The awesome folks at Hey Grill Hey have a fantastic collection of rubs and sauces that will keep your dishes delicious year-round, and their Hey Grill Hey 12 Pack—Rubs & Sauces is a great way to add delicious flavors to everything you make.
Hey Grill Hey was founded in 2015 by Susie Bulloch to help people make better BBQ. She has created over 550 recipes and many videos that help millions of people cook each month. Her awesome husband, Todd, is the man behind the camera and makes appearances as a taste tester.
I recently met Susie and Todd at a ThermoWorks event in Utah, and I found them to be super nice and down to earth. I have used dozens of their recipes and videos to help improve my cooks. They sent me the Hey Grill Hey 12 Pack—Rubs & Sauces to try, and I’ve put several to work making some fun dishes.
Hey Grill Hey products were developed by Susie and Todd to be the perfect companions for improving your BBQ and outdoor cooking. From pork to beef, there are products for everything that can be cooked with smoke and fire and work for everyone’s varying tastes.
Every rub and sauce is high-quality and labeled to indicate the meat it works best with; we found they delivered phenomenal results.

So, what can you make with the Hey Grill Hey 12 Pack—Rubs & Sauces? Here are just a few of the cooks I’ve done using them.
I started my Hey Grill Hey 12 Pack—Rubs & Sauces testing by going big with a large pork butt to make some pulled pork using the Hey Grill Hey Sweet BBQ Rub.
I did not add any other rubs or sauces and went solely with the Sweet BBQ rub, giving the meat a generous coating. The smoke went perfectly, and the pork butt literally fell apart when pulled.
The pulled pork was served with a choice of Hey Grill Hey Everything BBQ Sauce or Hey Grill Hey Apple Jalapeno BBQ Sauce for those who wanted a kick. Both sauces delivered a great meal.
Our friends raved about the final product, and there were no leftovers. I love pulled pork nachos and ate a plate with each sauce.
Now that the good meals were rolling, I made chicken thighs using the Hey Grill Hey Chicken BBQ Rub. Ten thighs were smoked with the rub, and three different sauces were added and cooked-in to finish them. The thighs with only the rub were fantastic and juicy, and the sauces added some great flavors.
All three sauces were a hit with my family. Hey Girl Hey Everything BBQ Sauce is just that; it works well on any meat and is my favorite.
The Hey Grill Hey Zesty Gold BBQ Sauce is a mustard-based sauce with a little zing. It pairs really well with smoked chicken and was my youngest’s favorite sauce.
The Hey Grill Hey Whiskey Peach BBQ Sauce has a robust flavor with the sweetness of peaches; it was also a family favorite. The sauces are all unique but taste amazing when paired with their intended meats.
I usually use a several-layer recipe when I smoke pork ribs, but I tried Hey Grill Hey’s Rib BBQ Rub by itself. The seasoning complemented the meat and gave it a beautiful color.
As you can see above, the cook went well and produced some pretty ribs. The Rib Rub is well balanced with sweet and savory and does well as the sole seasoning. One of my sons took a bite and told me it looked like I had a new recipe for my smoked ribs, and I still can’t believe I only used that one rub!
Hey Grill Hey is not only a great place to learn dishes and how to improve your BBQ, but Susie and Todd are extremely nice and down to earth. Their passion for bringing the best content and quality products is second to none; Hey Grill Hey is truly a work of love.
