Our Go Beef or Go Home Brisket & Steak Rub is a multipurpose rub for smoking or grilling any meat, especially briskets, beef ribs, and pork butts. Think of it as your jacked up secret salt and pepper mix. It’s big and bold. Try it on pork chops, steaks, or anywhere you would use salt and pepper. This rub brings the umami and will have people coming back for more.

The Spice is Right is our sweeter BBQ rub inspired by Andy’s trips to Memphis and created by our friend, Pitmaster Brendan Burek. It has subtle notes of spices, salts and sugars and is fantastic on wings, ribs and all of your BBQ.

Up in Smoke is big and bold with three types of peppers, cumin, spices and salts. Based on our championship BBQ rubs, it’s dynamic and keeps the flavor coming. Perfect for pork butts and chicken – when you’re looking for a game changer, this is it.
