BUTCHERS AXE: Basecamp All-Purpose Seasoning – 190g

Every good adventure starts at Basecamp

Basecamp is the Butchers Axe all-purpose rub — bold, balanced and packed with savoury flavour, built to season anything you throw at it. It's the one that lives next to the stove as much as the smoker: sprinkle, cook, done. When you're not sure which jar to reach for, this is the answer.

The flavour

Rounded and savoury from front to back — salt-and-spice forward with a gentle balancing sweetness. There's no single loud note; it's built to lift the meat or veg underneath rather than take over, which is exactly what makes an all-purpose blend earn its keep.

How to cook with it

• Season steak, chops or chicken before grilling for an easy savoury crust.
• Toss potatoes, pumpkin or mixed veg in oil and Basecamp before roasting.
• Shake through mince, rissoles or sausages for everyday flavour.
• Sprinkle over eggs, avo toast or a tray bake when you want a quick lift.

In the shaker

A savoury all-purpose blend with a medium grind, easy to shake evenly over anything. It bonds to oiled surfaces and seasons right through the cook.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

No manifest, no problem — this jar goes wherever the fridge door opens. Dry-brine your protein with it the night before for a deeper crust, then build the plate with Fancy Hanks BBQ Sauce Original and a smear of Tracklements Mango & Chilli Chutney on the side. — Cap'n Darryl "Second Coat"
