Want to BBQ like a world-famous pitmaster? Here's your chance, with Aaron Franklin's rub recipe for ribs!

If you'd rather buy than blend, see our rib rubs and sauces.

The Big Rib Energy Rib Rub and Sauce Box

5.0 out of 5 from 6 reviews.

Competition ribs get built in layers. The rub sets the bark, a light spritz keeps color building without washing it off, and the sauce only shows up in the last stretch so it sets instead of burning. This box has all three parts already matched.

  • Heath Riles Competition BBQ Rub for the bark, plus Sweet Heat Seasoning by The Spice Guy.
  • Two competition sauces: Southern Gal's by Old Southern BBQ and Riffs Smokehouse Voodoo Child.
  • The spritz bottle and silicone mop brush for the parts of the cook most people skip.
  • Two full rib recipes on the included card, with the timing written out.
