Slap Yo Daddy BBQ is the love child of TLC’s BBQ Pitmasters Head Cook Harry Soo, one of the best-known barbecue names winning 30+ Grand Championships and 100+ First Place awards in the US, Canada, Hawaii, and England, including California Team of the Year 2010 & 2011, Arizona Team of the Year 2010 & 2011, 2012 Jack Daniels Invitational invitee, and 2012 & 2013 King Of The Smoker invitee. Preparing a bucket list of wishes to do before kicking the bucket, he started competing in 2008. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Featured in TLC’s BBQ Pitmaster Season One, he was the underdog among the 7 teams which included three World Champions ready to show this pitmaster from California how real BBQ is done.  Boy, were they surprised when he won the Episode 8 season finale cooking ribs against the best rib cookers in the world in the winner-take-all Rib Throwdown in Texas.

Harry’s rubs were recommended by BestGamingPro.com’s article for Top 10 Best Brisket Rubs 2021. Also, check out Harry’s Amazon suggestions.

BBQ Rubs

Harry’s rubs are artisan products that are not commercially produced but hand-mixed in small batches. Only the finest and freshest ingredients that meet Harry’s strict specifications are used and guarantees a Championship BBQ taste you’ll remember. All products are lab certified gluten-free and MSG free, except the one product containing MSG. Harry brings his championship winning rubs to you in three outrageous flavors.

Love Meat Tender All Purpose – is Harry’s most popular rub and is awesome on pretty much anything including beef, pork butt, ribs, chicken, vegetables, and tofu. It’s so versatile it can be used on mashed potatoes, grilled watermelon, scrambled eggs, stir fried noodles, Paella, shrimp-boils, or even spice up your popcorn. Some folks have even replaced the salt and pepper shakers in their kitchen with this seasoning as it really wakes up the flavor of home cooked dishes. Due to customer requests, it comes in three other versions: Low-Sodium, Hot, and MSG. The MSG version contains small quantities of an FDA-approved flavor enhancer which is a popular choice among barbecue competitors who like this product. A special custom blended version with both Hot and MSG in one rub is also available for competitors so please call.

Jailbird Chicken – This is the competition rub used to help Harry win the 1st Place USA KCBS Chicken Champion 2012 Team of the Year (TOY) chicken category. The competition takes place over a 1-year period and whomever collects the most points from best-of-ten KCBS sanctioned events is the winner. Harry had placed third in chicken in the nation in 2010 and continued to refine his chicken rub until he hit the top spot in 2012. This rub is recommended on chicken, turkey, duck, and seafood. For tips on how to use this rub in competition chicken, check out Harry’s blog.

Moola Beef – This is the competition rub used to help Harry to win 1st Place KCBS Ranchers Reserve Brisket Cup 2010 and 1st Place KCBS Ranchers Reserve Beef Cup 2011. Harry had the unprecedented honor of winning this prestigious national title two years in a row and received a standing ovation at the pitmasters award ceremony in Kansas City. This award-winning rub which contains special ingredients such as powdered Shitake mushrooms and Worcestershire powder is recommended on brisket, steaks, hamburgers, tri-tip, and sausages.

    Have you done a cook book or brochure? Being able to experience one of your classes is on my bucket list. In the meantime, something like this would be sa-weeet!

    Big Fan Harry. Just wondering, I am competing at my first ever backyard contest in late May. I placed an order on soupbase for your AP Championship Rub. The contest is ribs only, do you recommend using that rub alone or adding to it? Thanks

    1. Hey Brian:
      The AP will work.
      Just an FYI that numerous teams are taking walks in contests using SYD Chicken on the meat side of ribs and SYD AP on bone side of ribs.
      Best of luck!

    We're cooking for somebody with a nut allergy at the weekend. Will your All purpose rub be safe to use?

    1. Hey Jimmy:
      I don't have nuts in any of my rubs. My fiance Donna's 11-year old daughter is hospital allergic to nuts and she has been eating my barbecue cooked using my rubs since 2010 with no issues.

    1. Sorry the chicken hat company I purchased from went out of business a few years ago.
      There are some other copy cat ones on the Internet that you might want try out.
      Good luck.

    Hi Harry,
    Have you ever thought of running a BBQ class (or 2) in the eastern US ? .. How about Erie, PA ..Erie is right in the middle of Cleveland, Oh, Buffalo NY, and Pittsburgh PA…

    1. Hi Allen:
      Yes, I've taught classes in eastern US. I'm just a bit tied up with my schedule right now. When things ease up, I'll be sure to look into it. For example, I've taught at Fred Bernardo's Tasty Licks store before. If you can't wait, feel free to fly out to enjoy our sunny weather!

    Hi Harry,

    Been looking at your recipes and wondering how you feel about injecting your brisket. This will be my fist time trying a brisket.

    1. Hey Ruben:
      I like to inject my briskets for maximum flavor.
      You can try both methods to see which one you like.
      So long as you're having fun and your family enjoys your cooking, how you do it doesn't matter as you're cooking with love.

    Hi Harry,'
    I live down under in Au, Would love to use your chicken rub but due to outrageous
    freight costs and the Au dollar it becomes way to expensive. Do you have a similar
    recipe I could use for this and other chicken recipes.
    Appreciate your help

    Hi, I was placing an order for some rub, but was stopped cold when I saw the shipping cost for a 12oz. size shaker. I have previously ordered a couple of the larger size bags of the original rubs and the shipping wasn't this much. Is this the actual final cost for shipping? I think some other options should be available.

    Harry, Christmas was my third time using my 18.5 WSM. I used your tang-turkey recipe, and for the most part came out great. I have a couple of questions for you though, (since you're the King).
    I had a constant ambient temp of 275. Half way through my cooking (2.5 hours on a 16 lbs turkey), the color was a gorgeous golden brown. At that point I tented it and when the internal temp became 165, the turkey was dark brown. Why it do that after I tented it?
    I'm thinking that WSM ambient temp. gauge could be off.

    I bought an igrill mini temp. for my meat, and temps swing too wild. I didn't even use it for the turkey.
    Do you recommend a dual probe (for meat and ambient temp) that has bluetooth that you stand behind?

    Thank you Harry…And everyone loved the turkey!…:)

    I mixed Harry’s Moola Beef Rub with my rub and won 1st Place Brisket out of 35 teams and 6th place in very first KCBS comp. His beef rub is a proven winner and will continue to use it. I have used other commercial rubs and I can assure you Harry’s beef rub has a total different flavor profile than all the other commercial rubs on the market. I love the bit of sweet it gives, it complements the strong beefy flavor and Asian flavor. I’m ordering another 5lb bag for competitions. Trust me it’s a PROVEN WINNER!!

    1. Congratulations! Looks like the powdered shitake mushrooms, powdered Worcestershire, and citric acid in my Moola helped you win! Thanks for being a customer and may you take many more walks!

    Hi Harry, I recently made some unbelievably delicious pork belly bites. I purchased a 9 lb slab from Snake River Farms for $110. I have seen pork belly at Costco and at Restaurant Depot at a price of 10 lbs for about $20-25 dollars. Is there a real difference in the quality of pork between the two or am I being deceived. People say "pork is pork" with no difference in qualities like in beef grades. What's your thoughts on this?

    1. I'm sure there is a difference in flavors. Best to test A v B to see which one you like and how your pocket handles it!

    Harry, its me again. I am trying to buy your BBQ sauce, but I can no longer find it on your website. I called the phone number listed above because I did want to purchase 6 bottles. The person who answered said I must buy 6 cases not 6 bottles and the website was wrong. He sent me to Soupbase, but I couldn't find it there.I have found that your sauce mixed with other sauces makes a great mop sauce for pork. Where can I find your sauce?

    Hi Harry – do you have a distributor in Germany? Also, what is the shelf life on a bigger back of rub?

    1. sorry I don't have one unless you're willing to be one! 🙂
      The shelf life is at least 2-years and more if kept in a cool dark spot like the pantry.

    Dear Harry,

    I recently purchased your rub three pack and BBQ sauce. I used them on some St Louis cut ribs and a roast chicken that I injected with the chicken rub as well as using it on the outside of the bird. The results were very good. The AP rub on the ribs had a very well balanced flavor. I had a back yard taste off between your rub and the rub I usually use. I used Slap Yo Daddy BBQ sauce on all the test ribs. The results were very close but the ribs with the Slap Yo Daddy AP rub was chosen as top tasting rib by all 4 judges. All judges also really lied the sauce. Your products are top quality and I look forward to using them in the future.

    Hey Harry! I have used all of your rubs and have like them all. I make my own sauce. LOL. Im in the Midwest we like a little sweet on the front and heat on the back. I have used the foil method that you recommend and had good results. I am now starting to cook for larger venues and foiling is no longer practical. Do you have any tips on getting the final tenderness like foil, but without using foil. Kinda hard to foil 50 racks of ribs. Secondly how many rib application do you think i can get from a 5 gallon bucket of seasoning? Im planning on my next order

    Hey Harry, I'm new to your world and glad I bumped into it! Would phosphate TR be of any value in a dry rub? I make my own simple rub for rib eye and other steaks and just wonder if it would tenderizer/plump up the meat if used as a rub or as ingredient in one.

    Harry, I live in Ontario Canada (Toronto area) and I`m looking to find your rubs nearby. They used to carry them at a place called BBQ world in Vaughan but for some reason that ended. I would have them shipped but the cost is just too much. could you please help me locate your product. I have several pellet smoker enthusiasts near me that have tried my bbq with your spices and loved them. I`m sure if they were made available near us they would be a hit. I`m actually about an hour north of Toronto Canada (Barrie area).

    1. Sadly we have not had consistent sales to BBQ stores in Canada and shipping from Cleveland where my co-packer is located is quite costly as I have heard

    I took a class about 2 years ago at your place and afterwards I bought a Weber Smokey Mountain 22. You had a buddy make an after market door which holds the heat in better than the stock one but I no longer see it on your gear list, can you please point me in the direction of one of them doors. I have since moved from California to Oklahoma and your training has made me very popular here. Thanks for teaching me to spread some BBQ love.

    I can now see why the chicken rub is so popular. Tried it on wings yesterday. Just the right amount my of heat and sweet.
    Today I tried the All Purpose Rub on BB ribs. Another winner.
    Used the Beef Rub on a Ribeye but I think I would layer some Montreal Steak Seasoning with it next time.

    Hi Harry, love your videos and recipes. I’ve got a relative coming back from the States soon and in going to ask her to bring some rubs. Do your rub containers have the bigger holes again now? I’m pretty sure I saw mentioned that due to covid you had to go with generic containers for a while. Just wondered if that’s all been sorted out now?

    Many thanks

    1. Hi Dean:
      Thanks for watching my videos and your kind words.
      Before the COVID supply chain challenges we were able to source caps with 3 one-centimeter holes.
      My copacker can only find them sporadically, so temporarily, we buy what is available such as 5-hole and 7-holes.
      I tell my loyal customers to save the one-centimeter caps and use them on new bottles they purchase if the new ones don’t have the holes I specified.
      Comp teams save my caps to use in their chosen comp rubs also. I believe I’m the only person doing one-centimeter caps as they are more expensive than regular ones.

      Thank you very much for your support and business.
      Kindly,
      Harry
