Real Maple Sugar. Smoked Paprika. Peak Canadian BBQ.
Rave BBQ Sweet n Smokey Maple Rub is made with real maple sugar, smoked paprika, and a blend of savoury spices that screams Canada. It's perfect for adding sweet and smoky flavour to ribs, chicken, pork chops, and anything else you throw on the grill. Because you don't get much more Canadian than hog-meat marinated in maple sugar, cinnamon, and a kickass blend of spices.
What makes it special:
Real maple sugar is the star here — not maple "flavouring" or maple "extract," but actual maple sugar. Combined with smoked paprika and warming spices, it creates a sweet-smoky profile that caramelizes beautifully on the grill and gives pork an almost candy-like bark that's absolutely addictive.
Great on:
-
Pork ribs: The maple-smoke combo was born for ribs
-
Bacon: Maple + bacon = the most Canadian thing you can do
-
Pork chops and tenderloin: Sweet and smoky with a gorgeous crust
-
Chicken: Thighs and drumsticks get a beautiful caramelized skin
-
Meatballs: Mix into the meat for a sweet-smoky twist
-
Beef: Works on brisket and burgers when you want a sweeter profile
How to use it:
- Rub generously onto your meat before grilling or smoking
- The maple sugar caramelizes during cooking — watch your heat to avoid burning
- Works with smoking, grilling, roasting, and air frying
- Use indirect heat for best results — the sugars need time to caramelize, not char
Size: 143g shaker
Pro tips:
- Indirect heat is key with any maple/sugar rub — direct flame will burn the sugars
- Try it on smoked pork belly burnt ends — the maple caramelization is next level
- Rave BBQ is a Canadian brand, and this rub is about as Canadian as it gets
- Pairs perfectly with apple or cherry wood pellets for a fruity-maple smoke profile
