Emu's Rub is an Australian outfit with competition pedigree, and the tins with the running emu badge sit in plenty of pitmasters' kits. The dry rubs are Australian made, gluten free and all natural, and run a full heat ladder from a family-friendly Mild to the eye-watering Ring Stinger. The Rub Hub stocks the range in 110g tins and ships it Australia-wide for a flat $10.
