John Henry’s Texas Pig BBQ Rub — Frequently Asked Questions

What is John Henry’s Texas Pig BBQ Rub?

John Henry’s Texas Pig BBQ Rub is a signature pork-focused rub created to bring bold, Texas-style flavor to pork cuts like ribs, chops, loins, shoulders, and more.

What is the size and what are the ingredients?

• Size: 11.5 oz shaker.
• Ingredients: sugar, salt, brown sugar, spices, paprika, natural smoke flavor, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon oil, and 1% sodium aluminosilicate (anti-caking)

How do I apply this rub for best results?

• Pat the pork or meat dry so the rub sticks well.
• Evenly coat all surfaces of the meat, pressing the rub into the meat lightly.
• Let the rub sit/rest for 20–30 minutes (or longer) to allow flavors to penetrate.
• Smoke, grill, roast, or sear—preferably with indirect heat for larger cuts to avoid burning outer edges.
• This rub is optimized for pork, but you can experiment on poultry or other meats too.

What flavor profile should I expect?

Expect a blend of savory and mild sweet notes: the sugars help with caramelization, spices create depth, and the paprika / smoke flavor give a classic Texas BBQ aroma.

Any storage or usage tips?

• Store the shaker sealed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
• Use dry utensils or shake directly—avoid introducing moisture.
• Tap or shake before use if the mixture has settled.
• Because the rub contains sugars and aromatic spices, it’s best used relatively fresh to preserve flavor.
