No black pepper means it plays nice with people who find pepper-forward rubs harsh, without going soft on flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe flavour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront is citrus — real orange and lemon lift the first hit.

Citrus up front, chilli held on a short leash — it's the shaker he'd smuggle out first. Oil the meat before you shake it on, two coats if the cut's a big one, and let the crust actually form before you flip. Finish the plate with Rum and Que's Meat Juice Glaze for shine, or Uncle Mungos' Chipotle BBQ if you want a little more smoke behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions answered\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs The Adventurer actually spicy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — it's mild.
