Let customers speak for us
Hi
Tennessee Red is a good finishing sauce and we use it as the base ingredient for a serving sauce that we make ourselves.
I really enjoyed the flavor. I was expecting it to be very spicy but for me, it had a subtle kick along with great flavor from the spice mix.
Very good product. Takes my beef dino ribs to another level!
BPS Mesh Trucker Flexfit Hat (Charcoal/Black)
I love the seasoning but it's getting hot. Kind of high they used to be $10 a bottle.
These 3 rubs are some of our favorite BPS rubs. So versatile, we use these on almost everything.
Because this seasoning is Poppas Top Secret seasoning. As I have virtually all of these seasonings, I found this little jewel late in the game. Bought 2!
Enjoying this seasoning
Buying since it came out need discount Lol
yum.
Packaging was great and timely delivery. Thank for the stickers
Great pork injection for ribs and pork
Smokin' Guns BBQ Hot Rub - 2lbs
