The Story Behind the Rub
In January 2009, a friend of ours competed in the San Antonio Rodeo BBQ Competition against 220+ teams using a new blend we'd been testing. The results were extraordinary: 4th place chicken, 3rd place ribs, 7th place brisket - earning him Grand Champion overall!
He went on to repeat this success at multiple competitions: winning San Antonio twice, taking Grand Champion at Hold'em and Hit'em (120+ teams), and claiming first place at a West Texas competition (97 teams). We knew we had something special.
After extensive customer testing, many prefer it to our original. Nicknamed "The Edge," this rub gives competitive pitmasters and backyard cooks alike a distinct advantage.
Flavor Profile
Slightly less spicy than the original, with prominent notes of black pepper, garlic, and onion. Brown sugar sweetness creates a unique seasoning profile that intensifies natural meat flavors.
