The Original. The Workhorse. The Goes-On-Everything Rub.
Our ultra-versatile Traeger Rub features the perfect blend of sweet, salty, and savoury to crank up the flavour of any meat. Zesty garlic teams up with herby basil and oregano notes and the subtle smokiness of paprika and chili pepper to complement everything from lean chicken breasts to bold beef brisket. It's the rub that earns permanent placement on your spice shelf — and disappears faster than any of the others, because you reach for it every time.
