Product Overview
About This Rub

The Bad-Ass Brisket Rub is designed around the fundamentals of good brisket seasoning: salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika. No sugar. No fillers. No anti-caking agents. The kind of ingredient list you can read in under five seconds because there is nothing to hide.

It works across the whole cook. Apply it generously before the smoke, let it sit, and let the bark do its thing. Because it is sugar free it will not burn at high temps, making it suitable for hot and fast as well as traditional low and slow. It holds up through a long cook without turning bitter.

01Storage
Keep It Dry
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and steam. Do not store above the stove or next to the grill. Moisture causes clumping even in rubs with no anti-caking agents.
Sealing the Jar
Always reseal tightly after use. If the rub has been near a heat source or moisture has gotten in, spread it on a tray and let it dry out before resealing.
Shelf Life
Best used within 12 months of opening. No preservatives means the flavour compounds in the pepper and paprika will fade over time. Buy in a size you will use within a few months for best results.
No Refrigeration Needed
A dry spice rub does not need refrigeration. Room temperature pantry storage is correct. Refrigerating can introduce condensation when the jar warms back up, which causes clumping.
02Application
Apply Before the Cook
Apply at least 30 minutes before cooking. For brisket, applying the night before and refrigerating uncovered is ideal. The salt draws moisture to the surface and then pulls it back in, taking the seasoning with it.
How Much to Use
Be generous. Brisket is a large cut and needs even coverage. Apply from height to get an even spread, then press lightly to help it adhere. Every surface should be coated, including the sides.
Using a Binder
A thin layer of beef tallow or mustard applied before the rub helps the seasoning stick and can improve bark formation. The mustard flavour cooks off completely. Optional but useful on larger cuts.
Beyond Brisket
Works on any beef cut. Good on short ribs, chuck, and burgers. The salt and pepper base is also solid on chicken thighs or roasted vegetables if you want a savoury, smoke-forward flavour without sweetness.
Recipe Suggestions
Recipes
01
Low and Slow Smoked BrisketSmoker  Â·  10-14 hours  Â·  Serves 8-10
â–¼
You'll Need
1 whole brisket (4-6kg), trimmedBad-Ass Brisket Rub, generous amount 2 tbsp beef tallow or mustard (binder, optional)Butcher paper or foil for wrapping Wood of choice — oak or post oak recommended
Method
1Trim brisket to roughly 6mm fat cap. Pat dry with paper towel.
2Apply a thin layer of tallow or mustard across all surfaces. Apply rub generously from height for even coverage. Press lightly to adhere. Rest uncovered in the fridge overnight if possible.
3Preheat smoker to 110-120°C. Place brisket fat side up. Smoke until internal temp reaches 74-76°C — usually 6-8 hours.
4Wrap tightly in butcher paper. Return to smoker. Continue until internal temp reaches 93-96°C and the probe slides in with no resistance — usually another 4-6 hours.
5Rest in a cooler or warm oven for at least 1-2 hours before slicing. Slice against the grain. Flat first, then the point.
Tip: The stall around 70-74°C is normal. Do not rush it with more heat. The wrap is the fix. Because this rub is sugar free, there is no risk of the bark burning during a long cook.
02
Smoked Beef Short RibsSmoker  Â·  6-8 hours  Â·  Serves 3-4
â–¼
You'll Need
1 rack beef short ribs (plate ribs)Bad-Ass Brisket Rub Beef tallow (binder, optional)Butcher paper Oak or hickory wood
Method
1Remove the membrane from the bone side of the ribs. Pat dry.
2Apply tallow as a binder if using. Season all sides generously with the rub. Rest 30 minutes at room temperature.
3Smoke at 120-135°C, bone side down, for 4-5 hours until a dark bark has formed.
4Wrap in butcher paper. Return to smoker until internal temp reaches 93-95°C and probe is tender — approximately 2-3 more hours.
5Rest 30-45 minutes before slicing between the bones.
Tip: Short ribs have a lot of intramuscular fat. The salt and pepper base in this rub complements the richness without adding competing sweetness. Let the beef do the work.
03
Smash Burgers with Brisket Rub SeasoningCast iron / Griddle  Â·  15 min  Â·  Serves 2-3
â–¼
You'll Need
500g beef mince, 80/20 fat ratioBad-Ass Brisket Rub Burger buns, toastedAmerican cheese slices White onion, thinly slicedPickles, mustard, sauce of choice
Method
1Divide mince into 80-90g balls. Do not season until just before cooking.
2Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle plate over high heat until smoking. Add a little tallow or oil.
3Place a ball on the hot surface. Season the top with the brisket rub. Smash flat with a spatula immediately. Press hard.
4Cook 90 seconds until the edges are crispy and brown. Flip. Add cheese. Cook 30-45 seconds more.
5Stack double if desired. Assemble with onion, pickles, and sauce. Serve immediately.
Tip: Season after smashing, not before. The rub on the exposed face goes directly onto the hot surface when you flip, giving you seasoned crust on both sides without burning the spices before the cook starts.
