The holy voodoo is really good on ribs too! I haven't tried the honey hog yet, but I got this same 4 pack earlier in the week and the holy cow was great on some burgers.

level 2

level 2

Came here to day the same thing.. I have all of them but love the voodoo!

level 1

Meat Church is the real deal.

level 1

We buy the holy gospel in 5 pound bags.

level 2

Isn’t crack only sold in kilo increments?

level 1

Genuine question, what makes these rubs so special? Can’t you just these at home or are there some ingredients that aren’t accessible?

level 2

dont know not much info givin in ingredients list

level 1

I hear you can get a couple at Walmart. I want to take a look at a local grill shop and see what they have in spices and wood.

level 1

I’m so conflicted on purchasing rubs. I know Meat Church’s rubs are great, but I can make my own great rubs for a fraction of the price.

level 2

yes i hear ya...this is what i bought myself with that extra govt money haha

level 1

Just got that same 4-pack a while ago. Trying the Holy Gospel on a whole chicken on the smoker tonight. Tried the Holy Cow on a tritip - very peppery. Not done testing yet....

level 1

The Gospel + butter popcorn = heaven

level 1

The gospel with honey bacon is bomb on ribs holy cow is good on brisket tri tip and eggs and the honey hog is good on popcorn

level 1

Nice! That honey hog is so good, I always end up lickin my finger a few times and sticking it in there while I’m preppin the meat

level 2

I hear ya! Sometimes you gotta lick that finger and stick it in to get that meat prepped.

level 1

I have been making the recipes from www.smoking-meat.com for about a year now. Great stuff. Easy to make and well worth the money. I do double the garlic and onion powder though. No relation/promotion, it's just good rubs.

level 2

got ya thanks ...yea ive been using alot based off myron mixons rubs etc. been killer to

level 1

Looking to try these out when I don’t need to sell a kidney for shipping

This Cajun-inspired Voodoo Spice packs an insanely delicious punch to whatever you are cooking. This seasoning rub works well on seafood, ribs, chicken, and turkey. Use in gumbo or shrimp creole. Sprinkle on French fries or on top of grilled vegetables too. It will undoubtedly win you over! If you’d prefer a purely savory Voodoo spice mixture, omit the brown sugar.

Make your own voodoo spice rub:

I’m an avid believer in making my own BBQ rubs. I don’t have anything against pre-packaged bottled rubs, but I do like to have a little more control over the ingredients. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve purchased a popular bottled rub, took a taste of it, and thought, meh. I’d rather spend the $15-$25 on ingredients to make my own dry rub rather than purchase a commercial rub that I only use once. There are also perks to making your rubs from scratch:

Turn up or down the hot spices.
You can adjust the salt content.
Use your preferred granulated sweeteners.
Omit ingredients like MSG and fillers.
Make your rubs gluten-free or keto-friendly.

Voodoo spice ingredients:

Salt
Brown sugar
Paprika
Smoked paprika
Jalapeno powder: sub with cayenne
Granulated garlic
White pepper
Black pepper
Dried basil

Ways to use Voodoo spice:

You can simply combine the ingredients in a bowl and use them right away; however, if you plan to use the rub on vegetables, seafood, or soups, I recommend refining the Voodoo rub using a spice grinder or food processor. Pulse 6-7 times to grind down the ingredients and give it a more uniform consistency.

I like to store my barbecue rubs in these airtight jars. All I have to do is add a label, keep the rub in my cupboard, and I’m good to go!

How much rub to use:

While I believe it is a matter of personal preference, conventional wisdom points to 1 tablespoon of rub per pound of meat. You can apply this Voodoo spice BBQ rub by hand or place it into a dry rub shaker and apply it that way.

Tips:

Omit the salt entirely from this recipe, salt your brisket or chuck roast with 1/2 teaspoon salt per pound, and place it in the fridge for 2 hours. Then remove, coat with unsalted Voodoo spice, and place onto your preheated smoker or grill.
Remember that you can make amazing BBQ rubs right at home—no need to buy that bottled stuff. You will have a full arsenal of flavors right in your cupboard. This recipe makes 2/3 cup of rub.
No one truly knows how the name “Voodoo” has been attributed to this spice mixture, but I can tell you that it will definitely make an impression! With this in mind, please be aware that this recipe does contain some spicy elements like jalapeno powder, white pepper, and black pepper. Some folks cannot tolerate chili heat, while others are sensitive to black pepper. You can adjust the recipe as needed, but be aware that this will alter the flavor profile.

2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon regular paprika
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon jalapeno powder sub with cayenne
1 tablespoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper

Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. You will end up with nearly 1 cup of seasoning mixture. Store in an airtight container in the cupboard for 8-12 months after preparation–give it a good stir from time to time.
This recipe is enough for 2-3 racks of ribs, one large turkey, and about two 3 pound chickens.
Discard any leftover rub that has come into direct contact with raw meat.

Is Holy Voodoo good on pork?

Meat Church Holy VooDoo - 14oz. It is fantastic on both fried and smoked turkeys. Meat Church Ambassadors have already been winning ribs and chicken in competition with this seasoning as well. This savory rub has a Cajun influence and a Texas jalapeño kick! Great for poultry, pork, vegetables and more!

Does Holy Voodoo have MSG?

Ingredients: Salt, spice, dehydrated garlic & spice extractives. No MSG.

Can you use holy voodoo on brisket?

I had been hearing more and more people say a Voodoo brisket was great, so we decided to put it to a proper test in this video. Given the makeup of Holy Voodoo, I decided to add more pepper to this cook as I am a firm believer in plenty of coarse cracked pepper on a brisket.
