You probably wouldn’t think to pair these two rubs together... but once you try them on pork, there’s no going back. 👋🔥

Start with Slap’s Perfect Blend to build a savory, well-rounded base. Then layer on Simply Marvelous Spicy Apple for the perfect touch of sweetness, heat, and apple flavor.

Greg uses this combination on just about anything pork:
🍖 Ribs
🔥 Pork butts
🥩 Pork chops
🍎 Pork loin

The result is a sweet, savory, and slightly spicy flavor profile that works especially well with low-and-slow barbecue.

🌞 Why is your BBQ rub turning white?

UV light is the culprit. It doesn't just fade the color — it actually breaks down the spices themselves, so that vibrant orange from turmeric and paprika fades right out in a sunny window. Heat and moisture make it worse, causing sugars and salts to clump.

The fix:
🌡️ Cool, dry place
🚫 Out of direct sunlight
🗄️ A pantry or cabinet — low light, steady temp

Do that and your rubs hold their color, potency, and flavor way longer.

🔥 How full does your pellet hopper really need to be?

The answer is simple: Full enough to finish your cook. Many pellet grills burn about 1 to 1½ pounds of pellets per hour when cooking below 250°F, so a full 20-pound hopper can last through most long cooks.

🎥 Watch the reel to learn why a bigger hopper isn't always necessary, plus a few simple pellet grill tips that can help you cook with confidence.

🔥 Should you preheat your grill with the lid open or closed?

The answer depends on your grill, so it's always best to check your owner's manual. For many gas and pellet grills, starting with the lid open lets you confirm the grill has ignited properly before closing the lid to preheat. It's a simple step that can help you grill more safely and with confidence.

🎥 Watch the video to learn why this matters and pick up more grilling tips.
