SMOKIN BOOTY: Gift Pack Triple Rub Set

Three Regions, One Box, Zero Guesswork

The Smokin' Booty Gift Pack Triple is the cheat code for anyone who can't decide which American BBQ region to cook like tonight. Three genuine regional styles — Kansas City, Memphis and Carolina — land in one tidy box, so the smoker-owning mate, the BBQ-mad dad or the total beginner gets three real flavour profiles to run without buying three separate jars.

The flavour

KC Butt Spice (Kansas City) opens sweet and smoky — the classic Kansas City profile built for pork butts, breasts and ribs, finishing with the kind of caramelised, competition-style crust that style is famous for.

Pig's Ass Rub (Memphis) runs sharper — vinegar, chilli, garlic and paprika up front, just enough sweetness in the middle to keep it balanced, and a warm, savoury finish that never tips into real heat.

Rub Some Butt (Carolina) is the tang-forward one — mustard and vinegar blended with savoury spices, front to back, the flavour behind the best pulled pork the Deep South's roadside BBQ shacks turn out.

How to cook with it

• Rub KC Butt Spice generously onto pork butt or ribs before a low-and-slow smoke — it's built to bark up sweet and dark over a long cook.
• Season chicken, steak or seafood with Pig's Ass Rub 30+ minutes ahead of the grill so the vinegar and chilli have time to work into the surface.
• Work Rub Some Butt into pulled pork straight out of the smoker, or use it as a pre-cook rub on shoulder for a genuine Carolina-style pull.
• Run all three across one cook — say, ribs in KC, wings in Memphis, pulled pork in Carolina — for a backyard BBQ flight without leaving the yard.
• Keep a jar by the stove for weeknight cooking — any of the three lifts a roast chicken or grilled veg well outside a dedicated BBQ session.

In the shaker

KC Butt Spice sits amber-brown with visible flecks of paprika and brown sugar. Pig's Ass Rub runs a darker reddish-brown, flecked through with chilli and paprika. Rub Some Butt is the pale mustard-yellow of the three, true to its mustard-and-vinegar Carolina base.

Ingredients & Dietary

This gift box carries three separate spice blends and the full ingredient list isn't itemised on the outer box copy sourced for this listing.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Three regions, one crate, no customs declaration required. Darryl reckons if you're building a bigger spread, run Loot N' Booty: Apple Cherry BBQ Sauce alongside the KC rub for a genuine mop, and finish pulled pork off Rub Some Butt with a spoon of Drunken Sailor: Smokey Tomato Relish. Sauce it right and nobody checks the manifest.
