Hot Summer Blend

The Competition EDGE: When Only Maximum Flavor and Heat Will Do

Introducing West Coast BBQ Company's Hot Summer Blend: it's the peak of fiery, bold flavor for anyone serious about BBQ. This isn't just some spice shaker; it's a high-performance Competition BBQ Rub. We've engineered it for pitmasters and grillers who demand championship results and an explosive flavor profile. Crafted with serious care, our blend's a sizzling symphony of handpicked ingredients. It delivers the intense, long-lasting heat you've been craving.

Most competition rubs focus on low heat, but the Hot Summer Blend breaks that mold completely. It delivers that perfect sweet-savory balance you need to build that coveted mahogany bark, but check this out: it finishes with a Heat Index of 5/5. That's a sizzling, long-lasting intensity that just dominates the whole flavor category.

The Pitmaster’s Advantage: Why Hot Summer Blend Wins

Our rub's designed for the serious cook who knows that flavor should be built in layers. We've meticulously balanced this blend to make sure no single note-sweetness, salt, or heat-takes over the final product. They're only working together to absolutely maximize that flavor yield.

Deep Dive: The Fiery Flavor Composition

We built the Hot Summer Blend on a powerful foundation of premium ingredients. We meticulously ground and mixed them to get the right particle size for perfect bark formation and deep flavor penetration.

• The Sweet Start (Sugar): We use high-quality sourced sugar. It starts the caramelization process early in the cook, which builds the base for a deep, rich, red-to-mahogany bark. You need this sweetness; it's crucial for balancing that intense heat.

• The Savory Core (Paprika, Salt, Garlic): Robust paprika gives it color and earthy depth. Plus, potent salt and garlic powder anchor the flavor profile completely, giving you that classic, mouth-watering BBQ taste competitions demand.

• The Explosive Finish (Chili Peppers): You want hot? A symphony of hand-picked chili peppers delivers the ‘Hot’ in Hot Summer Blend. It's a searing, dynamic heat that hits the back of your palate and stays there. It proves you aren't messing around.

Ingredients include: Finest Sourced Sugar, Salt, Chili Peppers, Paprika and an exquisite blend of Spices.

Application Guide: Achieving Championship Bark

For best results with this Competition BBQ Rub, follow these professional application techniques:

1. Prep: You've gotta pat your meat (ribs, brisket, butt) completely dry with paper towels. This ensures you get maximum rub adhesion.

2. Rub Application (Heavy Coat): Put the Hot Summer Blend on generously and evenly across all surfaces. Use a damp hand to gently rub the seasoning into the meat. This guarantees a thick, uniform coating that'll develop into that signature bark. If you're doing competition-style ribs, apply two light coats and let five minutes pass between them.

3. Rest & Penetration: This is crucial. Let the seasoned meat rest in the fridge for at least 4 hours- overnight is ideal. This rest lets the salt pull moisture out, dissolve the spices, and draw the flavor way deep into the muscle fibers.

4. Cook: Smoke or grill at low temps (225°F-275°F) for extended periods. It's designed for slow cooking, so that high sugar content minimizes the risk of scorching while maximizing caramelization.

Beyond The Meat: Versatility on Sides

Unleash a torrent of savory heat onto your favorite meats, from succulent pork to hearty beef, and tender poultry. Plus, you can instantly elevate your grilling game by generously applying our Hot Summer Blend to veggies. It'll transform ordinary sides (like corn, roasted potatoes, or grilled zucchini) into incredible dishes bursting with zest and spice.
