BBQ Distro (Backyard BBQ Box)

What's in the box: Expect rubs, seasonings and sauces made by Texas pitmasters, such as Goldee's BBQ and ArnieTex, sold one at a time or in bundles.

BBQ Distro is a retailer in Grand Prairie, Texas. It doesn't make its own rubs and sauces. It sells ones bottled by Texas pitmasters. The idea is simple: the people behind well regarded Texas barbecue joints make their own seasonings, and BBQ Distro gathers them in one shop. Featured names include Goldee's BBQ, with its brisket rub and #1 sauce, and ArnieTex's Arnie's Asada line, which includes an all purpose rub and a Mexican rice seasoning. You can browse bundles, rubs and seasonings, sauces and glazes, and customer favorites. The site also has a pitmaster section, a BBQ School area and wholesale options. There is a small storefront on Main Street, which you enter through Mas Coffee Co. One thing to know before signing up: the site reads more like a curated store than a recurring box. It doesn't clearly explain a subscription plan, how often boxes ship, or how to skip or cancel, so check those details before you expect a monthly delivery. US orders over $50 ship free, and the company promises 100% satisfaction. If you want authentic Texas craft flavors without tracking down each pitmaster's own shop, this is a handy source. If you want a surprise box on a set schedule, look closely first.
