Sweet, smoky and a little bit sour
This one covers all the bases, then throws a curveball. A massive cherry hit up top, chipotle smoke underneath, and a slap of sour to keep it honest — Cherry Chipotle builds a deep, glossy bark that punches out next-level ribs. And chicken? Home run on that one too.
The flavour
Big cherry sweetness leads, then chipotle smoke and a savoury salt base roll in behind it. A twist of citrus and sour keeps everything bright while a real 6/10 heat simmers underneath — fierce raw, mellowing as it cooks down into that signature ruby bark.
How to cook with it
- Rub thick onto pork ribs for a deep, sticky, ruby-dark bark
- Season chicken thighs and wings before grilling or smoking
- Take beef short ribs somewhere sweet, smoky and a bit wild
- Layer under a glaze for a competition-style finish
In the jar
Deep red and medium-coarse, with beet and cherry giving it that bark-building colour. Smells like a cherry orchard pitched next to a smoker. Heat lands at 6/10.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict
FAQ
How hot is Cherry Chipotle?
It sits at a genuine 6/10. The chipotle bites hard when the rub is raw, then mellows as it cooks down, so a heavy coat on ribs finishes warm rather than fiery.
What is it best on?
Pork ribs first — it builds a deep, glossy ruby bark. It is also excellent on chicken thighs, wings and beef short ribs.
Is it gluten friendly?
Smokes describe their range as gluten friendly rather than certified gluten free, and this blend contains soy and may carry traces of gluten (wheat) and peanut. Always check the physical label if you are cooking for an allergy.
Can I use it under a glaze?
Yes. Layer it under a BBQ glaze for a competition-style finish — the cherry and the glaze sugars caramelise together.
How much should I use?
Rub it on thick. This is a bark-builder, not a light seasoning; a generous even coat before a low-and-slow cook is what gives you the colour.
