HEAVENLY HELL: Big GCs Sweet & Savoury Rub – 150g

The perfect all-rounder

Sweet & Savoury is Big GC's "Everyday Perfect BBQ" all-purpose rub — the sweet-meets-savoury balance that works for low-and-slow or hot-and-fast. It's the versatile shaker that suits a lazy Sunday brisket just as well as a midweek tray of chops, and it always lands right in the middle: not too sweet, not too sharp.

The flavour

A gentle sweetness up front — think brown sugar and paprika — balanced by a savoury, garlicky base and a touch of pepper. It caramelises beautifully on the heat and finishes rounded and moreish, flattering pretty much anything you put it on.

How to cook with it

• Rub pork ribs or a shoulder and cook low and slow for a sweet, savoury bark.
• Season chicken pieces before the grill for a caramelised, well-browned skin.
• Hit a steak or chops hot and fast for a quick sweet-savoury crust.
• Use it as your everyday all-purpose shaker on burgers, snags and veg.
• Rogue move: dust it over roast pumpkin or sweet potato for a caramelised edge.

In the shaker

A savoury-sweet, medium-grind blend with a warm, reddish colour. It clings well, caramelises on the heat and builds an appetising, balanced crust.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Sweet rub, sticky mate, sharp finish — that's the plate. Lacquer ribs or chicken late with Taippan BBQ Competition Glaze, then serve a spoon of Drunken Sailor Beetroot & Gin Relish alongside to cut all that sweetness. Go easy over direct heat — sweet rubs love to catch.

FAQ
