BBQ Rub Club

What's in the box: As the name suggests, expect BBQ rubs and seasonings for grilling and smoking, though the site does not currently state exact contents.

BBQ Rub Club is a US subscription aimed at backyard cooks who want to try new dry rubs and seasonings without hunting them down one bottle at a time. The idea is simple and appealing: regular deliveries of rubs for smoking and grilling, so your pantry keeps rotating with new flavors for brisket, ribs, chicken and vegetables. The big problem right now is the website. The homepage currently shows technical error messages in place of product details, plans or pricing. That means you cannot easily confirm what a box contains, how often it ships, what it costs, or how to manage or cancel a subscription. The service is reported to be operating, but a broken storefront is a real concern for any recurring purchase. If you are interested, contact the company directly and get clear answers on billing, contents and cancellation before you sign up, and pay with a method that offers purchase protection. Rub subscriptions in general suit people who cook outdoors often and enjoy experimenting. They are less useful if you always stick with one favorite seasoning. Once the site is fixed and plan details are visible again, this service could be worth a fresh look.
