The Contraband Club

The Contraband Club is The Rub Hub's monthly BBQ subscription box. Every month, Darryl Rubb — the Rub Smuggler himself — packs a box of the best rubs, sauces and hot new gear and sends it to your door anywhere in Australia. Best-sellers everyone's chasing, the flavours running hot right now, and new arrivals you'd never have found on your own.

The one to buy is the Mystery Crate — $99 a month for at least $180 of gear, blind-packed and never the same twice. Some of what's inside is contraband that moves fast: cracking product closer to its best-before, which is exactly why you're getting near double your money. Full quality, cheeky price.

Rather pick your cargo size? The Stowaway ($50) is the easy way aboard; The First Mate ($100) adds a big-name US import and a full sauce; The Quartermaster ($150) brings a limited drop and a condiment worth hiding; and The Kingpin ($200) is the full haul. Every box carries more retail value than you pay, guaranteed.

Buying for someone else? The Smuggler's Gift Crate is a one-off gift box from $79 with a piece of Rub Hub merch inside — no subscription, no strings.

Flat $10 shipping Australia-wide on every box. Skip, pause or cancel anytime — no lock-in.

About the crate: the wooden crates in our photos are there for looks only. Every haul ships packed in an Australia Post box, under 5kg — it's the products inside you're paying for.
