SPG stands for salt, pepper, and garlic. These are the three spices typically applied as a base layer before applying your favorite bbq rubs and seasonings. If you ask most die-hard pit masters what their secret is for brisket, pork shoulder, smoked chicken, and more - they're likely to tell you to keep it simple... Just salt, pepper, and garlic.

Our SPG + Butter is no ordinary rub. While many manufacturers pack their seasonings with the cheapest ingredients possible to increase their profit margins, we decided to take the opposite approach. The difference in flavor, aroma, and freshness is INSANE.Instead of the cheap, iodized table salt you’ll find in most rubs, we decided to use pure sea salt because of its sweeter, more brine-like flavor profile.After hundreds of hours of testing, we also found that Vietnamese peppercorns, while more pricey, are perfect for our seasonings due to their hints of lemon zest, black tea, wood, and smoke.Instead of run-of-the-mill garlic powder, we hand-selected a family farm out of California to supply us with granulated garlic that has an intense aroma and more robust flavor compared to the cheaper options.Lastly, Grillaholics butter nibs are made from real, 100% butter - none of that cheap popcorn seasoning that tastes nothing like the real thing. Our butter nibs provide the smooth, rich, buttery taste of real butter, and there’s nothing like it on the market today.We also manufacture & ship all of our ingredients from right here in the USA to decrease time in transit and maximize the freshness of the final product. We’re so confident you’ll notice the difference that we stand behind our seasonings with a 60-day empty bottle promise. Try it risk-free for 60 days. If you don’t absolutely love it, reach out to our US-based customer service team, and they’ll do whatever it takes to make it right.

Of course! However, there are a few drawbacks to doing so:

1) You aren't guaranteed to have the highest quality, hard-to-find ingredients.

2) You aren't guaranteed consistent results that you can count on every time.

3) Our Twisted SPG rubs use flavorings and ingredients that can be difficult to source, such as the butter flavoring used in our Twisted SPG + Butter.

The manufacturers we work with travel the world and work directly with only the best farmers and distributors to ensure they get only the best of the best herbs & spices. They purposely skip countries like China and Brazil because of modern-day slave practice. They regularly visit many of their farm partners and are in constant communication to ensure that they get nothing but the best from them.

All products are processed in the USA to ensure quality control and purity.
