    No matter what kind of barbecue you are making, chances are you are looking for the perfect barbecue seasoning that will make the flavors pop. This Magic Dust Rub is the ideal barbecue seasoning to whip up whenever you plan to eat some classic barbecue food.

    Never heard of Magic Dust before? It was invented by Mike Mills - an award-winning pitmaster from Illinois. Let me tell you, this rub works great for pulled pork, chicken, or any other meats that you plan on grilling, smoking, or even slow cooking this summer. It’s the perfect mix of sweet and spicy to create a delicious smoky flavor no matter how you use it.
