Description  

At a glance

Heat: Hot — strong raw, softens as it cooks (Hub Heat 6/11)

Size: 230g shaker

Origin: Crafted in Alberta, Canada; blended in Australia

Dietary: Contains soy; may contain traces of gluten (wheat) and peanut — always check the physical label

Best on: Pork ribs, chicken, wings, beef short ribs, competition cooks

Sweet, smoky and a little bit sour

This one covers all the bases, then throws a curveball. A massive cherry hit up top, chipotle smoke underneath, and a slap of sour to keep it honest — Cherry Chipotle builds a deep, glossy bark that punches out next-level ribs. And chicken? Home run on that one too.

The flavour

Big cherry sweetness leads, then chipotle smoke and a savoury salt base roll in behind it. A twist of citrus and sour keeps everything bright while a real heat (Hub Heat 6/11) simmers underneath — fierce raw, mellowing as it cooks down into that signature ruby bark.

How to cook with it

  • Rub thick onto pork ribs for a deep, sticky, ruby-dark bark
  • Season chicken thighs and wings before grilling or smoking
  • Take beef short ribs somewhere sweet, smoky and a bit wild
  • Layer under a glaze for a competition-style finish

In the jar

Deep red and medium-coarse, with beet and cherry giving it that bark-building colour. Smells like a cherry orchard pitched next to a smoker. Heat lands at Hub Heat 6/11.

Ingredients & Dietary

Ingredients: Sugars, spices, sea salt, salt, beet powder, dehydrated garlic, dehydrated onion, natural and artificial cherry flavour (contains dextrose), silicon dioxide, phosphate, citric acid, smoke flavour.

Dietary: Contains soy; may contain traces of gluten (wheat) and peanut — always check the physical label.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl Rubb, The Rub Smuggler

Cherry and chipotle shouldn't work this well together, but here we are — sweet, smoky, and just wild enough to keep the neighbours talking. Rub it thick on ribs, glaze them with ELK Creek: Country Wing Sauce, then set out Drunken Sailor: Jalapeño & Tequila Relish for a tangy chilli kick on the side. Grab the full range from the Smokes Seasoning collection. Trust your smuggler.

🏴‍☠️ Darryl's Secret: Ruby-Bark Baby Back Ribs

Sweet, smoky and a touch criminal.

You'll need: 1 rack pork baby back ribs; 3 tbsp Cherry Chipotle; 1 tbsp oil; 250ml apple juice in a spray bottle.

Do this:

  1. Remove the membrane, rub the ribs with oil and coat thickly with the rub.
  2. Smoke at 120°C for about 3 hours, spritzing every 45 minutes once the bark sets.
  3. Wrap in foil with a splash of apple juice for 1 hour, then unwrap and cook another 30–45 minutes until they bend and crack when lifted.

Why it works: The heat that's fierce raw mellows over a long cook into that ruby bark.

FAQ

How hot is Cherry Chipotle?

It sits at a genuine Hub Heat 6/11. The chipotle bites hard when the rub is raw, then mellows as it cooks down, so a heavy coat on ribs finishes warm rather than fiery.

What is it best on?

Pork ribs first — it builds a deep, glossy ruby bark. It is also excellent on chicken thighs, wings and beef short ribs.

Is it gluten friendly?

Smokes describe their range as gluten friendly rather than certified gluten free, and this blend contains soy and may carry traces of gluten (wheat) and peanut. Always check the physical label if you are cooking for an allergy.

Can I use it under a glaze?

Yes. Layer it under a BBQ glaze for a competition-style finish — the cherry and the glaze sugars caramelise together.

How much should I use?

Rub it on thick. This is a bark-builder, not a light seasoning; a generous even coat before a low-and-slow cook is what gives you the colour.
