There are many different ways to add flavor to your barbecue. We will just discuss rubs. Rubs come in two varities: there are wet rubs and then there are dry rubs. Dry rubs are actually made up of herbs and spices mixed together. Sometimes you can add some brown sugar, white sugar, or turbinado sugar to the rub. This will add a little sweetness to your rub. One of the drawbacks to using a lot of sugar is that over a very high heat it will carmelize so fast that it will burn and turn black before anything else is even cooked.
For a dry rub there are not all that many basic ingredients: salt, pepper, garlic, onion, chili powder, and a little paprika. You can always create your own from these basic ingredients, adding what it is that you like to taste on food. As far as how much to put on, you will have to play around with that. Try a little one time and then see how that tastes. Chances are, next time you will be adding a little more and that is ok. Rather too little the first time than "whoa! That sure is strong." Now reactions like that won't be putting you on the short list to become the BBQ king of your cul-de-sac.
While your rub can be as simple or as complicated as you prefer, the way that they go onto whatever it is that you are cooking is just about always the same. You take the rub and liberally sprinkle it on your food and then proceed to rub it in. Make sure that everything is covered. For beef, steak, ribs, sometimes chicken, you can then take that meat and wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge overnight. This will really enhance the flavor that you are so actively pursuing.
When searching for top ways to add flavor to your barbecue, most times you do not need to look any further than using some good old-fashioned rubs on your meat. whether it is a dry rub or a wet rub, rubs will always add a tremendous amount of good flavor to your food which you are grilling outdoors.
