About Smokey Rebel
Written by the company
🔥 About Smokey Rebel
Smokey Rebel is a UK-based flavour company shaking up the world of BBQ rubs and seasonings. We craft bold, small-batch blends that bring unforgettable flavour to everything from grilled meats and roasted veg to tacos, wings, and even air fryer midweek meals.
Founded by Russ, a passionate pitmaster and flavour explorer, Smokey Rebel was born out of a love for fire-cooked food, global recipes, and feeding friends and family something worth remembering. Our rubs are inspired by authentic tastes from around the world — think smoky Argentinian roasts, zesty citrus island blends, spicy Mexican favourites, and rich Mediterranean herbs.
Every can we make is packed with honest ingredients, no fillers, no artificial rubbish — just real flavour that actually delivers. From our bestselling SPG base blend and Hickory Hog pork rub to cult favourites like Greek Odyssey and Cherry Force, our seasonings are designed to work in your oven, smoker, grill, or kitchen pan. They’re versatile, powerful, and seriously addictive.
We offer beautifully presented BBQ gift sets and themed bundles that make perfect presents for food lovers, BBQ fans, or anyone who’s bored of bland. Every order is hand-packed with care, and includes extras like sweets, stickers, and thank-you notes — because great flavour should come with a little fun too.
Our fans use Smokey Rebel rubs for everything from meal prep to Sunday roasts, pulled pork tacos, BBQ wings, veggie skewers, and more. Whether you're a beginner cook or a full-on flavour junkie, we’ve got the spice to fire up your kitchen.
Quick UK shipping, friendly support, and flavours that spark conversation. That’s what makes Smokey Rebel stand out from the crowd — and we read every Trustpilot review to keep improving. So if you’ve cooked something epic or need help picking your next blend, we’re all ears.

Cheers for this brilliant review Robert! Spitfire on drumsticks sounds spot on, and teaming it with Wingman is a solid choice. Love hearing they’re your go-tos for chicken 🙌

Well packaged and sweets was a nice touch, having tried other rubs we wanted a more authentic taste so having read the reviews decided to give smokey rebel a try, we wasn't disappointed the rubs were really tasty, SPG was lovely with chunky salt granules, alot better than other brands. Will definitely be ordering more.

Second time of ordering various seasonings which I have found all to be great. Seasonings are good value for money in my opinion and as they suggest they can be used on literally anything. Web site is easy to use and order processing and delivery is fast.

Thanks Emma! Those little cans punch well above their weight, right? 😄 So happy you loved the design and the taste – appreciate the support! 🧂🔥
So happy I found them!
I found this company at a festival and the hats they sell caught my husband’s eye. When I got home I found them online and messaged them. They sent me a link straight away to buy the hat. Excellent communication and super fast delivery.
Beautifully wrapped and even gave me little sweets in the box along with stickers. 🥰

Reply from Smokey Rebel
This absolutely made our day Rachel – thank you! So happy the hat was a hit and the whole experience felt personal and fun. We’re all about those small touches (and yes… sweets and stickers are non-negotiable 😉). Hope your husband loves it!
Fantastic company and customer service
Fantastic company and customer service. The attention to detail on the packaging and how it came was insane, I bought this for Father’s Day and they replied straight away to my email and made sure I got it in time! 100% recommended for a gift.

Ordered as a gift
Ordered as a gift, package arrived damaged. Emailed company, no response. Left a poor review, they contacted me within a couple of hours. Original email had got lost. Rectified issue very promptly, customer service was brilliant.

Thanks so much for the honest update – and again, really sorry for the hiccup. We hate when things don’t arrive perfectly due to our couriers, but we’re so glad we could fix it fast and turn it around. We appreciate the second chance and your patience more than you know! 🙌🔥

Great family company
Great family company, competitive prices for the smoker pellets, bought a Yoda 650 from Smokey Rebel a few years back, great smoker very easy to use. Helpful information, when we contacted Russ the Pit Master and creator of this business.
You can’t beat dealing with family run business, they care !
The rubs they make are amazing! We Use all of them ! But right now my guilty pleasure is the latest Cherry rub ! I’m truly obsessed with the flavour !!
Have bought for family members too !
They have Yoda smokers too from Smokey Rebel and grills.
The rubs are versatile! Can be used in the oven as well.
We don’t use any other company, why would we ? They are the best UK business with American connections!
You can’t go wrong when Americans are using these pure products !!

Huge thanks for the incredible feedback Tracy! It means everything to hear you’ve stuck with us, from your Yoder smoker, to becoming a full-on Cherry Force convert! We’re proud to be a family business rooted in BBQ culture—and honoured to have customers like you. 😊🍖🔥
