Pontiac Trail Pig Powder

**Pontiac Trail Pig Powder | Memphis-Style BBQ Rub**

### Memphis-Style BBQ Rub for Pork
Pontiac Trail Pig Powder is an award-winning Memphis-style BBQ rub inspired by the sweet and smoky flavors of southern barbecue. This handcrafted blend layers raw turbinado and demerara sugars with smoked paprika and sea salt to create a caramelized bark on slow-cooked meats. Fragrant herbs and spices like grains of paradise, rosemary, marjoram, and clove add depth and complexity, while mild chili powder and black pepper deliver a gentle kick that won’t overpower the meat.

### Best Ways to Use Pig Powder
For a competition-worthy Memphis rib or pulled pork, coat your meat lightly with mustard or oil, then sprinkle Pig Powder generously on all sides. Pat the rub into the surface to form an even crust and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before smoking or roasting. As the meat cooks low and slow, the sugars melt to form a sticky glaze and the spices penetrate deep into the meat. You can also use this rub on chicken thighs, pork chops, ham, and even turkey legs. For quick weekday meals, dust it onto baked potatoes, roasted vegetables, or mix it into burger patties for instant barbecue flavor.

### Great on Ribs, Pulled Pork, Pork Chops & Chicken
While Pig Powder was designed for Memphis-style pork ribs and pulled pork, home cooks love its versatility. It’s fantastic on pork shoulder, baby back ribs, St. Louis ribs, pork belly burnt ends, and smoked ham. Sprinkle on pork chops or tenderloin before grilling to build a sweet-and-savory crust. Rub it onto chicken wings, thighs, or a whole chicken for a delicious smoked chicken. Some customers even use Pig Powder on brisket, salmon, and roasted nuts for a unique twist.
