I'll be right up front with you. There is no earthly reason to buy these separately. I make double batches of both. I keep the rub in the freezer and the sauce doesn't stay around long enough to worry about. I'm not looking for brownie points from Jeff (I'm too old for that), just telling you from experience. It's good stuff.
FWIW I bought both just the other day and used them this weekend. Both the rub and the sauce are exactly what I have been searching for. The only bad side is that I didn't think to double or triple the sauce recipe when I made it. With 7 or 8 people over for some brisket and pork it didn't last long at all, lol.
so in summary, buy them both! you won't regret it.
Seems like it would cost alot to make the sauce no? i don't know what ingredients i already have? do you have to simmer it? how long does it take to make it? too many questions i know lol is it like a classic bbq sauce?
