The Boss of Burnt Ends Meat Candy Box

5.0 out of 5 from 18 reviews.

Burnt ends earned the nickname meat candy honestly, and the flavor comes from what goes on before and after the smoke. This box matches the rub to the sauce for you, so the sweet and the smoke land where they should.

  • Two rubs: Palisade Peach by The Spice Guy for pork belly, Lane's Brisket Rub for beef.
  • Two sauces: Lane's Pineapple Chipotle and Kinder's Hickory Brown Sugar.
  • The spritz bottle that keeps color building without washing the rub off.
  • A recipe card with both cooks, pork belly and brisket, and the timing.
