Cherry wood has earned a loyal following because of the beautiful color and subtle sweetness it delivers during smoking. Wild Cherry Rub takes inspiration from that classic barbecue profile and brings it directly into your seasoning lineup.
The natural cherry flavor delivers a bright fruit note that complements pork, poultry, and ham particularly well. Supporting herbs and spices provide balance, ensuring the seasoning remains rooted in barbecue rather than becoming overly sweet.
As the seasoning cooks, the sugars and cherry flavor develop into a rich exterior color while the savory elements continue building complexity underneath. The result is barbecue that looks impressive, tastes balanced, and offers something a little different from traditional sweet or savory rubs.

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.
