LOOKING FOR A LITTLE SAUCY TREAT TO SPICE UP THE BBQ OFFERING THIS YEAR? WE’ VE GOT YOU COVERED:
Smokey Rebel, smokyrebel. com
Kent’ s Smokey Rebel is a range of artisan rubs that give you the freedom to do exactly what you want, however you want. Here, the team is all about breaking the rules and we’ re vouching for them on the flavour front too( in a good way!). Smokey, the adventurous and mischievous raccoon( we know- but keep reading!), has a deep passion for BBQ, which is why he( along with the team) has produced this range of delicious seasonings and sauces. We’ re BIG fans of the SPG Rub, the BBQ’ s holy trinity- it’ s salty and peppery in all the right places, with an added depth of roasted garlic. Great with beef, and equally as good with corn on the cob.
