It's my go-to for chicken. Great on pork and beef as well.

If you’re chasing that authentic Memphis feel—rubbed bark, confident pepper, a hint of sweet and savory—you’ll want to meet Pop Smoke Memphis Style Rub from Burn Pit BBQ. This blend is built for people who grill with purpose and taste with intention. No gimmicks, no fillers. Just clean, premium flavor crafted in Wisconsin by a veteran-owned company that takes consistency seriously.
Ingredients: Salt, Sugar, Spices, Granulated Onion, Granulated Garlic
Best On
Pork Ribs – The signature use for Memphis rubs. Creates that perfect mahogany bark with balanced sweet and savory flavor.
Pulled Pork / Pork Shoulder – Builds a deep crust and rich flavor that pairs perfectly with a light vinegar sauce or no sauce at all.
Chicken (thighs, drumsticks, or half chickens) – Gives grilled or smoked chicken a bold, smoky-sweet flavor without overpowering the meat.
Brisket or Beef Ribs – The pepper and paprika backbone of Pop Smoke gives beef cuts a classic Southern BBQ edge.
Smoked Turkey or Pork Chops – Ideal for layering smoky depth and color on leaner cuts.
How to Use
Apply seasoning generously, ensuring your meat is packed with flavor. Once applied, let meat sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors. Cook and enjoy!
Why You’ll Love It
- Veteran-owned brand with real dedication to quality and consistency.
- Crafted in Wisconsin—premium ingredients, no shortcuts.
- Balanced Memphis profile: bold, savory, just enough sweet to keep it interesting.
- Versatile across pork, chicken, beef—and built to hold up on high-heat grills or long smokes.
- No gimmicks. Just great BBQ.
Pairing & Flavor Ideas
- Pair With: Pulled pork sandwiches, baby back ribs, smoked half-chicken, brisket burnt ends, grilled pork chops.
- Side Dishes: Coleslaw (vinegar-based), smoked mac & cheese, grilled corn, baked beans with a hint of smoke.
- Beverage Match: A crisp lager, bourbon sour, or iced sweet tea.
- Pro Tip: For extra crust, apply a light coat of yellow mustard before the rub—it acts as a binder but adds little flavor so your rub stays center-stage.
FAQ
Q: Is this rub spicy?
A: No. It has bold flavor, with zero heat.
Q: Is it suitable for beef?
A: Absolutely. While Memphis is traditionally pork-oriented, this rub works great on brisket, flank steak, or even beef ribs.
Q: How long will it keep?
A: Stored in a cool, dry place, sealed, it will stay fresh for up to 12 months. Over time the flavor may gently fade but won’t spoil.
Q: Do I need sauce?
A: No. This rub is built to shine on its own. That said, you’re free to sauce if you like—just keep it light to let the rub flavor lead.
Q: Is it gluten-free / allergen free?
A: (Insert your actual info here) e.g., Yes—Pop Smoke contains no wheat, soy, or artificial colors. Always check the label for any allergen updates.

Great people and awesome products!
Been making party ribs and experimenting with different rubs. This Memphis rub is the absolute best thing I have ever tasted on ribs. I’ve never had so many compliments on how good they were and it was all this rub. I’d love to buy a 5 gallon bucket of it!
Got the Pop Smoke BbqRub yesterday at the Wisconsin State Fair. Made chicken breasts today with it....Omg! The best! Will be buying more and giving this to friends ❤️
Brisket with Pop Smoke Rub...turned out fantastic. All of the ribs and sauces from Birn Pit have been phenomenal.
Store owner replied: Thanks Joe! Glad you are liking it!
Bought pop smoke at a farmers market the first time. Absolutely love this rub. It’s great on pork, chicken, salmon or beef. I like the fact that this is also a veteran owned company. I’ll continue using this product. Thanks Brian
Love this on everything!!
Fantastic flavor and shipping was super fast!! Excited to try more flavors!
This is my favorite of all their spices. Use it in egg bakes h casseroles also. Highly recommend.
Love using the Burn Pit Barbecue seasoning when grilling chicken and ribs! I've used probably over 20 different seasonings for my grilling but I picked up the Pop Smoke seasoning at the grocery store just to check it out, especially being from a veteran owned company. This seasoning totally blew me and my family away. It's got a great taste and not too spicy, which is important to my wife.

It's good on ribs.
Tried a new rub, usually get the sweet version and this one was just as delicious on both chicken and ribs. The spices are so fresh and flavorful - just wonderful taste as well as a beautiful color.
Recently bought Pop Smoke Memphis style rub and used it on baby back ribs. It gave the ribs a great color and even better flavor. I highly recommend to anyone who loves trying different rubs like I do.
