I use heath riles apple rub to make my second favorite rib recipe the first being heath riles honey Pecan Rub combos.
This Rub plus apple smoke and a apple bbq sauce some of the best ribs you can eat!
Competition rub on the side of these chicken thighs and honey rub on the outside. Look at this color, juicy and taste so good. Ate cold leftovers out of the fridge next day. A breakfast sausage chub with honey rub delicious.
Smoke Turkey breast was the biggest hit! Base layer was the AP rub with the top layer of Apple rub.
My sauce consisted of 50-50 with the vinegar, barbecue sauce and the competition barbecue sauce. W/ W sauce fires hire,minced garlic, Kerrigold butter and some apple rub.
Loved all of your rubs. Our guests said it was the best they ever had and I would have to agree. Loved the glaze and can not wait to do it again. Great depth of flavor. Butter bath was a game changer, why have I not done that before?
10lb pork butt Green Mountain apple pellets on traeger
Injected with apple juice and
Apple rub night before
Set at 225 Sprayed with apple juice ever hour 6 hours to stall double rapped in foil
Then 275 to 205 degrees
Put in cooler for 1 hour (was running late)
Grabbed bone wiggled it a little came out clean everybody loved it
Leftovers went to stir fry on my blackstone
(It's the rib on the far right) The Apple has good green apple tart taste to it. The Butter Bath Wrap and then the Apple Habenero glaze finished it off.
This was the perfect rub for a slow-smoked turkey on my Traeger. I combined this rub with SPG, and the Competition BBQ blend, and smoked the bird over Apple pellets. I brined the turkey in an Apple Cider Vinegar mix. This was the juiciest and most flavorful turkey I have ever had. The blend of Heath’s seasonings came together with a sweet/smoky/tangy flavor. Everyone should have this in their arsenal.
Did a nice coating with this on a thick chop, followed by Honey Chipotle. Sweet up front, but not too sweet, with a savory finish. This may become the standard.
I absolutely love all the rubs ive purchased it is by far the best tasting best smelling of anything i have tried. I will only buy Heath Riles BBQ rubs and sauces as to me there are no other brand even close to the quality of these products. I only wish i could get more in Hawaii without having to wait for shipping.
Dear Heath Riles BBQ Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share a few exciting ideas for potential new flavor profiles that could add a unique twist to your already outstanding lineup of rubs, glazes, sauces, and butter baths.
These concepts focus on sweet, dessert-inspired, and tropical flavors, all intentionally non-spicy, offering something fresh and creative that fans and pitmasters would love to experiment with.
Proposed New Rubs (All Non-Spicy):
Peppermint Rub – Cool and refreshing, ideal for holiday cooks or a mint-chocolate fusion.
Pineapple Rub – Sweet and tropical, perfect for poultry, pork, and summer grilling.
Mango Rub – Bright, fruity, and naturally sweet with a hint of tang for ribs or seafood.
Strawberry Shortcake Rub – Dessert-inspired with a soft, creamy-sweet finish.
Strawberry Banana Rub – Smooth, fruity, and nostalgic with balanced strawberry and banana sweetness.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Rub – Sweet, bakery-style flavors with hints of chocolate, vanilla, and brown sugar.
Each rub could be paired with a matching glaze and complementary barbecue sauce to create a complete, cohesive flavor system.
Suggested New BBQ Sauces & Glazes:
Peppermint Chocolate BBQ Sauce / Glaze – A rich chocolate base with a refreshing peppermint finish.
Tropical Pineapple BBQ Sauce / Glaze – Sweet, lightly tangy, and bright.
Mango Sunset BBQ Sauce / Glaze – Layered mango flavor with a glossy, naturally sweet finish.
Strawberry Shortcake Cream BBQ Sauce / Glaze – Dessert-inspired and versatile for ribs or creative BBQ desserts.
Strawberry Banana BBQ Glaze – Smooth, fruity, and sweet with a creamy undertone.
Chocolate Chip Cookie BBQ Glaze – A warm, dessert-style glaze that caramelizes beautifully on ribs.
Sample Rib Concepts:
Peppermint Chocolate Ribs – A bold sweet-and-refreshing holiday-style rib.
Mango Ribs – Tropical sweetness balanced with smoky richness.
Strawberry Shortcake Ribs – Fun and crowd-pleasing for summer events.
Strawberry Banana Ribs – Sweet, smooth, and nostalgic with a dessert-style finish.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Ribs – A truly unique dessert-inspired rib with caramelized chocolate and cookie notes.
New Butter Bath Flavor Ideas (All Non-Spicy):
Mango Butter Bath
Chocolate Peppermint Butter Bath
Strawberry Shortcake Butter Bath
Strawberry Banana Butter Bath
Tropical Fruit Butter Bath
These butter baths could add an extra layer of richness and sweetness during the wrap phase, pairing perfectly with the matching rubs, glazes, and sauces.
I believe these flavors could open an exciting new category of sweet and creative products within your lineup. They would stand out in the market while inspiring backyard cooks and competition teams alike to explore new flavor experiences.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I truly believe your team could bring these ideas to life beautifully.

Great taste to compliment even mesquite smoke (my favorite). I tend to cook in like groups so Apple rub with Apple Habanero BBQ Glaze is a big winner over here in Japan. We all love it.
Tried on some ribs, didn't have the pop I expected, but, I'm not throwing down on just the first try! Maybe a heavier coating?
Can't wait to try with some of your apple pie beans!!!
