Chuds BBQ

Chuds BBQ is the Texas brand of pitmaster Bradley Robinson. He moved to Austin in 2012, cooked at Freedman's and helped open Leroy & Lewis BBQ, then built his own offset from a 150-gallon propane tank. His YouTube channel took off when Austin restaurants shut during COVID, and Chuds now designs cookers, tools and rubs, working with Texas manufacturers.

We stock the Chuds rubs: Chud Rub, the all-purpose house blend, SPG (salt, pepper, garlic) for brisket and beef, Sweet Cheeks for pork and ribs, and Snake Bite when you want more kick. There's also the Nice & Plump Sausage Starter, and the Chud Box, Chuds' 3/16" carbon steel direct-heat charcoal cooker.

Start with SPG on a brisket and Sweet Cheeks on ribs. Find more Texas-style blends in beef rubs and pork rubs, gear up with sausage making kit, and cook our signature smoked pork ribs. Free shipping over $149 on the rubs; Chud Box freight is quoted.

Chuds BBQ: the Chud Box and Chuds rubs

Chuds BBQ makes cookers, tools and rubs for people who cook over fire. The Chud Box is Chuds' original direct-heat box cooker: a 3/16" carbon steel body with a reinforced bottom, stainless hinges, and nothing but charcoal underneath. Add wood chunks for smoke, or a cold smoke generator for sausages.

Alongside the cooker we carry the Chuds rubs: Chud Rub all-purpose, SPG, Snake Bite and Sweet Cheeks, plus the Nice & Plump sausage starter.
