Sweet meets smoky, with a wink of heat
Blues Hog Sweet & Savory brings sweet and smoky spices together and finishes with a subtle hint of heat — a competition-level blend that flatters everything from pulled pork to a bowl of popcorn. The shaker for the cook who wants a little of everything in one shake.
The flavour
Sweet up front, a smoky, savoury middle, then a gentle warmth creeps in on the finish — enough to notice, never enough to scare the kids off the table. Balanced, moreish and built to caramelise on the grill.
How to cook with it
- Rub a pork shoulder heavily and smoke low and slow for sweet, barky pulled pork.
- Dust pork ribs before a glaze so the sugars catch and caramelise.
- Toss chicken wings in it before the grill for a sticky-sweet, smoky skin.
- Shake it over hot buttered popcorn for a bold movie-night snack — the rogue move worth trying.
In the shaker
An even, medium grind in a shaker-top bottle — sprinkles clean and catches on a glaze without clumping.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict
🏴☠️ Darryl's Secret: Sweet & Savory Pulled Pork
Low, slow and strictly below decks.
You'll need: 2.5kg pork shoulder; 4 tbsp Sweet & Savory Seasoning; 2 tbsp yellow mustard; ½ cup apple juice in a spray bottle.
Do this:
- Smear the shoulder with mustard and coat it heavily with the seasoning.
- Smoke at 120°C, spritzing with apple juice every hour after the first 3 hours.
- When the bark is set and the inside hits about 74°C, wrap it tight in foil.
- Cook on to 94°C, rest for an hour, then pull.
Why it works: The mustard helps the rub grip, and wrapping pushes through the stall without losing the bark.
FAQ
Why is it so cheap?
It's on runout because it's reached or passed its best-before date, so it's heavily discounted. Best-before is a guide to peak quality, not a safety cut-off — every product is quality-checked before it ships and is still perfectly good to use.
How hot is Sweet & Savory?
Just a subtle hint — it's sweet and smoky first, with a gentle warmth on the finish rather than real chilli heat.
What's it best on?
Pulled pork, ribs, brisket and wings — and it's a surprise winner shaken over popcorn.
Is it gluten free?
Blues Hog list it as gluten free — always confirm against the physical label if you have an allergy.
