Description

Hill Fire is Pardon My Smoke's answer to the dull "honey BBQ rubs" on the market. Built on five distinct chile varieties, it layers deep chili earth with rising heat. It starts with rich ancho and guajillo, moves into wood-smoked chipotle, and finishes with a cayenne bite. Brown sugar locks in color, honey powder adds a subtle glaze, and Kosher salt drives the seasoning deep into the meat. It tastes like a South Texas cookout — smoky, complex, and hot all the way down.

10.4oz

 
Best For

Chicken thighs, pork, grilled steaks, fish tacos. Any cut where you want a real building burn with an authentic Mexico-Texas profile.
Flavor Profile

Ancho: A rich, raisin-like chili sweetness
Guajillo: A tart, fruity mid-range pepper
Chipotle: Roasted jalapeño powder that adds a deep wood-fired smokiness and a sharp finish.
Honey Powder & Brown Sugar: Paired for real caramelized bark.
Salt
How to Use

Hydrate the meat lightly with mustard or apple juice. Apply a generous coat and let it rest 60–90 minutes before hitting the smoke. Cook indirect between 225–250°F for maximum bark; the sugars will caramelize beautifully without burning. Great as a dry rub, under a mop sauce, or as a finishing dust on pulled pork right at the end.
