I use the honey rub on a lot of my food. My wife and daughter love it. What a great seasoning
Competing in Alabama Elks Association yearly bbq competition. Usually 20+ teams. Since 2000 I have a 1st and 3rd using your products. Also use for fundraising by selling ribs.
I have used Heath’s Competition Rub, Sweet BBQ Rub, and the Honey Rub. They are all phenomenal the Honey is slightly more sweet than the Sweet BBQ which has a little more spice! I would highly recommend any of the rubs but those 3 are a no miss rub they are simple and awesome!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS HONEY RUB AND I KEEP IT STOCKED IN MY CABINET!!! I AM SOOO GLAD I FOUND OUT THAT 2LB BAGS ARE BEING SOLD!! I WILL BE ORDERING ALL THE TIME. THESE RUBS ARE DELICIOUS!!!!!
Worked great on my spatchcocked chicken, even though I left it broiling a bit too long. I also see this rub also working great on Pork ribs, which I think I’m going to try next time around.
I add the honey spice to my ribs for some sweetness. I also add the hot and competition bbq spices as well and some garlic jalepeno. Makes for a sweet bit with a kick of heat.
Heath Riles BBQ Rub is absolutely excellent. The flavor is bold, balanced, and downright delicious. It brings out the best in whatever you put it on — meat, veggies, you name it. The seasoning blends perfectly, adds amazing color, and the taste is just awesome. This has quickly become one of my go‑to rubs because it never disappoints and always delivers that perfect BBQ flavor.
Highly recommend to anyone who loves great-tasting BBQ.
Amazing flavor that is NOT like other rubs. Heath delivers and then some with flavors that compliment the food - not mask it. I've tried other rubs and sauces, but I'm a die hard fan now of these. You're seriously missing out if you don't give them a try. You won't be disappointed.
We love all the products I have bought from you! We really enjoy watching your videos, it has really helped us cook better products. Got my brother watching and using your glazes, rubs and spices as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and helping us produce better barbeque.

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.
Smoked a Boston butt last weekend, used Everyday rub, Pecan Rub, and Honey Rub just like Heath recommended. Turned out fantastic, wonderful flavor. Perhaps too good, since the family said, "you just need to lock that in, don't change a thing!" But I have so many other rubs to try! :)
