What makes Memphis BBQ special?

This is the rub most people start with and then stick with. Paprika and brown sugar form the base, rounded off with a touch of black pepper. On the grill, the sugar caramelizes beautifully: the result is deep, sweet-smoky, and exactly what you expect from classic American BBQ. If you had to choose one rub to satisfy everyone, this is it.

Dosage

• Spareribs: rub generously, rest for at least 2 hours — preferably overnight
• Pulled pork: 65g per 1.5 kg of meat, rest for at least 1 hour
• Chicken thighs: 60g per 1.5 kg of meat

How to use Memphis BBQ?

Pat the meat dry, rub generously with the rub, and let it rest in the refrigerator. Grill low & slow over indirect heat spareribs at 110–120°C for 4–6 hours, pulled pork until an internal temperature of 90–95°C. The brown sugar caramelizes into a dark, crispy bark that you can't buy anywhere.
