Rub Yer Meat

09/07/2026

Pork belly was already doing just fine.

Then we cut it thick, covered it in Rub Yer Meat, smoked it until tender, stuck it on a skewer, and dunked the whole thing in Meat Mitch Stay Hot BBQ Sauce.

Back on the smoker until that glaze gets sticky.

Smoked Pork Belly Lollipops.

Pulled pork doesn’t have to be an all-day commitment.

Cooking a pork butt hot and fast at 325°F gives you plenty of time to build a solid bark, then finishing it covered helps power through the rest of the cook while keeping the pork tender and juicy.

This one went from seasoned to ready to pull in about 5½ hours.

That means you can start it in the morning, eat it that afternoon, and never have to explain to anyone why you set an alarm for 3:30 a.m.

Season generously with Rub Yer Meat, cook until the bark is set, pan it with apple juice and a little teriyaki sauce, then keep going until it’s probe tender.

Same-day pulled pork. That’s a pretty damn useful trick to have in your BBQ playbook.

The full recipe is available on our site.

Watermelon usually gets served ice cold straight from the fridge.

But put it over a hot grill for a few minutes and things get interesting.

You get a little char, concentrated sweetness, and a completely different way to serve one of summer’s best fruits.

Would you try grilled watermelon?

A good chicken thigh already has plenty going for it.

Add Rub Yer Meat BBQ Rub, a sticky chili glaze, and a little char from the grill and now we’re talking.

Poppers are one of my absolute favorite appetizers and these look just amazing!

You ever have something on your mind that you just can't shake? We'll, I've had jalapeno poppers on my mind for almost a week now. Maybe it's football season knocking on the door, or maybe it's that bottle of Rub Yer Meat seasoning sitting in the cabinet calling to me. Whatever it was, making these chorizo-cream cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped, seasoned jalapeno poppers is only going to make that voice in my head louder. Good thing Eagles season is right around the corner, so I'll have an excuse to make these more often!

Do yourself a favor and go to rubyermeat.com and pick up some of their rub so you're ready for football season! And use code BACKWOODER to save 10%

Rub yer wangs!

Thanks to the recommendation (and discount code) from Leaning Jowler Competition BBQ Team we enjoyed some amazing fried wings tonight! After frying our wings we added a nice coating of Rub Yer Meat seasoning before they cooled down. I definitely recommend trying it out if you haven’t already!

You’ve had pork belly burnt ends.

But have you ever put one on a stick?

These Pork Belly Lollipops get hit with Rub Yer Meat BBQ Rub, smoked low and slow until tender, dunked in Meat Mitch Stay Hot BBQ Sauce, then thrown back on the smoker until they’re sticky, smoky, and downright dangerous.

Pork belly needed a handle. We fixed that.

Full recipe on our site.

Would you grab one of these or stick with classic burnt ends?
