Aussie All-Rounder (sea salt, sweet paprika, mellow chipotle) and SPG are the everyday shakers for brisket, steak and snags. Outback Fiesta and Mexicana sort taco night. See beef and SPG.
Taipan BBQ for pork, chicken and lamb
Brazilian Pork suits ribs and pulled pork. Peri Peri is the hottest rub at Medium (5/11). Bollywood Butter Chicken, Mongolian Mint and Mediterranean Magic cover chook, lamb and fish. See chicken.
Taipan BBQ sauces and glazes
Brush Competition Glaze or a Sunday Glaze on late so it sets. Carolina and Bubblegum are Extreme (9/11); go easy. More in glazes and hot sauce.
Allergen note
Brazilian Pork and East Coast Buffalo Crystals contain mustard. Kartoffen contains chicken stock powder, so it isn't vegetarian. Check the label and ingredient list on each product page.
