Killer Hogs The Hot BBQ Rub takes Malcom Reed's best-selling The BBQ Rub and adds a shot of heat. It's not crazy hot, just enough to boost the original's profile. Developed by the Killer Hogs Championship BBQ Team, it brings out the natural flavor of the meat and builds the same beautiful mahogany bark on pork, beef and poultry, with a warmer finish.

Flavor Profile

• Sweetness: Forward. Brown sugar and cane sugar, the same as the original.
• Heat: Medium. Noticeably warmer than the original BBQ Rub, but not overpowering.
• Savory notes: Garlic, onion, paprika, mustard and a hint of orange peel.
• Color: A deep red-mahogany bark.

Best For

• Pork ribs
• Pork butt and pulled pork
• Chicken wings and thighs
• Pork chops and beef

How to Use

Apply over a light binder for ribs, pork butt or chicken. For layered competition flavor, start with Killer Hogs The A.P. Rub as a base. For a final pop of flavor, add a light dusting to the finished meat right before serving. Like the original, it contains sugar, so low-and-slow heat works best.

Pairs Well With

• Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub: blend half-and-half to dial in your heat level
• Killer Hogs The A.P. Rub: the savory base layer
• Meat Mitch Whomp! Competition BBQ Sauce: a sweet-heat glaze to match

Sizes Available
