.....

I'm glad its pretty normal. Any good rubs you see that I'm missing?

At first glance  thought that was a lot more than what I had. But after I thought about it, it might be more than what I have. Might be less also.

@lit only thing I see missing is a shaker I got from cabelas. It's a garlic/parm rub for French fries. Yummmmmmm. Ill take a pic if you want

We aren't normal. In case you are looking for a "normal" comparison, we aren't it.

But, yes, that is similar. )

Competely normal. I have a huge overflow Tupperware tub in the laundry room...

Nice size. I'm trying to limit my rub collection. I end up with too much and it just gets wasted. The last time I counted I was at 27 or so BBQ sauces. It adds up quick

Durangler

@Lit I'm not far behind you. I tend to mix my own rubs with recipe ideas from this forum and amazingribs.com among others. 

Legume

I'm probably not that far behind, but I would say 75% are ones I'm not in love with and don't use and should purge, but that's probably true for the rest of the spice cabinet as well.

Not normal at all!  Will send you my address so you can get rid of all that stuff.   B-)

I like what you did there

Yep, pretty normal!

A little light compared to mine. Three cupboards +

I've always worried about rubs going flat.  I haven't had much trouble with that, but when I'm looking through my stock, I think about it.

Focker

Nice collection @lit.

The only commercial rub I purchase anymore is DP Pineapple Head.  The rest get whipped up as needed with individual spices.

damn, 3+.

Lit

@Little Steven‌ 3+ cabinets of commercials rubs or total rubs and spices? If we are counting spices and seasoning salts etc the rubs make up one of the 4 containers I have in the pantry.
