Dietary: Gluten free, no MSG, no artificial colours — always check the physical label.

Best on: Pork, chicken, beef — a true all-rounder

The one rub that does everything

Hardcore Carnivore Red is the everyday hero — a coarse blend of classic spices with just a hint of heat, and a vivid colour that's totally natural. It's the best-kept secret of competition BBQ teams, built to season almost anything you throw on the fire. If Black is your beef specialist, Red is the all-rounder you reach for on autopilot.

The flavour

Garlic, coarse black pepper and paprika lead the way, sitting over a lightly sweet, well-salted base with just a whisper of chilli. Balanced, savoury and endlessly useful — it lifts without ever taking over.

How to cook with it

  • Coat pork ribs or a pork butt the night before and smoke low and slow for a deep, savoury crust.
  • Dust chicken thighs or wings generously before the grill — the paprika builds gorgeous colour and the hint of chilli wakes it up.
  • Season burgers, chops or a whole roast chook for an easy, everyday flavour hit.
  • Shake it over roast potatoes or wedges in the last toss for a savoury, rust-red finish.
  • Rogue move: stir a spoonful through a pot of chilli or a batch of homemade sausage mince.

In the shaker

A coarse, rust-red rub that builds a vivid, savoury crust on the cook. The colour is all natural (paprika and chilli, not dye), the grind is generous, and there's just a hint of heat behind the flavour.

Ingredients & Dietary

Ingredients: Sea Salt, White Sugar, Black Pepper, Dehydrated Garlic, Paprika, Dehydrated Onion, Chili Powder (Chili Pepper, Salt, Cumin, Oregano and Garlic), Natural Flavour, Silicon Dioxide (less than 2%, anti-caking).

Dietary: Gluten free, no MSG, no artificial colours. Always check the physical label for allergens and the most accurate ingredient information.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl Rubb, The Rub Smuggler

Darryl's orders: if you only keep one rub, make it this — the red workhorse that seasons everything from wings to pork butt. Get it on early and let it sit fifteen minutes so it grips before the heat. Cook the ribs alongside a mop of Uncle Mungos Chipotle BBQ, then rain a spoon of Blend BLING Chilli Oil Crunch over the finished plate for a bit of bite.

🏴‍☠️ Darryl's Secret: Rust-Red Weeknight Thighs

The everyday hero, doing its everyday job.

You'll need: 1kg skin-on chicken thighs; 2 tbsp Hardcore Carnivore Red Rub; 1 tbsp olive oil.

Do this:

  1. Pat the thighs dry, rub with the oil, then coat generously with Red and let them sit 15 minutes.
  2. Cook indirect at 180°C for 30–35 minutes, skin side up, until the thickest thigh reads 75°C.
  3. Move them over direct heat skin side down for 2–3 minutes to crisp the skin, then rest 5 minutes.

Why it works: The paprika in Red builds a deep rust colour while the indirect heat renders the skin.

FAQ

What is Hardcore Carnivore Red best for?
It's a true all-purpose rub — brilliant on pork and chicken, and equally at home on beef, burgers, wings and roast veg.

Is it spicy?
Only just — a Hub Heat 2/11 hint of warmth from chilli powder. It's about savoury, balanced flavour rather than heat.

Is Red gluten free?
Yes — it's made with no gluten-containing ingredients, no MSG and no artificial colours. Always check the physical label for allergens.

Is the red colour artificial?
No — the vivid colour comes naturally from paprika and chilli, with no artificial colours added.
