Why SPG Works So Well

• Simple ingredients, big flavour – Just salt, pepper, and garlic. No fillers, no additives.
• Perfect on its own – Or as a base layer under other rubs.
• Lets the meat shine – Enhances flavour rather than masking it.

Think of SPG as your BBQ’s best mate — reliable, bold, and always delivers.

How to Apply SPG

1. Pat the meat dry – For better crust and flavour.
2. Use a binder (optional) – Oil, mustard, or hot sauce helps it stick.
3. Season evenly – Sprinkle a light, even layer on all sides.
4. Let it rest – 10–15 mins before cooking allows the rub to settle.

SPG is brilliant on grills, smokers, ovens and even air fryers.
