BBQ rubs 

The simple secret to a great Australian BBQ lies in Smokey Q’s BBQ rubs and sauces that we have created tirelessly and are brimming with bold flavours and perfectly balanced profiles. These aren't just any meat rubs, but the best BBQ rub you can get your hands on in Australia. 

Each rub is a symphony of spices, handpicked for their unique ability to enhance the natural flavours of the meat. We've spent countless hours perfecting these blends, aiming to create a sensory experience that takes your BBQ to the next level. 

Whether you're grilling up a storm on a sunny afternoon or slow cooking on a chilly evening, our BBQ rubs are the secret ingredient that'll make your taste buds dance. Trust us, it's the Australian way to BBQ! 

Meat rubs 

In Smokey Q’s quest for the ultimate BBQ rub, we've discovered that the world of meat rubs is as diverse and exciting as Australia itself. From the spicy kick of a cayenne pepper blend to the sweet and smoky allure of a brown sugar and paprika mix, there's a rub to suit every BBQ enthusiast's palate. 

Let's look at some of our favourite meat rub combinations:

Rub	Best For
Original BBQ	Beef and Ribs
Sweet Hog Honey	Pork and fish
Zesty Salt Blend	Seafood and veggies
Bulls Head BBQ Sauce	Everything From Steak to Pulled Pork!

 

Best BBQ rub 

After trying a myriad of different combinations, we've found that the best BBQ rub not only enhances the flavour of the meat, but also creates a caramelised crust, or 'bark', that's simply irresistible.
