Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em – Organic BBQ Rub for Ribs & Pulled Pork

When I moved to NC I had issues with the "Carolina style" BBQ. I was raised on GA and TN styles so that had a lot to do with my taste. When I found the Flavor Seed products I was skeptical to say the least but wanted to try this with an open mind. And I am so glad I did.
The Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em seasoning is amazing. I first tried it on some fresh cut Country Style ribs and was surprised at the depth of flavor with overpowering the food. Then I put some on some Buckboard Bacon I was going to smoke. Again I was very happy with the results. Very good flavor without the overpowering taste that so many have. WELL DONE FLAVORSEED.

I grill and smoke year round, and am always looking for new spice mixes and rubs to try. I recently tried a new one to me, Flavor Seed's Smoke 'Em If You Got "Em (SEIYGE).

I found SEIYGE to be a nicely balanced herb and spice mixture, very flavorful and aromatic, with just enough kick from the cayenne and ancho chile. This is a versatile enough rub, I think it would work well on just about any protein that used to walk. It might be overpowering for fish/seafood.

For my test runs, I tried it on two meats: chicken thighs, and a pork tenderloin. For the thighs, I gave them a liberal coat of the rub and grilled. SEIYGE lent a very nice flavor to the meat. My apologies for no pics of the resulting chicken. I was really hungry that night, and ate them as soon as they came off the grill; forgot to take pics in the process.

For the tenderloin, I gave it a nice coating of the rub, and let sit in the frig to dry marinate for about thirty minutes. The color already looked great at that point. Then I smoked with cherry wood at 225 degrees Fahrenheit (Masterbuilt electric smoker) until the probe temp hit 150 degrees. Took about 2 hours. This is a new favorite. The flavors from the rub complemented the smoked meat without overpowering. I will definitely add this to the rotation.

The only negative comment I have is minor. At this point in life I prefer my rubs with no salt, and no sugar, for health reasons. For some cooks, I will add them to the rub in small proportions. Also, I use rubs for both low temp smoking, and high temp grilling. When the meat is grilled and there is sugar in the rub, the sugar burns. I'm not a fan of that taste of burnt sugar. But again that is a minor complaint, this rub shines when used in the smoker. I would be willing to pay a little more for a salt and sugar free version though.

Overall, I'd give this rub a 4.8/5 rating. Can't wait to try it on other proteins and different ways. When I run out of this bag I will very likely buy it again. Thumbs up!

Tried out the Flavor Seed on a Tri Tip last weekend. Wow. The flavor was intense. Really elevated the meat during the three hour smoke.

I've used it on chicken and pork chops ,it was great ! Nice flavor and just enough spice.I would recommend it !

Got my “Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em” seasoning from Flavor Seed and decided to do “Party Ribs”. The seasoning had a great fresh and sweet aroma and is very fine in texture which is great cause it doesn’t clump up when trying to apply the rub to the meat. I used a very thin layer of avacodo oil as a binder. Not a big fan of using mustard, honey, syrup, or mayo (yes I said mayo) as a binder. I’ve ever only used mustard and I’ve heard of people the others but for me, oil or just water is my favorite binder. After applying the rub, I let the meat sweat for about 30 minutes and it gave them a great starting color and aborbed into the meat really well. For this cook, I used my Char-Griller Akorn Kamado style grill and I cooked 250-275 (my temps fluctuated a bit, still getting used to the grill) I cooked them on each side for an hour and pulled them off when they reached about 170-175 internal temperature. I loaded them into a pan with butter, brown sugar, raw honey, tossed them in a light coating Kinders Orinonal BBQ sauce. Covered them and put them in my oven at 300 for about 40ish minutes. I checked for probe tenderness and once they were there I threw them back onto the grill for about 10 more minutes to tack up the sauce. These turned out delicious with an amazing color!! The seasoning added a wonderful sweet flavor (there’s brown sugar in the rub) that pairs great with pork ribs. I didn’t notice anything overpowering in the rub, it’s very well balanced and each spice compliments the others. I would be careful when using this spice on the faster cooked pork cuts, examples being pork chops and smaller cuts like that, because I feel that the temps you use to cook those may burn the sugars in the rub. That being said, this goes great on slower cooked cuts like ribs, pork butts/ shoulders, hams, and loins. All in all this was great cook that was made even better with this wonderful and fresh rub!!

I did a smoked pulled pork butt with SEIYGE (Smoke Em If You Got Em) and the balance flavor profile was great for the tacos, enchiladas and the sandwiches I made out of this sample.
I seriously recommend trying this on any pork or chicken BBQ or Smoke recipe you won't be disappointed.

Won this with the gear testers, we enjoyed that it was very flavorful and had a nice little heat with it we will try some others, thanks for making a great product

I ordered This Product to try it and it arrived Quickly with a sample pack of their wild game rub. I have used both and enjoyed them so much, I am definitely going to try some of their other products. So far, I've used the 'Smoke em if you got em' on Pork Ribs, bone in Pork Chops, A shoulder roast and a whole chicken which I rotisserie cooked on my wood pellet grill. Everything has turned out fantastic and I will order more!

This rub has everything you need for chicken, turkey, and pork! It has all the basics, all the herbs, and just the right amount of chili hit on the backend. You will not be disappointed!

This was a great rub. I used a 5oz poly bag for almost 6 pounds of ribs. The salt started the meat sweating, allowing the flavors to meld into the meat. I used the 3-2-1 method, adding only brown sugar and butter as I wrapped them in foil at 3 hours. The ribs barked up nicely at about 2.5 hours in @190. After wrapping I went to 250 for the remainder to 197F. The bones pulled cleanly, and the meat was extremely tender. Some rubs impart a real perfume odor and taste into the meat. This rub did not. It allowed the true meat flavor to shine through. The ancho chili provided the perfect sneak attack on my tongue. I would not hesitate to use this rub again for any pork product

I loved the smokem 'Em if you got 'Em . I used it on a turkey that I smoked

I used this on 2 slabs of Baby Back Ribs and it was delicious!
I’ve got 12 slabs of St. Louis Ribs to smoke for the Sheriffs Department in August and gonna use it on them!

Had good balance to the seasoning would have liked more heat on back end of it personally but my grandkids devoured 2 racks without blinking

used it on a porklion loved the flavor

I tried Smoke 'Em' if You Got 'Em' on a pork tenderloin and some vegetables. It was delicious. It has a very nice smokey sweet flavor with a bit of heat to it. I didn't think it was too hot, but I am Cajun! Haha! This is a great all around rub that would be fantastic on just about any meat!!

I used smoke em if you got em on Bubba burgers first and then a couple racks of baby back ribs. The flavor is just amazing! Seriously, you have to try this seasoning if you haven’t already! My wife was not a rib person until I used this flavor pack. Now she loves them and keeps asking for more!

Everyone loved the flavor of this rub on the baby backs that I smoked on my Large Big Green Egg!! Other reviews had mentioned the sweet taste at first and a little heat on the back side. The overall flavor was on the sweet side, but it was not too sweet. Didn’t get a lot of heat. Just a hint of heat on the back side. Overall, we were very pleased with the overall taste of this rub. Will buy and use again for sure!!

Use this rub on just about everything. From pork to beef to even fish. Great stuff
