Q39 Rib Rub

Bring authentic Kansas City competition flavor to your smoker with Q39 Rib Rub, a slightly sweet, expertly balanced blend designed specifically for ribs and chicken.

Created by Chef Rob Magee and the championship-winning Munchin’ Hogs competition team, this rib seasoning reflects Q39’s chef-driven, competition-style approach to barbecue. It builds beautiful color, enhances natural meat flavor, and creates the kind of balanced sweetness judges — and backyard guests — expect from true Kansas City BBQ.

Apply before the cook to develop bark and depth, or use as a finishing dust for an added pop of sweet-savory flavor right before serving. Pair it with Q39 Classic BBQ Sauce for a complete, restaurant-level rib profile straight from Kansas City.

NO MSG. Gluten Free.
