SCHUEYS BBQ: Everything Rub – 300g

Schueys BBQ Everything Rub is a lemon pepper all-purpose rub from Dean "Schuey" Schumann, Australia's BBQ Content Creator of the Year, made on the Gold Coast by Heavenly Hell. Fresh, vibrant and built to go on everything: chicken, pork, beef, lamb, seafood, veg and chips.

The flavour

Schuey wanted one shaker you could reach for on any cook, and this is it. Australian sea salt and roasted garlic set the base, lemon peel and native lemon myrtle bring the zing, and cracked black pepper, coriander seed and cumin give it backbone. Rosemary, parsley, thyme and oregano keep it fresh and green, porcini mushroom adds a deep savoury note, and a trio of smoked chillies (poblano, chipotle and chilaca) leaves a soft, smoky warmth rather than a burn.

The partnership

Everything Rub is blended for Schueys BBQ by Heavenly Hell in Currumbin Waters, Queensland, one of Australia's most respected premium rub and sauce makers. Schuey's personality and Heavenly Hell's blending make for a seriously good first drop.

How to cook with it

• Chicken: Pat dry, shake on an even coat and cook hot, or spatchcock a whole bird and roast over indirect heat until the thickest part hits 74°C.
• Pork and lamb chops: Season both sides 20 minutes before they go on and sear hard.
• Seafood: Light dusting on fish fillets or prawns, finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
• Everything else: Roast spuds, corn, chips, eggs and avo toast. The name says it all.

In the shaker

A golden, herb-flecked blend with visible lemon peel, green herbs and flecks of red chilli. Flip-top lid with shaker holes on one side and an open spoon side on the other.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl reckons this is the shaker that lives next to the salt and pepper and slowly replaces both. Zesty enough for chook and prawns, savoury enough for a chop, and those smoked chillies give it just enough swagger. Toss a tray of Everything Rub wings and set out a bowl of Cobra Chilli White Magic Alabama White BBQ Sauce for dunking: creamy, tangy and peppery, it's the classic partner for lemon pepper chicken. Doing a beefier cook? Run it alongside Heavenly Hell's own Cocaine Cowboy All Purpose Rub. Tip: it already has salt in it, so don't add more.
