BLUES HOG: Original Dry Rub Seasoning – 156g Shaker

Southern flavour, one shake at a time

Blues Hog's ode to classic southern-style barbecue — the go-to blend that puts bold, balanced flavour on everything you throw on the fire. Built for the cook who wants one shaker that handles ribs, wings, brisket and a tray of spuds without missing a beat.

The flavour

Slightly sweet on the front, then a savoury, earthy depth rolls through the middle and settles into a warm, rounded finish. It works like a dry marinade — sit it on the meat and it draws in, so every bite carries the seasoning rather than just the surface.

How to cook with it

• Coat pork ribs the night before and smoke low and slow for a sweet-savoury bark.
• Dust chicken wings before a hot grill or air-fryer for crisp, seasoned skin.
• Rub a whole pork tenderloin and reverse-sear for an even, earthy crust.
• Shake it over roast potatoes or wedges in the last toss of oil — the rogue move that always disappears first.

In the shaker

Comes in a shaker-top bottle with an even, medium grind built to sprinkle straight onto the meat — no clumping, no measuring, just shake and cook.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl's run plenty of rubs past customs, and this all-rounder earns its keep. Season the meat, mop it with Danny Balboas Fight Sauce as it cooks, then finish the plate with a swipe of Tracklements Strong English Mustard to cut through the sweet. One shaker, a whole rack sorted — no fuss.
