About Us: BBQ Spice Rubs
Our Story
BBQ Spice Rubs was founded in 2017 with a passion for bringing people together around the grill and celebrating the art of barbecue. Our journey began as a simple idea: to create a comprehensive online resource dedicated entirely to the magical world of BBQ spice rubs. We recognized a gap in the digital landscape—a lack of centralized, reliable information on this time-honored culinary tradition.
Over the years, we’ve grown from a humble blog to a bustling community hub for barbecue enthusiasts worldwide. Our mission has always been to educate, inspire, and connect people through the power of delicious BBQ.
Milestones and Achievements
- 2018: Launch of our first e-book series, “The Ultimate Guide to BBQ Rubs,” which became an instant bestseller on Amazon.
- 2019: Collaboration with renowned chefs to create exclusive rub recipes for our readers.
- 2020: Expansion into a global audience with translations and content in multiple languages.
- 2022: Achieved over 5 million page views, becoming one of the top BBQ resources online.

Our purpose is to become the definitive online authority for all things related to BBQ spice rubs. We strive to:
- Provide unbiased, scientifically backed information on ingredients, recipes, and techniques.

Filling the Information Gap
The internet is filled with countless BBQ resources, but we identified several key gaps:
- Reliable Information: Many sites offer recipes without scientific insight into spice profiles, causing inconsistent results. We provide evidence-based guidance.
- Diverse Recipes: While popular rubs are well-represented, rare and regional varieties often go unnoticed. We aim to showcase global BBQ traditions.
- Community Engagement: Most platforms lack a dedicated space for users to share experiences, ask questions, and learn from each other. BBQ Spice Rubs fosters an interactive community.

We take pride in maintaining the highest standards of integrity:
- Every recipe and article is rigorously fact-checked by our team of culinary experts.
