Carolina Smoke is a Sydney-made seasoning range from Nick, who grew up in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on whole-hog pig pickins and hickory smoke. He now blends his rubs in Sydney for the smoker and the weeknight grill alike: a beef rub, a chicken and pork rub, a Creole blend and an all-purpose shaker. The Rub Hub stocks the range, and we ship it anywhere in Australia for a flat $10.

Carolina Smoke for brisket and beef
The Beef Seasoning is the purist's pick. Salt, spices and a beef booster, with no sugar and no chilli, so the meat still tastes like beef. It builds a proper crust on brisket and short ribs, and it's just as handy on a seared steak or a smash patty.
Carolina Smoke for ribs, pork and chicken
Chicken & Pork Seasoning is the one Nick built for the two meats Carolina is known for. Black pepper, a medium chilli streak and an umami finish that clings to skin and crackling. Dust wings, thighs or pork belly and let it render. More options sit in our pork rubs.
Carolina Smoke for seafood and everyday cooking
Creole Seasoning brings garlic, chilli and smoky ancho for prawns, blackened fish, gumbo and jambalaya. See our Cajun range for more. Can't pick? Everything Seasoning is the all-purpose shaker for meat, roast veg and a bowl of hot chips.
Allergen note
The product descriptions say these blends may contain traces of gluten (wheat), soy and peanuts. Chicken & Pork, Creole and Everything contain MSG (621), and the Beef Seasoning contains beef booster, so it isn't vegetarian. Check the label and the ingredient list on each product page.
