Barbecue seasoning is a mix of spices used to enhance the flavor of grilled or roasted meats. However, there are various synonyms for this term, including grill seasoning, BBQ rub, dry rub, and smoked seasoning. Grill seasoning is an all-purpose blend of different spices that can be used to enhance the taste of grilled meats, including seafood and vegetables. BBQ rub, on the other hand, is a dry mix made up of a wide variety of herbs and spices, which provides a flavorful crust for the meat. Dry rub is a seasoning blend that is directly applied on the meat before grilling or smoking. Lastly, smoked seasoning is primarily used for adding smoky flavor to the meat and is typically made from smoked paprika or liquid smoke.
