BBQ Rubdown “All Purpose Base Coat – Step One”

Unlock professional-style flavor with the All Purpose Base Coat – Step One from BBQ Rubdown. This foundational seasoning is your first step toward crafting exceptional BBQ. Apply the base coat generously and allow it to penetrate deep into the meat, forming a natural “sweat” binder on the surface that locks in moisture and flavor.

After applying, wait at least 10 minutes, then follow up with one of BBQ Rubdown’s Step Two rubs for a layered flavor experience. This two-step method gives you control over salt and spice, preventing over-seasoning while enhancing depth.

Though designed for use with Step Two, the base coat can also stand alone as a full-flavor all-purpose seasoning for any meat or veggies. It features savory garlic, onion and black pepper notes balanced with salt and a touch of sugar.

Whether you’re prepping brisket, chicken, pork, or roasted vegetables, this base coat sets the stage for flavor. It’s gluten-free, made in the U.S.A., and packaged with a smudge-proof waterproof label that holds up in a messy grill environment.
