HARDCORE CARNIVORE: Camo Rub – 297g

Built for the wild stuff

Hardcore Carnivore Camo is the bolder blend in the family — a fragrant, smoky-sweet game and lamb seasoning built to stand up to robust, full-flavoured meats. Where a subtle rub gets lost, Camo leans in with hickory smoke, honey and a tangy vinegar edge. It's incredible on venison, and secretly just as good on pork.

The flavour

Smoky hickory and savoury spice lead, lifted by a gentle honey sweetness and a bright hit of vinegar tang on the finish. Bold and rounded — enough character to match backstrap, shoulder or a big pork roast without overwhelming it.

How to cook with it

• Season venison backstrap or a haunch heavily, then grill hot and fast and rest it well — the honey and vinegar tame that gaminess beautifully.
• Rub a lamb shoulder all over and slow-roast until it pulls apart; the hickory reads like a day on the smoker.
• Coat a pork shoulder the night before for a smoky-sweet bark on pulled pork.
• Great on kangaroo, goat and other lean game where you want flavour without a heavy chilli hit.
• Rogue move: shake it over duck fat potatoes or a tray of roast root veg for a smoky-sweet finish.

In the shaker

A savoury, brown-toned seasoning flecked with spice, carrying hickory smoke, honey and vinegar notes. No chilli heat — it's all about smoky-sweet depth for stronger meats.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

The Smuggler reckons Camo earns its keep on the wild stuff — venison, backstrap, a shoulder of lamb. Pat the game dry and season it heavy; it can take it. Slow-cook it alongside a mop of Smoke on Wheels Bootleg Bourbon BBQ Sauce, then serve with a sharp spoon of Drunken Sailor Whisky Piccalilli Relish to cut the richness.
