Sticky Situation BBQ Box
Sweet Heat & Sticky Sauce Box
Welcome to The Ultimate BBQ Experience: Sticky Situation! Some BBQ flavors are so good they leave a mess behind, and that is exactly what inspired this pitmaster-curated grill box. The Sticky Situation BBQ Box is loaded with sweet heat, sticky glazes, bold beefy flavor, and backyard BBQ favorites built to shine on ribs, wings, burgers, and burnt ends alike.
From sticky BBQ meatloaf and peach habanero pig shots to triple-threat bacon cheeseburgers, glazed spare ribs, and pork belly burnt end sliders, this box was curated to help you glaze, layer, and finish like a true pitmaster. Two sauces, two rubs, and a backyard grilling essential work together so you can build flavor across every cook.
Sticky Fingers Classic Original BBQ Sauce: A Southern-style BBQ sauce with the perfect balance of rich sweetness, tangy tomato, and authentic cherrywood smoke. It clings and caramelizes on the grill for that glossy, finger-licking finish.
Bless Yer Heart BBQ Rub by The Spice Guy: A sweet-and-savory all-purpose rub built on brown sugar, honey, smoked paprika, ancho chile, and real hickory. It layers on a flavorful base and builds a beautiful caramelized bark.
Kosmos Q Peach Habanero BBQ Sauce: Sweet peach up front with a habanero kick on the finish, from a recipe Kosmos Q has won multiple competitions with. It glazes into a glossy, sticky sweet-heat coat that keeps people coming back.
Meat Mitch Steer Season Rub: A beef-forward, World Championship-winning seasoning built for steaks, burgers, and burnt ends. Bold and savory, it lets the meat lead while building a serious crust.
Grill Pinz 8-Pack: FDA-approved, BPA-free grilling pins that hold bacon-wrapped and stacked cuts together on the grate, so nothing falls apart or slips through the grates over the fire.
Happy grilling,
The Grill Masters Club Team

Featured Sauce: Sticky Fingers Classic Original BBQ Sauce
🔥 Sticky Fingers Classic Original BBQ Sauce - Rich Sweetness, Tangy Tomato, and Authentic Cherrywood Smoke
Some sauces try too hard. Sticky Fingers Classic Original BBQ Sauce keeps things simple with the perfect balance of rich sweetness, tangy tomato flavor, and authentic natural cherrywood smoke. Made with real brown sugar and crafted to capture the true spirit of Southern barbecue, it is the kind of all-purpose sauce that disappears fast at cookouts, tailgates, and family dinners.
The subtle cherrywood smoke adds depth without overpowering, while brown sugar creates a smooth, slightly sweet finish. It is thick enough to glaze and versatile enough to dip, which makes it the anchor sauce of the Sticky Situation box. Brush it on ribs during the final stage of the cook to build that glossy, sticky, finger-licking coat, then use whatever is left for dunking.

Featured Rub: Bless Yer Heart BBQ Rub by The Spice Guy
🔥 Bless Yer Heart BBQ Rub by The Spice Guy - Sweet Southern BBQ Flavor With a Hickory-Kissed Finish
Some seasonings are spicy, some are sweet. Bless Yer Heart BBQ Rub by The Spice Guy delivers the best of both worlds with rich brown sugar, honey granules, smoky paprika, ancho chile, garlic, onion, and real hickory flavor. Inspired by classic Southern barbecue traditions, it layers sweet, smoky, and savory flavor from the first bite to the last.
This is the rub that builds your base layer in the Sticky Situation box. The combination of honey, molasses, tomato powder, mustard, cumin, and hickory creates a beautiful caramelized bark on smoked meats and works across multiple proteins. Season generously before you smoke ribs low and slow, grill chicken over open flame, or pat down a pork shoulder for an all-day cook, then finish with Sticky Fingers or Kosmos Q for a layered sweet-heat glaze.
💡 Why You'll Love It

Vendor: Kosmos Q
Featured Recipes: Peach Habanero Pig Shots, Peach Glazed Spare Ribs
About the Vendor:
Kosmos Q started in 2009 out of a linen closet in Tuttle, Oklahoma, with $500 from founder Kosmo's last good credit card and a whole lot of reasons it probably shouldn't have worked. Kosmo knew a thing or two about overcoming adversity. He spent much of his childhood in the burn ward at Shriners Hospital in Galveston after a home accident, and got his first taste of cooking flipping onion burgers at Roberts Grill in El Reno, Oklahoma.
While driving a hazardous-waste truck around Oklahoma City, Kosmo started cooking barbecue on the weekends and hit the competition circuit with a little camp smoker parked next to the pros and their big rigs. He took first in ribs his first day out and was bitten by the BBQ bug for life. After one product maker blew him off when he asked for help, Kosmo set out to build his own line, and went on to win five championships, including the 2015 World Steak Championship and the 2015 World BBQ Championship. The hashtag he printed on the back of his shirt, #ITJUSTWINS, became the Kosmos Q slogan.
Today Kosmos Q ships over 30 different products, including injections, rubs, marinades, sauces, and rib glazes, to more than 170,000 customers worldwide, with a YouTube following that has racked up over 19 million views. From their state-of-the-art blending and packaging facility in Tuttle, Oklahoma, they move around ten thousand pounds of spices in a single month, selling across the United States and into the UK and Switzerland. In 2022 they launched The Kosmos Q Lab, a members-only community that gets to try experimental flavors every month.
Every product is engineered to layer together for competition-level flavor and put through vigorous testing, because as Kosmo puts it, if it is not good enough for Kosmos Q, it is not good enough for you. The mission has stayed the same since day one: help barbecue fanatics make the most badass Q on the planet while creating unforgettable memories with family and friends.

Featured Seasoning: Meat Mitch Steer Season Rub
🔥 Meat Mitch Steer Season Rub - Bold, Beef-First Flavor Built to Build a Serious Crust
Meat Mitch Steer Season Rub is the beef rub that carried Meat Mitch to a 1st Place World Championship in Beef at Memphis in May. Built by a Kansas City competition team, this gluten-free, Non-GMO blend is married together to bring out the best in your beef with chili-pepper warmth, a touch of brown sugar, and a deep umami backbone that builds a serious crust.
In the Sticky Situation box, Steer Season is your beefy foundation. From ribeyes and NY strips to brisket, skirt steak, roasts, and wild game, this is the seasoning you reach for when beef is the main event. Pat the meat dry, season generously across every surface, and let it rest 10 to 20 minutes so the rub grips and forms a bark before it hits the heat. Use it as a base layer on burnt ends, then finish with a sticky glaze for a savory-sweet bite.
💡 Why You'll Love It
- Bold and Beef-First: Salt-forward and savory with chili pepper, paprika, and turmeric.
- Serious Crust: A deep umami backbone helps build a hard-searing bark.
- Balanced Sweetness: Just enough brown sugar to round out the savory depth.
- Clean Label: Gluten-free and Non-GMO.
