Four Saucemen is four mates from Auckland who could not find a rub good enough for their own backyard, so they built one. The range is made in New Zealand and covers rubs, salts, sauces, glazes and gravies for chook, pork, beef and lamb, with Manuka honey and pohutukawa smoke running through it. The Rub Hub stocks the range, with flat $10 shipping Australia-wide.
