Meat Church in Australia
Meat Church BBQ (meatchurch.com) is a Texas barbecue brand founded by pitmaster Matt Pittman in Waxahachie, Texas. The Rub Hub is a stockist rather than the maker, so we bring their rubs, seasonings and injections over and ship them anywhere in Australia.
Which Meat Church rub should I buy?
Match the shaker to the cook. Each name below links to its own page with ingredients, the Rub Hub Heat rating and FAQs.
- Brisket and beef: Holy Cow for a peppery Texas-style bark (no sugar on the ingredients list), or The Holy Gospel, which blends Holy Cow with The Gospel, for brisket, tri-tip and steak.
- Steak and everyday seasoning: Blanco, salt, garlic and onion with a buttery note, for steak, chicken, veg and eggs.
- All-purpose: The Gospel for beef, chicken, pork, seafood and veg. If you only buy one shaker, start here.
- Ribs and pulled pork: Honey Hog, Texas Sugar and Honey Bacon for a sweet, caramelised bark. Honey Hog Hot is the same honeyed style with jalapeño.
- Chicken and wings: Holy Voodoo for Cajun-style wings and thighs, or Deez Nuts honey pecan rub for chicken, pork and fish.
- Juicy whole chook or Christmas turkey: Bird Baptism poultry brine, then T-Bird's Chicken Injection to push moisture deep into the meat.
- Tex-Mex and chilli: Día de la Fajita fajita seasoning and Texas Chili Seasoning for a pot of chili con carne.
- Fried food: Chicken Fried Steak Breading for chicken fried steak, fried chicken and schnitzel (contains wheat).

More options in our rib rubs and chicken rubs.

How much Meat Church rub to use
For brisket, ribs and pork shoulder, coat every surface evenly until you can barely see the meat, then let it sit 30 minutes to overnight so the salt draws in before the cook. For steaks, chicken and seafood, a lighter, even dusting is plenty. To layer, put a savoury base such as The Gospel or Holy Cow down first, then a sweet rub like Honey Hog on top for colour. For a pot of Texas chili, the pack recommends about 4 teaspoons of Texas Chili Seasoning per 450g of meat.
Allergen note
Chicken Fried Steak Breading contains wheat. Always check the ingredient list on each product page, and see our gluten-free range if you need it.

Which Meat Church rub is for brisket?
It depends on the bark you're after. Holy Cow is Meat Church's Texas-style beef rub and a natural fit for brisket. The Holy Gospel blends Holy Cow with The Gospel for brisket, tri-tip and steak. Some cooks also layer a coarse pepper rub underneath for a more traditional Texas crust.
What is Meat Church Honey Hog good on?
Honey Hog is a sweet pork and poultry rub, so it suits pork ribs, pulled pork and chicken. Many cooks layer it over a savoury base rub like The Gospel to get both depth and a glossy, caramelised colour. It also works on wings and pork chops on the grill.
What is Meat Church Deez Nuts rub used for?
Deez Nuts is Meat Church's honey pecan BBQ rub, suited to pork, poultry and fish. Its sweet, nutty profile works well on pork ribs, pork loin, chicken thighs and salmon. Like most sweet rubs, keep an eye on high direct heat, as the sugar can scorch if the grill runs too hot.
Can you mix Meat Church rubs?
Yes, layering rubs is common practice in barbecue. A savoury base such as The Gospel or Holy Cow goes on first, then a sweeter rub like Honey Hog or Texas Sugar on top for colour and glaze. Meat Church's own The Holy Gospel is a ready-made blend of Holy Cow and The Gospel.
What is the best Meat Church rub for ribs?
Honey Hog is Meat Church's classic sweet rub for pork ribs, with honey powder and sugar for a caramelised bark. Texas Sugar gives a similar glossy, sweet bark, and Honey Hog Hot adds jalapeño (Hub Heat 5/11). Many cooks put a savoury base like The Gospel down first, then a sweet rub on top.
What is the best Meat Church rub for chicken?
For wings and thighs, Holy Voodoo is the Cajun-style pick (Hub Heat 4/11). Honey Hog and Honey Bacon give sweet, glossy skin, and The Gospel is the all-purpose option.
