Making BBQ Rubs and Winning Trophies | Steven West | Moist BBQ

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s not much that Steven West of Moist BBQ enjoys more than going to a BBQ Competition. Except of course winning a trophy at that BBQ competition. Using his own BBQ rubs of course! Steven is the pitmaster and team captain of Moist BBQ, a competition BBQ team that enjoys a good reputation on the circuit. Be it a low and slow Australasian Barbecue Alliance competition, or a Steak Cookoff Association competition, Steven and his team are up for the challenge and are regularly at the pointy end of the board. In fact, they are currently waiting for the next World Championship round of the Steak Cookoff Association, having won a ‘Golden Ticket’ invitation to head to the United States and represent Australia, cooking up the perfect ribeye steak. Off the back of his competition BBQ successes, Steven has also founded Slow Burner BBQ, a BBQ rub company whose spice rubs are on high rotation here at Smoking Hot Confessions. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this full episode of the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcast, Steven and I get into:</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">How Steven got into barbeque and how Moist BBQ got started (1:31)</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">How Moist BBQ keep up on trends in competition BBQ and the wider food scene (12:34)</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Their recent successes at Meatstock Melbourne (15:25)</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">What he thinks about a quadruple Steak Cookoff Association competition (22:49)</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">How he started his rub business Slow Burner BBQ (26:26)</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Steven’s best tips for starting a BBQ rub business (41:50)</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Barbe Con is here!
