Mellow Dusk – Hickory Honey BBQ seasoning delivers familiar barbecue comfort with carefully balanced depth. Brown sugar and granulated honey bring smooth, rounded sweetness that caramelizes beautifully over heat, while hickory powder adds authentic smoke that feels rich without bitterness.

Paprika and chili powder provide warmth and color, supported by garlic, onion, black pepper, and cayenne for subtle heat. Sea salt ties everything together, ensuring every bite is seasoned evenly from surface to center.

Mellow Dusk performs exceptionally well on ribs, pulled pork, chicken, burgers, and vegetables. It’s ideal for smoking, grilling, or oven roasting, and it works just as well as a base for sauces or dry rub applications. The sweetness enhances char and smoke, while the spice blend adds depth without overpowering the protein.

This is barbecue done right — approachable, dependable, and deeply satisfying. Mellow Dusk brings warmth and balance to every cook, delivering classic BBQ flavor with a refined finish.

*Note: All 20oz Bags are made when ordered. Please expect a few days delay in shipping.

The first taste is sweet and rich from brown sugar and honey, followed by smoky hickory and warming spices. Garlic, onion, black pepper, and cayenne create savory balance, making Mellow Dusk a smooth, layered rub that enhances any protein.

  • Ribs, pulled pork, and brisket
  • Chicken wings, thighs, and whole birds
  • Burgers, sausages, and grilled vegetables
  • Marinades, glazes, and finishing rubs

Small Batch, Zero Chill
