Republic for steak and brisket
Signature Beef gives a savoury, steakhouse-style crust and is coarse enough for a hard sear or a low and slow. Black Out is darker and not sweet, for a bark you can spot from the back fence. Finish with Smokey BBQ Sauce. More in our steak seasonings and brisket rubs.
Republic for chicken, pork and ribs
Honey BBQ and Cherry Apple bring the sweet side for wings, pork ribs and pulled pork. Honey BBQ caramelises fast over direct heat, so stay close to the grill. Glaze with Honey BBQ Sauce late in the cook. See our rib rubs and BBQ sauces.
