Big Poppa Smokers was founded by Sterling “Big Poppa” Ball and is based in Coachella, California. The company marks its founding as 2010 on its packaging and anniversary materials. It grew from Ball’s interest in backyard cooking and spending time with his sons. Its approach centers on sharing food, helping home cooks build confidence and bringing competition barbecue experience to everyday meals.
Competition Brisket & Steak is a beef-oriented dry rub built around sea salt, garlic, onion and spices. Smoked sea salt and roast beef flavor give the 13.4 oz blend a different character from a sweet rib rub. It suits cooks looking for a savory seasoning layer on brisket, steak and other cuts where beef is the main flavor.
The formula combines a pepper-forward profile with beef stock, yeast extract and a small sweet component. Use it as the exterior seasoning for a smoked brisket or as a grilling rub for steak. It can fit a smoker, grill or skillet recipe, with the final amount determined by the size of the cut and any salt already used in the preparation.
