Heath Riles Hot BBQ Rub is built for cooks who want real heat, competition-level performance, and striking color on every cook. This is the same BBQ rub that helped secure the 2022 Memphis in May Rib Championship, delivering a proven blend of spices that balances heat, sweetness, and visual appeal.
Designed to perform across ribs, pork, beef, poultry, and even fish, this BBQ rub brings a clean kick that enhances natural meat flavor without overwhelming it. The paprika-rich profile builds beautiful color, while layered spices and brown sugar create depth that works just as well in the backyard as it does on the competition circuit.

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.
