Hickman's BBQ Competition Rub Package combines Sweet Rub and Cowgirl Rub to help build balanced competition-style flavor with savory sweetness, rich color, smoky depth, and warm heat. Use the two BBQ rubs separately or in layers on smoked meats, grilled foods, vegetables, and barbecue sides.
Sweet Rub provides a mild, savory-sweet foundation, while Cowgirl Rub adds a warm, smoky accent. This two-rub package gives competition cooks, backyard pitmasters, and home cooks more control over the finished flavor than a single seasoning.

- Two distinct heat levels: Sweet Rub is mild, while Cowgirl Rub delivers warm, balanced heat.
- Competition-recognized blends: Both rubs have earned American Royal competition awards.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
