SMOKES SEASONING: The Standard BBQ Rub – 220g

The one jar to rule them all

Every backyard cook's got that one shaker that never leaves arm's reach. The Standard is Smokes' original savoury blend — the classic BBQ flavour you already know and love, built to make anything off the grill taste like you meant to do that. It's the workhorse, the everyday hero, the mate who turns up to every cook and never lets you down.

The flavour

Front is clean salt and gentle sweetness. The middle rolls in warm garlic and onion with a whisper of chipotle for backbone, and it finishes on a soft curl of natural smoke. Balanced, moreish and never shouty — this is seasoning, not a dare.

How to cook with it

• Dust over snags, burgers and steaks straight before they hit the grill
• Toss through wedges or roast spuds with a good glug of oil
• Season a whole chook inside and out, then roast or rotisserie
• Sprinkle on scrambled eggs, toasties and even a bloody Mary rim

In the jar

A fine-to-medium savoury blend, warm brown flecked with parsley and spice. Free-flowing, clings well to oiled meat, and smells like a Sunday cook the second you pop the lid.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

If I could only smuggle one jar past the border, it'd be this one — The Standard just works on everything. Dust it on, grill it out, then finish with a squeeze of FANCY HANKS: BBQ Sauce Original and a dab of TRACKLEMENTS: Strong Horseradish Cream on the side. Grab the lot from the Smokes Seasoning collection. Trust your smuggler — every pantry needs a standard.
