The BBQ General Rub

You've done enough drills to know that you can't soldier on with any old rub. Dig yourself out of the trenches with this blend of salt, pepper, garlic and top-secret spices that'll outrank the others. From brisket to chicken and every unit in between, this General will have all the troops at your command. Pro Tip: After pulling your brisket off the smoker, tightly wrap in butcher paper and let sit in an insulated cooler for 2-3 hours. The extra wait is worth it.
