2023 BBQ Sauce Club Reviews

My BBQ Box

• View upcoming boxes for the year
• Boxes come with surprise grilling accessories
• New rub based on a regional style in each box

My BBQ Box hails from Austin, Texas. They aim to bring flavors to customers that enhance every type of meat, since sometimes the store-bought stuff just won't cut it. Their rubs have been featured in competitions, tried, and tested until they're just right. My BBQ Box wants to share their products with all the BBQ fans out there by providing monthly subscription boxes with new rubs and accessories.

Try different regional styles

The boxes from My BBQ Box feature custom-crafted rubs that reflect a different regional style like Texas Brisket, California Tri-tip, New Orleans Shrimp, Georgia Pulled Pork, and more. Each box comes with a new recipe for you to try with step-by-step prep and cooking instructions for your grill.

Surprise gift, rub, and wood chips

Each month your BBQ box delivery will include a surprise gift to help you become a BBQ master such as a smoker tube, basting mop, pit gloves, or a digital thermometer. Most boxes also include pellets or wood chips, and we assume at least one rub. The exact contents aren't listed, but based on the photos of past boxes, there seems to be three items in each box, plus a recipe.

You can view a complete list of the year's BBQ Boxes to know what type of meat you should anticipate grilling and the flavor you can expect. You can also see a sneak peak of the current box that's shipping to know what the surprise gift is, rub, and recipe.

1, 3, 6, or 12-month boxes with shipping not included

You can buy either 1, 3, 6, or 12 months of boxes from My BBQ Box and they'll come month after month. The month-to-month cost is $23.99, a 3-month shipment is $22.50/box ($67.50 total), a 6-month shipment is $21.50/month ($129 total), and a 12-month shipment is $20.50/month ($246 total). Unfortunately, My BBQ Box doesn't specify the cost of shipping, so this isn't factored in. It's most likely going to be based on where you live within the United States.

Boxes arrive mid-month

If you order by the 30th of the month, then your first box will ship between the 4th and 7th of the following month. Boxes take 5-7 business days to arrive after shipment, so you should expect your BBQ box to come around the middle of each month.

Mixed reviews

There are mixed reviews about My BBQ Box. Some disappointed customers said the presentation of the items is underwhelming and the taste of the rubs is nothing to be excited about. The surprise accessories are reportedly cheap and people are annoyed that the subscription automatically renews. On the plus side, customer service is responsive, so you can rely on them to solve issues. There are quite a few people who were happy with My BBQ Box and say they look forward to it every month. People say the rubs transform their meat and are much better than you can find in-store.

Decent option

Aside from mixed customer reviews, it is concerning to us that Cratejoy, the platform on which My BBQ Box sells their product, has an "F" rating from the Better Business Bureau. Buyers and sellers alike seem to have major issues with the legitimacy of this company. Overall, customers should be more concerned about My BBQ Box and their ability to follow through with deliveries and quality. Since they have decent feedback from customers, we've given them an average rating.
