Barbecue Brisket Rub - Our custom blend of spices and seasonings for beef is now available to the public for the first time.  We believe to win a competition you must have a winning "recipe" to help in the process.  That is why we have invested a lot of time and energy in creating this fantastic award-winning brisket rub.  Great for barbecue brisket, beef ribs, steaks, and more. 

Our beef rub comes in 7oz., 16 oz., 32 oz., 80 oz., and 128 oz. sizes.  Click here to order today - Pit Bulls Beef Rub

Barbecue Chicken Rub - Our chicken rub has a bit of "sweet" and a bit of "bite", hence the name "Sweet Bite".  It is a wonderful compliment to barbecue or smoked chicken and poultry with just enough bite to make your tastebuds come alive delicately balanced with just the right spices to give it that hint of sweetness.  It's lip-smackin, finger-lickin' good!

Barbecue Pork & Rib Rub - If you are looking for an award-winning barbeque pork rub, then look no further.  This fantastic rib rub has won us countless rib placements in the KCBS competition circuit.  It is truly a one-of-a-kind rub and we are certain that once you try it, you'll be hooked.  A little secret, for that final flavor profile...sprinkle a little bit on when you sauce those mouth-watering ribs-you won't believe how they come alive with just that little extra sprinkle at the end!  A great compliment for any type of pork cut.

On November 20th, 2010, Pit Bulls "Up In Smoke" Professional BBQ Team and Planet Ink Tattoo of Kennesaw, GA are hosting a fundraising and pet adoption event for the Forgotten Paws Pet Rescue, Homeward Bound Pet Rescue, and Friends to the Forlorn Pit Bull Rescue Group.

We encourage everyone who can make it to come out and show your support for animals in need.  The proceeds will help spay, neuter, and vaccinate many dogs all looking for good "forever homes".  You will even have the opportunity to meet some of these wonderful dogs and maybe even adopt and bring one into your family. Through no choice of their own, these animals were put into circumstances beyond their control, whether lost, abandoned, turned over due to difficult economic times, or just not wanted, they have found themselves calling these amazing "No-Kill" animal shelters "home" while they anxiously await their "forever family" to find them! 
We all know that these shelters would not exist if it weren't for the generosity of others to help support and fund them, not to mention the selfless sacrifice of the "angels" who dedicate their lives to helping these animals.  This is our opportunity to give back and help support their efforts, so let us not be the only ones who show we care - Come out and support them - tickets will be raffled off for some fine tattoo work, we will be serving up some fantastic barbecue, and you'll have an opportunity to meet some great people (and animals!)  This effort is dear to our hearts and we hope you feel the same, so we look forward to seeing everyone on November 20th at Planet Ink Tattoo located at 2500 Cobb Pkwy, Ste A3,Kennesaw, GA (for those of you who are familiar with Kennesaw it is in the Olde Town Grill/Goodwill Shopping Center.)  Visit us on our facebook page at Pit Bulls "Up In Smoke" for more information on the event!  Oh, and we are also looking for sponsors...anyone interested please contact Danny Coogle for more information!
