Why Smokey Rebel Seasonings Come in Cans

Why We Put Our Seasonings in Cans

Most seasonings come in plastic tubs, shaker pots, or flimsy pouches. But not ours. At Smokey Rebel, every blend is sealed inside a pop-top aluminium can — and no, it’s not just because it looks cool (although it does).

This blog breaks down why our cans are better for freshness, function, sustainability, and flavour — and why once you try them, you won’t want to go back to plastic.

🥫 It Keeps Flavour Locked In

✅ Aluminium cans are airtight and lightproof
✅ They keep your rubs fresher for longer — up to 2 years
✅ Protects against stale spices and oxidised oils (a big issue with pouches)

When you crack open a Smokey Rebel can, you get the same punch of aroma and flavour we packed on day one. No flat smells. No fading spices. Just proper BBQ energy, sealed and ready.

🖐️ It’s More Practical for Cooking

🔥 Easy to pop open, reseal, and stack
🔥 No more clumsy shaker lids or resealing torn bags
🔥 Designed to work even with messy hands at the grill

Whether you're elbows-deep in brisket or flipping wings with one hand, our cans are built for how real people cook — not just how it looks on the shelf.

♻️ It’s More Sustainable Than You Think

♻️ Aluminium is one of the most recyclable materials in the world
🕒 Longer shelf life = less product waste
🧼 Minimalist labelling means no plastic sleeves or box fluff

We’re not claiming to be perfect, but we’re making conscious choices that cut waste without compromising on function. If you recycle your cans, they could be back on the shelf in under 60 days.

✨ And Yeah… It Looks Cool

🔥 Stands out on any shelf or spice rack
🔥 Makes a great gift — especially as part of a BBQ gift set
🔥 Turns your spice cupboard into something that actually sparks joy

We’ve heard customers compare our cans to craft beer. And honestly? We’re not mad about that. Each label is designed in-house and printed on matte stock for a premium finish that matches what’s inside.
