{"product_id":"ole-smokey-bbq-rub","title":"Ole Smokey BBQ Dry Rub – Smoky \u0026 Sweet Seasoning","description":"\u003cp\u003eQ Sauce is a family-run barbecue business in Johnson City, Tennessee, whose brand story dates to 2017. Owner and recipe developer Hunter grew up around his family's barbecue restaurants, later competed in Southern barbecue competitions and continued refining his own sauces and rubs through backyard cooking and catering. His wife, Mimi, manages day-to-day operations. Their work centers on small-batch barbecue flavor, family involvement and recipes shaped by Mississippi, Tennessee and the Carolinas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOle Smokey BBQ Dry Rub – Smoky \u0026amp; Sweet Seasoning\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOle Smokey is a sweet, smoky dry rub intended for barbecue cooks who enjoy a pronounced seasoning layer. The maker positions it for ribs and for building a seasoned exterior during smoking, with a different flavor direction from the coarse brisket blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlavor and format\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmoky and sweet. Package: one seasoning bottle. Current net weight requires confirmation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing this flavor\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dry rub seasons the surface of food before or during cooking. It serves a different purpose from a finishing sauce: the rub establishes the seasoning direction, while sauce can be offered later according to taste. Start with an even, modest application and consider any salt already present in your recipe. You can adjust the amount on the next cook after tasting the finished meal. The result also depends on the cut of food, cooking equipment and your chosen method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIdeas for your next cook\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry it with ribs when you want sweetness and smoke to lead the meal. Keep your first trial to a single seasoning so you can decide whether you want a sauce afterward. If you later combine it with a sweet sauce, add the sauce gradually and taste the finished food before adding more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePreparation and serving\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet out clean tools and a clean serving plate before handling raw food. Portion seasoning or sauce into a separate container so the main package stays away from raw-meat juices and used utensils. Use a food thermometer and follow the safe cooking temperature for the specific food; the color of a rub, sauce or browned exterior cannot establish doneness. If you prepare food ahead, keep it refrigerated until cooking. Bring the finished meal to the table with clean utensils and keep serving portions separate from preparation portions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIngredients and allergen information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA full current ingredient and allergen panel for this exact package is still required. Flavor notes describe the taste direction and should not be used as a substitute for the ingredient list. Check the current package before use, especially when buying for a household with food allergies or sensitivities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStorage and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow the current package label for storage before and after opening, and keep the closure clean and secure. Product-specific storage temperatures, after-opening use periods and best-by information must come from the current supplier label. A general barbecue flavor description does not establish a shelf life. Keep the original packaging available so ingredient, lot and date information can be checked when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCountry of manufacture: United States, as declared in the supplier's product-specific wholesale listing. This identifies manufacture of the named food product. It does not establish that every ingredient was grown in the United States or that all packaging was produced domestically. Johnson City, Tennessee identifies the brand's business location; a separate factory-state claim is not made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping for this product\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping for Ole Smokey BBQ Dry Rub – Smoky \u0026amp; Sweet Seasoning has not been verified for BuyAmerican orders.
