Some people use grilling rubs, while others let their meat soak in a marinade. Both can impact the flavor on the grill, and both have their pros and cons. Learn about differences between grilling rubs and marinades with Blain&#8217;s Farm &amp; Fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"grilling-rubs\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/s\/?keyword=bbq+rub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Grilling Rubs<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>A rub is a combination of dry spices and seasonings. You can either buy them as pre-made mix or create your own by combining spices that will compliment each other and the meat you&#8217;re seasoning. Some of the pre-made rubs are even specific to types of meat, such as <a href=\"\/poultry-seasonings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chicken rubs<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/s\/?keyword=rib+rub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rib rubs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pros\">Pros:<\/h4>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Portability<\/strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s great to bring along on a camping trip or while you&#8217;re tailgating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Easy to Use<\/strong> &#8211; You simply rub it on the meat, and you can do it right on the grill.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Variety<\/strong> &#8211; It works on a variety of meats, and comes in many flavors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cons\">Cons:<\/h4>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You Have to Use Your Hands<\/strong> &#8211; Some people get turned off by having to touch raw meat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Overuse<\/strong> &#8211; If you use too much rub, it can ruin the flavor of the meat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"marinades\">Marinades<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Marinades are seasoned liquids that the meat sits&#8211;marinates&#8211;in before it&#8217;s placed on the grill. This can be done a few ways. An easy and less messy way is to keep the marinade and meat in a storage bag while everything marinates. Another way is to use a plastic container with a lid. Marinade can also help tenderize the meat, so it&#8217;s a great way to flavorize a tougher cut.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pros-2\">Pros:<\/h4>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Variety<\/strong> &#8211; There is a plethora of marinades and marinade recipes available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flavor<\/strong> &#8211; Meat really soaks in the marinade, usually giving it more intense flavor than a rub.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tenderizing Qualities<\/strong> &#8211; It can make meat more tender.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cons-2\">Cons:<\/h4>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Liquid<\/strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s a liquid, which makes it tougher to bring camping or tailgating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Messy<\/strong> &#8211; It can be messy, especially when compared to a shaker of rub.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prep Time<\/strong> &#8211; Meat needs to marinate for hours before grill time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you choose a rub or marinade, you can find both at your local Blain&#8217;s Farm &amp; Fleet.
