Welcome to BaumBQ, small-batch BBQ rubs built in Lakewood, Ohio with bold spices, homemade brown sugar, and a signature coffee kick from Ready, Set! Coffee Roasters.

No bland birdies here. Just rubs that make wings, ribs, burgers, veggies, and late-night “what if I put this on popcorn?” decisions taste better.

Which rub should I buy?

Cowboy Joe

The all-purpose troublemaker.

Start here if you want the classic BaumBQ experience. Cowboy Joe brings ancho chili, homemade brown sugar, coffee, and a savory backbone that works on just about everything.

Best on: wings, burgers, ribs, chicken thighs, fries, popcorn, collard greens

Buy this if: you want one bottle that can handle almost anything.

Sweet Honey Joe

Sweet, smoky, and dangerously snackable.

This one has the family-friendly sweet heat thing going on without being boring. Honey, ancho chili, coffee, and spice make it great when you want big flavor without scaring anyone off.

Best on: salmon, roasted carrots, popcorn, double-smoked ham, chicken, pork

Buy this if: you like your BBQ with a sweet side and a little swagger.

Smokin' Joe

Think Tajín got into coffee and made questionable choices.

Smokin' Joe is the spicier cousin. Chipotle, homemade brown sugar, and coffee give it a smoky kick that builds without turning dinner into a dare.

Best on: watermelon, pineapple, wings, spicy margarita rims, pork, chicken

Buy this if: you want smoke, spice, and something that makes people say, "Wait, what is that?"

Tuxedo Joe

The classy one. Still has an attitude.

Tuxedo Joe is BaumBQ's SPG-style rub with salt, garlic, fermented white and black peppercorns, and coffee. It's clean, savory, and ridiculously useful.

Best on: steak, grilled asparagus, mashed potatoes, smoked baked potatoes, burgers, eggs

Buy this if: you want a savory everyday rub that dresses up everything it touches.
