We call it “G2 BBQ” because even though his original blend was winning BBQ competitions all over the country, Big D wasn’t going to rest easy. Competitive BBQ was more getting more popular than ever, and Danny knew he needed to up his game to the ‘next generation’ of seasoning. This second BBQ seasoning blend developed by Big D let him take his award-winning BBQ to international competitions. He kept on winning too!

G2 BBQ can be combined with Hurricane Rib Rub for world champion flavor on ribs, pulled pork, and chicken.
