Pecan Grilling Sauces and Rubs: Infuse Southern Charm into Your BBQ

No cookout is complete without bold, smoky flavors sizzling off the grill. Ellis Bros. Pecans offers a premium lineup of pecan grilling sauces and rubs designed to deliver authentic Southern taste with every brushstroke and sprinkle.

• Signature BBQ Sauce: Crafted with a deep, tangy-sweet base and rich molasses notes, this classic Southern-style BBQ sauce is a must-have for ribs, burgers, chicken, or pulled pork. It's thick enough to cling to your meat while delivering a bold, finger-licking finish. Try it as a marinade for your ribs or as a dipping sauce for your chicken wings.
• Southern Pecan Rub: Crafted with finely ground pecan meal and a carefully balanced blend of spices, this rub infuses grilled meats, fish, or roasted vegetables with a subtle nuttiness and rich flavor. It’s perfect for low-and-slow smoking or high-heat searing.
• Sweet Southern Pecan Rub: If you prefer your BBQ with a hint of sweetness, this blend combines the earthy essence of pecans with brown sugar and classic Southern spices. It caramelizes beautifully on the grill and enhances everything from pork chops to chicken wings.
• Treasure Sauce: A hidden gem in the Ellis Bros. lineup, Treasure sauce is a unique, all-purpose grilling and dipping sauce that lives up to its name. This golden, slightly-sweet, mild habanero blend pairs beautifully with just about anything—grilled shrimp, chicken kabobs, pork tenderloin, burgers or even as a salad drizzle. With hints of mustard, brown sugar, and spices, it brings bold character to every dish. It’s especially great as a finishing glaze during the last few minutes on the grill, forming a glossy, flavorful crust. For dads who love experimenting with flavor, Treasure Sauce is an absolute must-try.

Whether you’re grilling for two or twenty, these flavorful essentials are guaranteed to impress your guests and satisfy Dad’s taste for Southern tradition.
