Boost Your BBQ

What's in the box: The site does not list box contents, but given the store's focus, expect a mix of competition style BBQ rubs, sauces and related products.

Boost Your BBQ is mainly an online BBQ supply shop for competition cooks and serious backyard pitmasters, and its subscription box is one part of a much larger store. The shop sells rubs, sauces, injections, marinades, mustards, hot sauces and spreads from dozens of brands. These include well known names like Killer Hogs, Heath Riles BBQ, Blues Hog, Meat Mitch and Myron Mixon BBQ, along with its own label. It also sells thermometers, knives, injectors, gloves, drum smokers and pellet grills. That range is the best reason to try the box. A curator with this many competition style products to choose from should be able to introduce you to rubs and sauces you won't find at a grocery store. The company pitches the box as a gift idea, and it suits that use. The weak spot is how little the site explains about the box. It does not clearly state the contents, price, delivery schedule or cancellation terms, so check the subscription page or contact the company before you sign up. The store does offer flat rate shipping on orders. If you already know which brands you like, buying straight from the shop gives you more control. If you like discovering new seasonings and sauces, the box is worth a closer look.
