Middle Kingdom

Middle Kingdom is built by the award-winning Firehouse Barbecue competition team — Aussie comp pitmasters who packed their circuit know-how into a shaker range anyone can use at home, mixed and packed here in Australia.

Instead of one do-it-all rub, they built a specialist blend for every protein that hits the grill: bold options for beef, a punchy herb-forward blend for lamb, a balanced all-rounder for chicken, and a sweet-savoury number for pork — so there is always the right jar for whatever is on the grill.

Start with Beef Berserker, the black pepper and charcoal Texas-style rub built for a brisket with real bark, or Chicken Chieftain, the balanced all-rounder that goes from wings to a whole roast chook without missing a beat. Round it out with Beef Baron's coffee-and-pepper depth, Lamb Lord's punchy herbs and Pork Priest's sweet-savoury warmth, or skip the decision altogether and grab the Full Kingdom Bundle — all five shakers in one box.

Every jar takes its name from a role in the court — Baron, Lord, Chieftain, Berserker, Priest, with the AP Warlord next in line — one seasoning, one protein, done properly. The whole range is gluten friendly, always check the physical label.

Built on the same playbook that has put Firehouse Barbecue on the competition boards, mixed and packed in Australia. One shaker, one job, done properly.
