Chef-built collaboration Sloan Seasonings x Chef Aiden

Three blends. Three jobs.

Each blend was built for a specific kind of cook, so you can season with confidence before the fire ever starts.

No guesswork required

Season it like a pitmaster.

A simple baseline for better bark, deeper flavor, and a cook that starts before the smoker gets hot.

1

Coat every surface

Pat the meat dry, then apply an even layer from edge to edge. You should still be able to see the texture of the meat.

Starting point: about 1 tablespoon per pound. Use less on thinner cuts.

2

Season ahead

Give the blend time to settle in before the meat meets the heat. This helps the surface begin building flavor.

Ribs and chicken: 30–60 minutes. Brisket and pork shoulder: several hours or overnight.

3

Rest before cooking

Let the rub hydrate until the surface looks slightly damp and tacky. Then cook with your usual fire and temperature.

Do not add a heavy second coat unless the first layer has fully absorbed.

A collaboration built around the fire

Two points of view. One pit system.

The Pit Collection started with a friendship, a Louisiana cookoff, and a shared belief that great barbecue should feel approachable. Sloan brought the family flavor foundation. Chef Aiden brought competition-tested pit technique. Together, they built three blends for the cuts backyard cooks care about most.

Each bag supports the next generation of flavor, with a portion of purchases supporting youth entrepreneurship.
