This blend is named after a ranch near Calgary that is very important to us. The summer evenings spent there playing horseshoes and barbequing steaks are beyond counting, and this barbeque rub truly captures the essence of those days. It is at once smoky, spicy and sweet, bringing to mind the hot days and long, cool evenings of the Alberta barbeque season.

This blend starts with the smoky heat of Spanish paprika and chipotle chiles, and rounds out the flavour with ingredients like pepper, garlic, thyme and allspice. It has some heat, but is not overwhelming. It is intended for one purpose and one purpose only: to be the perfect complement to a game of horseshoes, a case of cold beer and a plate of good Alberta beef.

Ingredients: sweet and smoked paprika, chiles, black pepper, sea salt, garlic, thyme, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace.
