Heath Riles Beef Rub is a bold, smoky BBQ rub built to bring out the very best in steaks, brisket, burgers, beef ribs, and more. Crafted with a balanced blend of salt, black pepper, garlic, chili powder, and smoky paprika, this seasoning delivers deep, savory flavor without overpowering the meat—exactly what serious beef cooks demand.
While designed with beef in mind, this versatile BBQ rub shines well beyond the smoker. It performs beautifully on pork, poultry, wings, seafood, vegetables, and mushrooms, making it a reliable all-purpose seasoning for everyday cooking and competition-style results.
Why You’ll Love It- Beef-first versatility: Outstanding on steaks, burgers, brisket, beef ribs, tri-tip, and prime rib.
- Works across proteins: Delicious on chicken wings, pork chops, ribs, seafood, vegetables, and mushrooms.
- Competition-proven: Developed by pitmaster Heath Riles for flavor that performs on the circuit and at home.
- Mild, balanced warmth: Chili powder and paprika add depth without excessive heat.
- All cooking methods: Ideal for grilling, smoking, roasting, oven cooking, or griddle use.

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.
