The Ultimate Guide to Myron Mixon BBQ Rubs

Myron Mixon BBQ Rub Guide: Choose by Flavor & Meat

Choose Rubba Dub Rib Rub for a sweet-savory rib direction, Honey Money Cluck for honey-forward poultry, Butter Bite for buttery steak flavor, or Hickory Rub for added smoke character. This guide compares the range by food and flavor. Check the exact package: some blends have separate MSG-containing and MSG-free formulas.

For a complementary flavor or technique, see Myron Mixon Original BBQ Rub: The Complete Guide to Flavor, Uses, and Technique.

Cooking check: Keep advance seasoning rests refrigerated. Cook poultry to at least 165°F, ground beef or pork to 160°F, and whole beef or pork cuts to 145°F followed by a 3-minute rest. Ribs and shoulders generally need additional cooking for tenderness. See the safe minimum internal temperature chart.

Choose the exact formula: The manufacturer offers both MSG-containing and MSG-free versions of several rubs. Savory flavor is not proof of a sugar-free blend, and a rub’s smoke flavor does not establish a smoke ring. See the manufacturer’s rub range and check your package.

Why Myron Mixon Rubs Stand Out

Barbecue isn’t just about smoke and fire—seasoning is everything. What sets Myron Mixon rubs apart is their precision. These rubs are developed not just for flavor, but for results. Whether you’re smoking low and slow or hot and fast, these blends are engineered to balance sweetness, heat, salt, and savory notes to complement the meat—not mask it. They’re also crafted with competition-quality ingredients that ensure consistency across every cook.

• Made by a Champion: The manufacturer identifies Myron Mixon as a five-time world BBQ champion.
• Purpose-Built Blends: Each rub is optimized for a specific meat or technique.
• Review the ingredient panel: blends can include sugars, flavor enhancers, and anti-caking ingredients; the product name alone does not describe the full formula.
• Versatile in the Kitchen: Works just as well in the oven or on the stovetop as on the smoker.

The Full Lineup: Myron Mixon BBQ Rubs Explained

Here’s an in-depth look at the Myron Mixon rubs carried at DDR BBQ Supply, including their intended use, flavor profile, and pro tips.

1. Rubba Dub Rib Rub

Flavor Profile: Sweet and savory with hints of brown sugar, paprika, and a whisper of garlic. Designed to form the perfect bark on ribs.

Best For: Pork ribs, St. Louis-style ribs, baby backs, and pork chops.

2. Butter Bite

Flavor Profile: A buttery seasoning base with sweet, salty undertones—adds richness and depth to leaner cuts.

Best For: Steaks, burgers, brisket, and vegetables; use lightly on poultry or seafood if you enjoy buttery flavor.

3. Hickory Rub

Flavor Profile: Hickory-smoke flavor with salt, sweetness, garlic, and spices. A rub can add smoke flavor without guaranteeing smoke-ring development.

Best For: Brisket, beef ribs, chuck roast.

4. Honey Money Cluck

Flavor Profile: A sweet and savory chicken rub with notes of honey, chili powder, and warm spice. A competition favorite.

Best For: Chicken thighs, whole spatchcocked birds, wings, and game hens.

5. Hickory Salt

Flavor Profile: Salted hickory goodness designed to enhance wood smoke flavors and add dimension to seasoning layers.

Best For: Brisket, beef ribs, burgers, and finishing salt for grilled steaks.

6. Savory Q

Flavor Profile: Herb-forward with a classic balance of salt, garlic, onion, and pepper. Ideal for use before and after the cook.

Best For: Turkey, chicken, prime rib, and pork loin.

7. Original

Flavor Profile: Myron’s signature all-purpose blend: a hint of sweet, a hit of salt, and a finish of savory. A go-to for all meats.

Best For: Anything from ribs to popcorn. This one is a pantry essential.

8. Steak Seasoning

Flavor Profile: Coarse-ground blend with black pepper, garlic, salt, and umami. Makes steak crusty, juicy, and flavorful.

Best For: Ribeye, filet, NY strip, and reverse-seared cuts.

9. Raspberry Chipotle

Flavor Profile: Sweet raspberry tang meets smoky chipotle heat—excellent for adding complexity.

Best For: Glazed pork ribs, chicken thighs, and as a finishing dust on pulled pork.

Which Rub for Which Meat?

Pro Tips from the Competition Circuit

Layer Your Flavors

Myron Mixon’s approach is all about building layers of flavor. Use a savory rub like Savory Q as a base layer, then finish with a sweeter rub like Rubba Dub Rib Rub or Raspberry Chipotle. This creates contrast and enhances complexity.

Don’t Skip the Rest

A refrigerated seasoning rest can help adhesion and allow salt to diffuse. It is optional, not a universal 30-minute rule, and does not mean all spices penetrate deeply.

Use Butter Bite on Veggies

Butter Bite isn't just for poultry—try it on grilled corn, roasted potatoes, or even popcorn for a buttery, seasoned boost.

Combine with Myron Mixon Injections

An injection is optional. If using Apple or Peach Pork Injection, follow its exact package directions and adjust the salted rub rather than assuming multiple full doses will stay balanced.

FAQs About Myron Mixon BBQ Rubs

Do I need to use a binder with these rubs?

A binder is optional. Use the meat’s tacky surface when it holds the rub; if needed, add only a thin coating of a suitable binder and account for its ingredients.

Can I use these rubs indoors?

Yes! These rubs are just as good in the oven, on a griddle, or even in an air fryer. Try them on roasted vegetables, baked chicken, or even scrambled eggs.

How long do the rubs last?

Follow the best-before date and storage directions on the exact package. Keep the shaker dry and sealed; this guide does not establish a universal two-year shelf life.

Are these rubs gluten-free?

Check the exact current package and formula. MSG-containing and MSG-free versions of some blends are sold separately; a family-wide gluten-free claim is not established here.

Where can I buy them?

Browse DDR BBQ Supply’s current Myron Mixon selection online or in Garfield. Availability can change; call before traveling for a specific blend.
