Placed an order Monday and it showed up today. Very reasonable prices and the initial taste tests were very positive. Looking forward to this weekend- now I just have to decide what to cook.

    I really like their rubs - both flavor and price. Their Habanero Death Dust is fabulous on wings and a lot of other meats.

    I know - will be placing another order shortly. I like spicy but was concerned about just how spicy this is. Any comparisons to Swamp Vemon?

    It has some good heat to it but not too hot where it's not enjoyable. It's hotter than Swamp Venom.

    Definitely hotter than Swamp Venom.  I've layered it on where it almost wasn't enjoyable.   :P

    I have used several of the Oakridge rubs including their secret weapon brine mix....All are very good products....i especially enjoy the brine for us on pork tenderloins....also the death dust is significantly hotter than the DP swamp venom.....

    I figured it would be hotter than Swamp Venom. I like to do my ribs with a light base layer of SV with a sweet rub over the top of that. If I get some Death Dust - sounds like I better use it sparingly!!!

    Love their rubs as well.  Secret Weapon is killer on ribs. 



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

    I've got them all and really like them. They are also great people to deal with.

    I would start with the sampler pack.  The best one out there IMO.  it's $4.95 with free shipping and you get 5 of their blends.  Then, add some Death Dust if you like heat.

    I bought Black Ops Brisket Rub and I'm not a huge fan of it...or I just didn't use enough.
