Blues Hog started in a Missouri garage, where the late pitmaster Bill Arnold built a barbecue sauce that comp teams still reach for. The range is made in the USA: thick, glossy BBQ sauces plus rubs and seasonings for beef, pork and chook. The Rub Hub stocks the range, with flat $10 shipping Australia-wide.
