How to use a gluten free rub
- Use it like any other rub: an even coat on brisket and ribs, a lighter one on chicken and fish.
- If you need a binder, plain oil or yellow mustard does the job. Check the mustard label too.
- Watch what goes on after the rub. Some BBQ sauces, marinades and injections contain wheat, barley malt or soy sauce, so check those as well.
- Every product page shows its Hub Heat rating out of 11.
