Smokin Hoggz

Smokin' Hoggz is championship pedigree out of Abington, Massachusetts — a competition barbecue crew from America's north-east that's gone toe-to-toe with the pitmasters of the South and come out on top, proof world-class 'cue doesn't only live in Texas or Kansas City.

The range keeps it simple and serious: an all-purpose rub built for anything off the grill, and a dedicated rib rub for the long, low-and-slow cooks. Best seller is the Applewood All Purpose Rub, a sweet-with-a-touch-of-heat blend that goes on chicken, pork, seafood and veg without missing a beat — even good on popcorn, if you're that way inclined. Round it out with the Rib Rub for racks that need real backbone over a long cook.

Credit where it's due: this crew took out the 2011 Jack Daniel's World Championship Invitational, one of barbecue's most prestigious titles, backed it up with the 2014 American Royal World Series of Barbecue Invitational and a Northeast BBQ Society Team of the Year nod the same year, plus more than 100 top-ten finishes on the competition trail.

Two products, one philosophy: rubs built and proven on the competition circuit, not just dreamed up in a test kitchen. Gluten-free, no MSG, made in the USA.

Northern grit, championship flavour — cook like you mean it.
