Great BBQ starts long before the smoke—it starts with the rub. Pick your meat and the style you're chasing, and the Rub Builder gives you a balanced starter blend to build on. The Spice Guide tags along, pointing out what pairs well and what to add if you want more heat, more sweet, or more bark. Think of it as a starting line, not a finish line—dial it in, write down what worked, and make it yours.
