THE FLAVOR AT A GLANCE
Private BBQ Seasoning — Butcher BBQ's Savory House Blend
Our house blend. Your next go-to seasoning. Butcher BBQ Private BBQ Seasoning brings garlic, onion, herbs, and a touch of smoke together in one balanced, savory rub. Thyme, cilantro, and the other herbs blend into the overall flavor instead of competing for attention. The result is a distinctive seasoning that works just as well on a weeknight chicken dinner as it does on a weekend barbecue.
Private is savory first—not a sweet rub or a hot rub. Its combination of herbs and spices makes it a versatile choice for pork, poultry, beef, wild game, and vegetables. Reach for it when you want a flavor that feels like a well-rounded house seasoning rather than a single-note spice blend.

How to Use
Pat the meat dry and sprinkle an even coat over the surface before cooking. Start with a lighter coating on smaller cuts or vegetables, then adjust to taste. For ribs, pork shoulder, or brisket, apply the seasoning before smoking and let your cooking method develop the exterior.
Pitmaster tip: Private contains sugar and molasses. Watch the surface during high-heat grilling and move food to indirect heat if it starts to darken too quickly.

Let Me Tell You More
Every pitmaster has a seasoning they keep close to the grill. Private is our take on that house blend: savory garlic and onion, herbs that blend together, and a subtle smoky finish. It has its own character without pushing the food into a strongly sweet, spicy, or single-herb direction.
Use it on smoked pork, grilled chicken, roasted turkey, brisket, or a pan of vegetables. When you want one versatile BBQ seasoning that brings a little something different to the table, Private is ready to go.

Ask the Pitmaster
What does Private BBQ Seasoning taste like?
Private is savory first. Garlic and onion lead, while thyme, cilantro, and other herbs blend into the overall flavor rather than standing out individually. A touch of smoke rounds out the finish.
Is Private BBQ Seasoning sweet or spicy?
Its overall taste is savory, not sweet or hot. The ingredient list includes sugar, molasses, black pepper, and red pepper, but the herbs and savory flavors work together as the main impression.
What makes Private different from Premium BBQ Rub?
Private has a distinctive savory house-blend character with herbs and a touch of smoke. Premium is another versatile savory rub, with garlic and celery notes and light brown sugar sweetness. Choose Private when you want the blended herb-and-savory profile.
What meats can I use Private BBQ Seasoning on?
Try it on pork ribs, pork shoulder, chicken, turkey, beef, and wild game. It also works on grilled or roasted vegetables.
Is Private BBQ Seasoning good on chicken and turkey?
Yes. The savory herb blend works well on poultry without making one herb dominate. Apply an even coat before roasting, grilling, or smoking, and cook poultry to a safe internal temperature.
Can I use Private BBQ Seasoning on brisket?
Yes. Season the brisket evenly before smoking. Private brings a savory herb-and-smoke character to the exterior; the bark you develop also depends on your cooking method.
Does Private BBQ Seasoning work on pork ribs and pulled pork?
Yes. Use it on its own for a savory barbecue profile or pair it with another rub if you want more sweetness or heat.
Can I use Private BBQ Seasoning on vegetables?
Yes. Toss potatoes, mushrooms, corn, or other vegetables with a little oil and season to taste before roasting or grilling.
Can I season meat with Private the night before?
Yes. Apply the rub, then keep the meat refrigerated until cooking. Adjust the amount if you are also using a salty injection or another seasoning.
Will Private BBQ Seasoning scorch on a hot grill?
It contains sugar and molasses, so the surface can darken or scorch over intense direct heat. Watch closely and move food to indirect heat if needed.
What sizes does Private BBQ Seasoning come in?
It is available in a shaker bottle for everyday cooking and a 2 lb bag for frequent grilling and larger cooks.
