🔥B's Rubs Owners SPOTLIGHT!🔥
This month we take a look at the two people that started it all! The people that put their dreams into reality.
Brian and Tamar Lumsden launched B's Rubs in 2015 and have continued to go above and beyond to bring you the best crafted rubs and seasonings.
Head over to BSRUBS.COM to check out all B's products!
We asked Brian 3 questions. See what he said below!
Q. What is your favorite B's Rubs product and why?
A. My favorite product is our Super Sampler Set — it represents all the years of experimenting, learning, and building B’s Rubs from those early hobby days to now.
Q. What got you into cooking/bbq?
A. I started making rubs in college over 20 years ago, beginning with the Smoked Rub, which I sold out of at my first bazaar. Seeing people enjoy it pushed me into coarse blends, citrus, competition BBQ, and specialty flavors like Homerun Habanero.
I got into cooking at 19 as a prep cook in a busy Italian chain, eventually working my way through every station and into management. From there I cooked everywhere — dive bars, three‑stars, catering — and many of my blends came from wanting better seasoning options.
BBQ became a hobby in college with a Little Chief smoker, and since then I’ve cooked on just about everything. I’m always trying new cuts and methods.
Q. What is your favorite thing to cook/bbq?
A. My favorite thing to cook depends on the people and the time I have. If I can spend the day, I love doing a prime rib over natural wood on a rotisserie. For a treat, I’ll carve off the rib cap and sear it over coals. Around home, salmon is a staple — smoked with Smoked Rub and Big Squeeze, pulled at 135° over fruit wood.
