The perfect sugar-based rub for slow-cooked, unbeatable flavor. This rub is all you will need for your slow-cooked ribs and pulled pork at your next barbeque. Aptly named for Carolina's clay-coloured soil, Carolina Dirt is Lillie's Q sugar based rub.

No. 16

CAROLINA DIRT

Why No. 16? We're proud to have two Memphis in May championships under our belt, and each one has their own story. In 2016, our Carolina Dirt rub was it. Our winning pork shoulder received all the TLC our team had to give, but perhaps none more important than the healthy coat of Carolina Dirt a full 24 hours before a judge's fork was lifted. In the realm of barbeque tips, patience may be a virtue, but this stuff is practically magic.
