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!

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.

• 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.
