Our BBQ Story

Started by using Mom's stock pot...

5/5

The competition beef rub may be the better choice in an actual competition, but if you want a texas s and p brisket with a little extra oomph this rub will get rave reviews every time. Great on smashburgers, steaks, potatoes, basically anything you want a strong pepper flavour without 5 alarm heat.
