What makes Smokey so special

Made with real cherry powder for natural sweetness

Cherry Force isn’t just flavoured — it’s powered by real cherry. That gives it a fruit-forward sweetness that caramelises beautifully, especially on ribs, pork belly or chicken thighs.

Developed with award-winning Texas pitmaster

This isn’t just another sweet rub. Cherry Force was created in collaboration with Willy Tischina — one of the most respected names on the BBQ circuit. It’s competition-ready, but built for backyard cooking too.

Balanced with warming spice and gentle heat

Behind the sweetness sits a perfectly balanced mix of garlic, jalapeño, paprika and mustard. It adds depth, warmth and a little fire — but without masking the meat.

Designed to stand out in every cook

With its deep red colour and Star Wars-inspired swagger, Cherry Force doesn’t just taste great — it looks incredible on the grill. It's the kind of rub that turns heads and earns repeat buys.

Cherry Force BBQ rub FAQ

Cherry Force shines on pork ribs, pulled pork, chicken thighs, and even beef shorties. It’s perfect for anything that loves a kiss of sweetness and a sticky, smoky finish.

It’s primarily sweet with fruity cherry notes and a smoky backbone. There's a touch of warmth, but no real heat – perfect for family-friendly BBQ.

Yes – it pairs beautifully with sweet BBQ sauces, cherry glazes, or spicy sriracha-honey drizzles. Add sauce towards the end of the cook to avoid burning.

Definitely. It’s designed to caramelise and create a killer crust whether you’re cooking hot and fast or low and slow. Just watch your heat if grilling directly, as the sugars can char.

Try it with ribs and grilled corn, or dust it on chicken wings with a cherry cola glaze. It also layers beautifully over SPG or Revolution for a complex, bark-building combo.
