I like pappy's on burgers. I did a rub for a pork shoulder I smoked a couple weeks ago.

-1/8 cup paprika
-1/8 cup salt
-1/8 cup seasoned salt
-1/4 cup brown sugar
-2 tablespoons of garlic powder
-1 tablespoon onion powder
-1 tablespoon black pepper.

That's enough for two shoulders about 13.5 pounds.


I think it was a good base for a pork shoulder and other large meat cuts but I probably would add more sugar since I like a sweeter pork, but that shoulder came out great!

My favorite for elk, venison etc is garlic salt and cayenne pepper on both sides.

Spade L is my go to, but I recently tried some Famous Dave’s rib rub on some black bear and I was happy with the results.

I put this on all sorts of meats. Good seasoning with great smoke flavor.

I believe my wife purchase this from Costco. Of anything commercially sold this is epic!

Those are all fine choices for women and children. You gotta up your game man. Available at www.ArizonaRub.com. They have lots of variety.

I have used Pappy's for years, works good on Tri-tip, Chicken, Pork ribs, Wild game, Eggs and most other stuff. Me and the Better Half owned a restaurant for a few years and this was the go to seasoning for everything that went on the bbq/smoker. Friend of mine uses it for catering when he cooks for RMEF banquets. You can order it by the case from them & the price was pretty good last I checked.

I have been using a lot of www.alpinetouch.com/ lately. Mostly there pepper blends. Made in Montana..

For steaks I use nothing but pepper and lots of salt. I usually take the steaks out of the fridge at room temp an hour prior to cooking and let them rest with salt/pepper on either sides. Delicious and tasty steaks every time.

Steaks and salmon usually get Montreal Steak Seasoning. Steaks also get a splash of Worcestershire. Pork chops get a Cajun blend like Emeril Lagasse's Essence. Burgers it varies. Chicken varies upon my mood as well.

I like Hyvee meat tenderizer seasoning + garlic for deer. Old bay for fish. Or mix it up and use dry mustard, cayenne, fresh mixed peppercorn, and salt - especially good with waterfowl. Squirrel and rabbit I use thyme, rosemary, tarragon, and black pepper.

For any steaks, just salt and pepper. For stuff I smoke (mostly pork), I’m constantly tweaking my rub ingredients. But one thing I always include is lots of smoked paprika. It’s noticeably better than regular paprika and usually makes up at least half of the rub. I go easy on the brown sugar. And I spritz often during cooking with apple cider. Other standard things are garlic powder, onion powder, fresh ground black pepper, a small amount of cayenne or chili powder, crushed red pepper. I usually salt the meat before applying the rub.

Goes great on anything.

Tried this with a friend because it was funny, but it’s actually pretty dang good. Has been a hit on burgers, steaks and hearts. They have a whole line. The labels are also good for a laugh.

For all of my venison I use Yardbird on one side and Montreal steak seasoning on the other side. The Yardbird had a little brown sugar with a touch of heat. Great compliment to the steak rub

My wife is from North-Central Wyoming and this was a staple in her family when I met her. It has become one of my most used seasonings in venison and even eggs, veggies, or potatoes. It’s good stuff!

Grandpa Lynn's Seasoning

Over 40 years ago, Ivan Lynn developed Grandpa Lynn's Seasoning after years of trails and testing. Friends and family liked it so much, he decided to bottle it and sell it. Try it on meats, poultry, fish, soups, veggies, or anything you would normally apply salt or other seasonings to.

• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Malcom Reed has some good stuff. I generally make my own AP (Salt Pepper Garlic), but try to support him from time to time.

I also use Montreal Steak Seasoning which is mostly Salt, Pepper, Garlic.... I'll also make rubs with Salt Pepper Garlic as the base and sometimes add variations of cayenne, paprika (sweet or smoked), onion powder, chili powder, cumin, and/or chipoltle depending on what I want.
