After you find the perfect option for your next cookout, use these helpful tips for using Traeger rubs:

Measure your dry rub ahead of time. Rubs that have touched meat can't be saved for food safety reasons.
Mist fish and chicken with water before applying the rub to help it stick.
Use your hands to apply the rub.
Apply dry rubs under chicken skin as well as on the outside.
Thoroughly coat both sides, unless you're cooking skin-on fish.
Let the rub rest on the meat. 15 minutes to two hours is ideal depending on the strength of the rub you're working with.
Use rubs and dry seasonings for your veggies for more impressive flavor.

Traeger BBQ Sauce

BBQ sauces pair well with every food that touches your grill grates. Traeger offers a selection of BBQ sauces that are sweet, savory, smoky and spicy. Get your favorites for tried-and-true dishes like barbecue chicken, or try out seasonal and specialty varieties for pulled pork and more.

Here are a few ideas for working with Traeger BBQ sauce this grilling season:

Apply savory barbecue sauces early. 30 minutes to an hour helps the flavor penetrate the surface of the meat. Marinade-style sauces can stay on meats longer.
Wait until the meat hits the grill to apply sweet sauces. Sweet sauces can burn quickly on a hot grill. Start light and apply extra coats of sauce as needed.
Keep sauce and a clean brush on standby at your grilling station. Adding two to three coats of sauce is standard for most meats.
Reserve a portion of sauce for serving. Extra sauce keeps the meat moist and adds punch to your finished dish.
