What makes Smokey so special

Real hickory salt for authentic BBQ flavour

We use hickory salt — not artificial smoke flavourings — to deliver that deep, savoury BBQ character. It gives your pork cooks that unmistakable smoky edge, without overpowering the meat.

Balanced sweet, smoky and savoury profile

Crafted with demerara sugar, smoked paprika and garlic, Hickory Hog hits the sweet-spot between richness and spice. Whether you're cooking ribs, pork belly or pulled shoulder, it delivers a full-flavour finish with a gentle kick.

Designed to build beautiful bark on ribs and pork

Blended in small runs for peak freshness

Every batch is made by hand in small volumes to preserve freshness, flavour and colour. It means you get a rub that’s bold, bright and ready to perform the moment it hits your meat.
