Creator / Owner at Swimmin' in Smoke BBQ Rubs & Seasonings - Queen Creek, Arizona, United States
Swimmin' in Smoke® BBQ Rubs & Seasonings was created in 2010 because I love to cook, grill and BBQ! A long time ago I created an all-purpose rub for my grill. I didn't like carrying all the spices out to the grill with me. I was even made fun of for shaking on so many different spices on my food. That inspired me to create an all-purpose rub. A rub that had everything you need in it in ONE shaker. I now call it Chik Bait®! It is perfect on chicken. Then I started competing in professional competition barbeque. I went to several BBQ supply stores and spent a lot of money on different rubs and seasonings. I realized that I couldn't find any rubs that I really liked. After competing for almost 2 years and coming in at the bottom of the pack. I told everyone about my own rub that I created many years ago. They all told me, don't reinvent the wheel. I didn't listen!I perfected my rub for chicken and also came up with a rub for the other 3 meats in competition BBQ. I now have my own rub for all 4 meats, Chicken – Chik Bait®, Pork Ribs – Radical Rib®, Pork Butt/Shoulder – Booty Shake™ & Beef Brisket – Boo Yah Beef™. I use my own rubs in the competitions and have received numerous awards for my BBQ, including 2013 Arizona Triple Crown Overall Team of the Year! I now have a line of 12 rubs!
