From Classic SPG to Competition-Style Barbecue Flavour
Sometimes salt, pepper and garlic (SPG) is all a good steak needs. For ribs and pulled pork, you might prefer a sweeter rub that develops a rich barbecue bark. If you enjoy a little heat, look for chilli-forward seasonings; for chicken and seafood, a lighter herb or citrus blend can work well. There is no single best BBQ rub – the right choice depends on what you're cooking and the flavour you enjoy.
Our evolving range includes popular names such as Smokey Joe's, Lane's BBQ, Meat Church and Hardcore Carnivore, alongside sauces and other barbecue favourites. Availability and individual products may change as we discover new flavours.
BBQ Sauces, Charcoal, Wood Pellets & Smoking Woods
Build flavour beyond the seasoning. Barbecue sauces can be used as a finishing glaze or served at the table, while charcoal, hardwood pellets and smoking wood help create the heat and smoke profile you're after. Explore our BBQ sauces and BBQ fuels, pellets and smoking woods to find the right match for your barbecue.
BBQ Rub Questions Answered
What is the difference between a BBQ rub and a BBQ sauce?
A dry rub is a blend of seasonings applied to food before or during cooking. A sauce is usually brushed on during the later stages of cooking or served with the finished meal. Many great barbecues use both.
When should I put a dry rub on meat?
It depends on the rub and the cut. Many rubs can go on shortly before cooking; larger cuts such as brisket and pork shoulder may benefit from being seasoned earlier. Follow the product directions, especially for blends with more salt or sugar.
Are BBQ rubs only for smokers?
Not at all. You can use BBQ rubs on gas barbecues, pellet grills, charcoal grills, flat plates and even in the kitchen. Choose a seasoning that suits the food and cooking temperature.
Where can I buy BBQ rubs in Perth?
You can shop The Rub Club at Hot Things, Perth, Western Australia, or order online for delivery. If you're unsure which rub will suit brisket, ribs, chicken or vegetables, ask our team for a recommendation.
