It all started with two childhood friends in the Northern Ozark hills of Missouri. Weekends were often spent with friends and family gathered around a BBQ pit with the smoke from hickory wood in the air. Fast-forward several years and over 17 barbecue Barbecue Grand Championships later, and you have R Butts R Smokin’ hand-crafted rubs... the very same used to win competition cooks are available for grilling and smoking in the backyard. These rubs feature some great tasting and complex ranges; some start sweet and end with heat while others amp up the savory flavors of beef, pork or chicken.
