Based on the ingredients, it sound as though it is a "hot, spicy" rub? True?

I wouldn't call it hot, but definitely spicy. I like to make my own rub, including a fair amount of brown sugar (like most rubs), but bought a bottle of this at Sam's Club (who doesn't sell it anymore, it seems) just so that I'd have a backup for times when I might run out of my own, but might be short on time to whip up a new batch. This rub has no sugar and no flour, both of which would weaken the flavor. When I first started using this, I missed the sweetness of my own rub (though you could add your own sugar, I didn't), but the flavor grew on me. Just a light sprinkling adds a good amount of flavor to whatever you use it on. Use more if you like spicier.

Can you use this to put in butter for stuffing?🤔🤔🤔

You could if you like that flavor profile, but I think it would be better in butter as a baseting the bird if your smoking it. Check out Sam the cooking guy on YouTube on how he did his bird. I'm doing a butter and black garlic for basting my birth even I smoked it. Black garlic is easy to make just takes forever. It's a must try if you never have tasted it.

Would it be good for pork rinds

After tasting it I think it would be excellent for pork rinds and I'll be trying that when I get the next butcher delivery.

Does it contain Cumin?

I can add to RAM's reply, it is a Gluten Free rub and contains No Preservatives or MSG and has a smoky and savory flavor profile inspired by traditional barbecue flavors.

Pork Barrel Rub delivers

After examining reviews and considering the price (which is very competitive) I decided to order this product and check it out. I am pleased with the results. It stands out on its own as a flavorful rub. It also works well as a base which I may enhance depending on the entree and my mood, e.g., when I get the urge to grill up some extra spicy ribs with a crust created by brown sugar caramelization.

Best seasoning ever!! 💕

We got our first container of this seasoning back in 2013 from our local Sam’s Club, and it’s lasted us this long. The color has dulled a bit (see pictures of side by side with the new container), but it still provides awesome flavoring for all the food they list: chicken, fish, pork, beef, and even vegetables! This has made seasoning chicken wings a no brainer-drizzle some oil and this stuff, toss and cook. No such thing as too much or not enough salt and flavoring. Salmon? Lemons juice and this stuff-delicious. Beef or veggies? You bet! My kids love their veggies with some butter and a little shake of this seasoning. Probably the only reason why I’m finally running out and need to get more (cause we use it so much now to get the kids to eat their food). So glad a small business sells it on Amazon! And so thankful Barbara from Shark Tank invested in Heath and Brett’s dream. A small note: the salt content seems slightly higher on the new container (125mg vs 115mg original per 1/4 tsp), and there is more seasoning in the new container.

Everybody Loves My Grilled Chicken

Best marinated overnight... In a gallon bag: 1/4 C. Olive Oil, 1-2 Tbsp of American Seasoning & 2 skinless boneless Chicken Breast. Seal bag, mush contents of bag until Seasoning is evenly distributed. Marinate overnight. Grill, bake or pan sear...it's delicious 😋
