BBQ Mafia is a Brisbane crew of working restaurant cooks who have been at it since 2013. They took American low-and-slow, gave it an Aussie accent and still compete, with a top-ten brisket finish at the American Royal on the record. The range is Australian made and covers rubs for beef, pork, chook and lamb, plus BBQ sauces, a steak sauce, hot sauce, hot honey, a birria broth base and gravy. The Rub Hub stocks the range, with flat $10 shipping Australia-wide.

BBQ Mafia for brisket and beef
OG Steakout is the beef rub the name was built on: salt, coarse pepper and deep umami with no sugar to scorch. The Steakout goes darker again for a near-black Texas-style bark. Finish a steak with The Don. More in our brisket rubs and steak range.
BBQ Mafia for ribs, pork, chook and lamb
The Squealer caramelises into a sticky bark on ribs and belly, then The Fix or Mobster goes on late as a glaze. The Snitch is mild and made for chook and seafood, and On the Lamb brings citrus and herbs to chops and a Sunday shoulder. See rib rubs, chicken rubs and lamb rubs.
BBQ Mafia hot sauce, hot honey and pantry
The Capo is a thin vinegar hot sauce for wings and fried chicken. Smoky Hot Honey is sweet first, with a gentle smoky chilli warmth that builds. The Oath does chicken-salt duty on chips, and the birria base and wagyu gravy cover taco night and the roast. Browse hot sauce and hot honey.
Allergen note
Double Butter Bang, Wagyu Tallow Gravy Mix and Big Paulie list milk, and Mobster's allergen listing flags sulphites. Always check the label and the ingredient list on each product page.
