Frequently Asked Questions
Is this rub spicy or sweet?
Lawry's Memphis Rub is a Savory-Sweet blend. While it contains chili peppers, the heat level is mild. It focuses on the deep, earthy sweetness of molasses and paprika, making it accessible to a wide range of Canadian palates.
Should I use oil or mustard before applying the rub?
For the most authentic Memphis result, we recommend a light "binder" of yellow mustard or a neutral oil. This helps the large 25 oz. shaker's contents adhere perfectly to the meat before it enters the smoker.
Does this rub contain flour or gluten?
Lawry's Memphis BBQ Rub is formulated without gluten-containing ingredients. However, always refer to the specific 2026 bottle label for the most up-to-date allergen information regarding shared manufacturing lines.
How many racks of ribs will one 25 oz. bottle cover?
Depending on your application style, one 25 oz. bottle will generously season approximately 25 to 30 racks of ribs. This makes the 6-case bundle an incredibly efficient choice for high-volume summer catering.
Why buy from ChickenPieces.com instead of a US retailer?
We are 100% Canadian-owned and based in Calgary. Shipping 150 oz. of spice from the US is expensive and often leads to brokerage delays. By ordering from our local Calgary stock, you get fast, tracked domestic shipping with zero hidden duties.
