Hard for me to think of a hardcover book when I so often simply consult free resources online.

I do not know if it’s the best, but I picked this one up years ago for 5 bucks. It’s almost 300 pages of nothing but rubs, marinades, etc etc. I know a lot of people do not really care for SR (myself included) but it’s actually a very good book and very well written. I give credit where credit is due, he has some great rubs and marinades in the book.

I have this one also. That’s where my Turkish marinade came from . Michael Simon’s Playing With Fire is pretty good also.

He never mentions it. That is one of the reasons that I am not a fan of his.

what i usually do but there is something to be said for holding a physical book. and especially for something like this because can makes notes in the book for changes/tweaks, fold corners of rubs you like the most, etc

You misspelled “puckering.”

Dr BBQ's Flavorize is pretty good, too:

That is another great book that I have had for quite sometime. The only reason I did not mention it is because it is not dedicated to just rubs. But I concur, a solid all around book on Q 👍

Mr Kirk is old school bbq. I have had this book for a long time and it is a good one. Coupled with the fact I cant stand anything about Steven "whatever his name is". I recommend this book often.
