On the way to the check outs I stopped by the spice aisle to pick up some of the key ingredients to make a bbq rub from scratch. I decided to save money buying stuff I already have and picked up two bottles of Kansas City Style BBQ Rub Seasoning with the famous Weber trademark label instead. (The rub is actually bottled by ACH Food Companies in Memphis, TN). Sam's had the 10 oz. bottle for $4.00. One bottle was enough to season three pork butts.
The rub has all the traditional ingredients you would expect to see in a quality bbq seasoning including turbinado sugar, salt, chili pepper, dehydrated onion, dehydrated garlic, paprika, red pepper, spices, spice extracts, and silicon dioxide (an anti-caking agent). One additional ingredient surprised me - soy. I did a double take on the ingredients list, but it's there.
Apparently soy lecithin is a popular dietary supplement, but the most probable reason it's showing up this bbq rub is it's other common use in commercial food applications as an emulsifying agent.

I've generally liked all of the Weber mixes that I have tried, particularly their burger mix, Kick'n Chicken, and their steak seasoning.
Who has smokin in the dark rib rub in the kc area is there a store who carries it
Ray,
I'm not quite sure about the Kansas City area, but I suspect an e-mail to websales@smokininthedark.com would probably help answer that question.
