Pitmaster’s Choice BBQ Rub

Strip Steak Spice Blend delivers a Kansas City–style sweet and smoky profile built for ribs, pork, and brisket. Brown and white sugars create a caramelized crust, while hickory smoke salt and paprika bring steady smoke and deep color. Black pepper and cayenne add gentle heat, with mustard, onion, garlic, and warm spices rounding out the savory base. Use it for grilling, smoking, or stirred into sour cream for a quick barbecue dip.
