Smokin Hoggz for ribs and pulled pork
Rib Rub leads with brown sugar for a sweet, caramelising bark, then salt, garlic and onion, with chilli and paprika for colour and a gentle warmth. For spare ribs or baby backs, use a thin mustard binder and an even coat on both sides, then go low and slow. Go heavier on a pork shoulder for a sticky bark. More in rib rubs and pulled pork.

The Applewood rub is sweet up front with a light warmth behind it, and it goes on chicken, pork, seafood and veg. Dust chicken thighs and grill over medium heat to 75°C. It is even good on popcorn. Browse more all-purpose rubs and competition BBQ.
