NEVER RUN OUT OF AMMO

Gunpowder delivers an explosively bold flavor profile centered around coarse sea salt, black pepper, savory garlic, and sweet onion, all balanced by a hint of paprika and sugar for rich caramelization. Our veteran-owned, Texas-made seasoning blend features activated charcoal – a dramatic twist that paints meats a deep, charcoal-black color while infusing a subtle, smoky umami. This all-purpose grill rub is carefully crafted to make beef, pork, chicken, or even grilled veggies pop with flavor.

Use Gunpowder as an all-purpose grill rub on everything from brisket, steak, and ribs to chicken wings and vegetables. Rub it on before smoking or grilling, or sprinkle it on sides like corn on the cob or roasted potatoes for an extra kick. Its unique dark color and smoky aroma are guaranteed conversation starters at any BBQ. In short, Gunpowder is a no-nonsense, all-natural, veteran-owned grilling seasoning that adds bold taste and a striking black crust to every dish.

I just wanted you to know that I used both.

I just wanted you to know that I used both- the gunpowder steak& brisket seasoning and the all purpose one on a 19lb. brisket. Slow cooked it for about 26 hours and between 15 to 18 people there was nothing left. They all wanted to know what kind of seasoning I used. Probably just increased your sales. They all said it was the best brisket they ever had. Thankyou for that, will keep buying from you all.

26 hours on a 19lb brisket with Gunpowder and the all-purpose blend feeding 15-18 people — that's a mission well executed, Rick. Thanks for the photos and for putting our name in front of that crowd.

Gun Powder

This is some of the best seasoning I have ever put on a steak or Tri Tip roast.
Thanks
Matt

Thanks, Matt! We’re glad Gunpowder hit the mark for your steak and Tri Tip! Sounds like you’ve got grilling down to a science—keep up the great work!

A necessity!!

It is my secret ingredient (not so secret now) for my restaurant's great Prime Rib!

Glad to be your 'secret' weapon for prime rib greatness! Keep rocking that flavor! 🔥

Brisket, tri-tip, & even homecured bacon!

This is my favorite go-to rub to get that flavorful & great looking bark. It's a bit finer than most that I've used so it even penetrates the meat deeper. It's not as bold of a flavor as others so you don't need to worry about overseasoning as much. Absolutely my favorite yet & you'll be happy with the results!

Thank you for sharing! We’re stoked to hear that Gunpowder Steak & Brisket Seasoning has become your go-to for brisket, tri-tip, and even home-cured bacon! Glad the finer texture is hitting the spot for that perfect bark without overpowering the flavor. We appreciate the love and can’t wait to see what you cook up next! 🔥

Great Brisket Bark!

I did a small brisket on my smoker using Gunpowder and a little fresh ground salt and pepper. Wow! My coworker who also smokes was jealous of the bark in the picture I sent. Unfortunately there weren’t any leftovers to share with him.

Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear that Gunpowder helped you achieve such impressive brisket bark. It sounds like your small brisket turned out perfectly on the smoker, especially with the addition of fresh ground salt and pepper. We're glad it was so delicious that there weren't any leftovers to share with your coworker—he'll just have to try it for himself next time!

Best brisket I ever made

This rub has the best blend of everything, plus activated charcoal to give you that smokey charcoal grill flavor that pairs perfectly with your pellet or wood fire smoker. I made this for a family gathering and it disappeared just as fast as I could slice it!

We're thrilled to hear that our Gunpowder Steak and Brisket Seasoning helped you create the best brisket ever! 🔥 It sounds like your family gathering was a flavor-packed success! Thanks for choosing us to be a part of it. Here's to many more delicious meals ahead! ‍

Best Rub EVER!!!!!!

Our friends and family went berserk over our 14 lb brisket! My husband followed your directions on line and it smoked for 21.5 hours ..... perfectection!!!!! Best brisket EVER!!!!! People are still raving about it LOL. I've commissioned him to make one for our work family over Labor Day Werkend. Will be gifting jars of the rub for Christmas 🎄

Laurie, a 21.5-hour brisket with the family and work crew still raving about it is exactly the reaction Gunpowder is built to get. Sounds like you'll have a lot of happy people unwrapping jars of it this Christmas.
