Man Meat BBQ Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about choosing and using Man Meat BBQ products.

Which Man Meat BBQ product should I try first?

Homestyle is the broadest everyday seasoning. Kansas City Style is the strongest first choice for ribs and pork, while Texas Style is best for beef.

What is the difference between Homestyle and Texas Style?

Homestyle is a salt, pepper and garlic-style blend. Texas Style is bolder, more pepper-forward and includes the brand's sweet-heat profile.

Which products are best for brisket?

Beef Primer paired with Texas Style Rub and optional Sweet Heat Sauce creates the most direct brisket system.

Which products are best for pork?

Pork Primer with Kansas City Style or Southern Style Rub, followed by Sweet & Smoky or Tangy Tennessee Sauce, creates a complete pork system.

Which products are best for chicken and turkey?

Poultry Primer with Homestyle, Kansas City Style or Southern Style Rub works well, with Sweet & Smoky, Sticky Sweet or Cherry Apple Habanero as finishing options.

Can the rubs be layered?

Yes. Homestyle works well as the savory base, followed by Texas Style, Kansas City Style or Southern Style depending on the meat.

What is the difference between a primer and a rub?

Primers add flavor and moisture beneath the surface through injection, brining or dry-brining, while rubs season the exterior.

Does Beef Primer contain sodium phosphates?

The current product description states that Beef Primer contains no sodium phosphates.

When should the sauces and glazes be applied?

Apply them near the end of the cook so they set without burning or softening the bark.

Can the glazes be blended with barbecue sauce?

Yes. Cherry Apple Habanero and Mango Habanero can be used alone or blended in small amounts with another sauce.
