While attending University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - and a whole lotta pig pickins - we discovered a shared passion for true wood-smoked BBQ and the deep-seated culture and friendship those gatherings reinforce. Throughout the next decade and a half, while starting families and hosting our own barbecues, we realized it was now our turn to continue - and pass on - this heart-felt tradition. Always sure to have lots of fun, we've stayed "old school" by making rubs and sauces from scratch and cookin' "low and slow" with hardwoods (gas-free) for anywhere from 10-20 hours. With overwhelming support for our "old school" approach, we decided to see how we stacked up against the pros. Our two-man team - plus good friend 'Rick Rick' - packed the truck full of Hope Valley hickory wood and headed to our first cookoff, the 26th Annual Hillsborough Hog Day. Using our ol' #14 BBQ sauce-and-rub combination and our "old school" techniques, the Bull City BBQ team ended up taking home the trophy. What a day for the first timers! From that day forward, Bull City BBQ had legitimate "street credibility" in the old school circles - and we haven't looked back. We are very excited about putting Bull City BBQ on the map. We hope you'll buy - and enjoy - some of our unique rub and sauce recipes that we've created over the years. What a journey it's been so far...and what a journey we've "only just begun." Please join us for the ride.

• Wait until you see the list of ingredients on the label and what we call our "stack" of spices in the actual bottle.
• We use this at every pig pickin'. Even if it doesn't win you a trophy, it'll make anything you cook taste a whole lot better.
• Old school Sauces made in small batches for consistency.
• We make our Rubs and Sauces from scratch and cookin' "low and slow" with hardwoods (gas-free) for anywhere from 10-20 hours.
