Swimmin’ In Smoke

 

Swimmin’ in Smoke was founded back in 2010 by me, Michael J. King. Before venturing into Professional Competition BBQ, I had been making my own all purpose seasoning. I didn’t have a name for it. I first created it some time ago around 1993. I had been making my own rub to enjoy with my family and friends. I didn’t like to bring all the spices I needed out to the grill every time I wanted to barbeque. So I created an all in one grilling spice I soon called Chik Bait. After competing in competition BBQ for a while, I started to formulate some new rubs for the 4 main meats in competition BBQ (Chicken, Pork Ribs, Pork Butt & Beef Brisket). All four of my rubs have won awards in the professional BBQ circuit (Including the KCBS and BCS sanctioning bodies). I came out with a new rub in 2012 called Fish Bait. In 2014 I came out with 2 new rubs called Cattle Call and a Salt Free Chik Bait. All of my rubs are made with passion and from the heart.

Be on the look out for new rubs!

 

 

 

 

Chik Bait®

Gluten free and contains no MSG.

 

 

Chik Bait is an all purpose rub / Seasoning, NOT just for chicken. It is a salt, pepper and garlic based rub.

This seasoning tastes great on pork chops, lamb, seafood, hamburgers and even salad. We have heard from some people and the things they use it on are; pork butt, eggs, sandwiches, celery with cream cheese, Ramen noodles, corn, steamed veggies and even bagels with cream cheese. The list goes on.

I use this on “little chicken wings” (my kids call them) as a dry rub. We love it!

 

 

Boo Yah Beef

Gluten free and contains no MSG.

 

 

Well… The name pretty much sums this rub up perfectly! It’s for Beef! And it’s the Bomb! Your Brisket wont be the same!! Put this on steaks and every one will call you the Grill Master!

This has a little heat and not too much salt.

This is great on any red meat. Rub it on your Holiday Prime Rib… yup, it’s that good! Hamburgers, meatloaf, roast, veal or even ribs will never be the same. People have used this on a lot of wild game also.

I use this on all my comp briskets. 

 

 

Radical Rib Rub®

Gluten free and contains no MSG.

 

 

This was actually first created for a BBQ catering company that wanted me to make them a rub for Memphis style ribs. It was used on the first day and had to be diluted the next day because it was too hot. Well, I went back to the kitchen and took out some heat and added more sweet and BAM! Radical Rib Rub was born.

Use this rub on pork ribs or lamb chops.

People have used it on steak, ham, sautéed onions, wild game and even beans.

My favorite thing to put it on is St. Louis Style Spare Ribs.

 

 

Booty Shake

Gluten free and contains no MSG.

 

 

Booty Shake actually got its name while I was at a BBQ Competition with my wife and kids. I was shaking my home made pork rub on my competition pork butts while singing to my kids “shake your booty” and the name stuck!

This peppery, woody, sweet rub will have you wanting to put it on everything.

Use this for slow cooking or use it in the kitchen for some faster eats also.

People use this on steaks, chicken, corn on the cob, pork chops, roasts, potatoes, even potato chips.

I love it on Pork Butts!!

 

 

 

Fish Bait

Gluten free and contains no MSG.

 

 

This is a salt, pepper, garlic & citrus based seasoning

I was cooking fish one night and thought it would be nice to have one bottle of seasoning for fish that I liked. For the next few weeks I cooked and cooked fish until I got the flavors just right. Now every time I cook fish, I grab some Fish Bait.

People have used this on, chicken, pork chops, veggies, salads, stir-fry, shrimp and even fish.

I Love it on pan fried Cat Fish.

 

 

If you like a lil’ heat to your meat! All these flavors above also come in HOT.

 

 

Salt Free Chik Bait

Gluten free and contains no MSG.

 

 

Salt Free Chik Bait is just that. Chik Bait but without all the salt! It’s an all purpose rub / Seasoning, NOT just for chicken. This is a healthy way to eat great flavor! Put this seasoning on pork chops, lamb, seafood, hamburgers or even salad. It works great in soups and dips. We have heard from some people and the things they use it on are; eggs, sandwiches, Ramen noodles, corn and steamed veggies. The list goes on.

I use this all the time when I cook, to add a little flavor without all the salt. I even keep some on the table to use in place of salt and pepper.

 

 

Cattle Call

Gluten free and contains no MSG.

 

 

This rub is a coarser Boo Yah Beef and is great on any and all red meat! Rub it on your Brisket, roast, veal or even Elk or Buffalo. Mix it in your Hamburgers or meatloaf! People have used this on a lot of wild game. Try a little or a lot on your steaks. It really adds a lot of flavor to beef stews also.  Some of my favorite thing to put this on is beef Tri Tip and Beef Brisket.
