Absolutely loved my bundle, only used the Forge red so far on a pulled pork. Ive never used a rub before and can honestly say the flavour difference is next level. Can t wait to try the Forge Blend and the Forge Black! I will be back...

Amazing stuff and great value too.

Gourmet Tallow - Wagyu Beef Tallow Cooking Spray

Hits all the bases with this bundle, the red brings chicken alive, blend great on steaks, normal cooks and black is perfect on Low N Slow beef.

This rub has an incredible flavour profile and texture. It's my go to for pork belly, and works incredibly well for roast pork or pork belly burnt ends. If you haven't tried it, you need to.

The Forge Bundle is a great way to try all three rubs and they each bring something different.

I’ve used them on chicken, pork, beef, potatoes, vegetables and in a few different sauces and dishes and they’ve all worked really well.

Good variety, loads of flavour and definitely worth having in the cupboard.

Really good experience from start to finish. The website was easy to use, the products arrived quickly and everything was packaged well.

There’s a great range to choose from and everything I’ve tried so far has been full of flavour and just quality.

I’ll definitely be ordering again.

Forge Red has quickly become one of my go-to rubs. It’s great on pork and chicken, but I’ve also used it in baked beans, a deep beef BBQ ragu, potatoes, corn ribs, even homemade BBQ sauce and much more.

It adds a really nice smoky flavour with a little sweetness, without overpowering everything else.

Really versatile, full of flavour and definitely one of my favourites.

Really handy stuff to have by the BBQ. The Wagyu beef tallow spray gives food a lovely rich flavour and makes it easy to coat the grill, griddle or whatever you’re cooking.

I’ve used it on burgers, steak, potatoes and even fried bread and it works really well without making everything greasy.

Quick, easy and definitely something I’ll keep using.

Really impressed with the Forge Red smoking chips. They give off plenty of smoke and add a proper BBQ flavour without overpowering the food.

I’ve used them with chicken, pork and vegetables and they’ve worked brilliantly every time. They also pair perfectly with the Forge Red rub.

Easy to use, great flavour and something I’ll definitely be keeping stocked up for the BBQ.

Signature Cask Smoking Chips - Special Edition Forge Red

Top quality additions to every piece of meat I've used them on so far. My particular favourite is the forge red, which is such a nice balance of flavour. The peppery kick in the all purpose rub is superb too. Would highly recommend and will be buying again soon!

This is such a great and unique product. Ultimately its more than an oil, its an ingredient that you can build recipes around. It makes anything you cook with it have that lovely flavour of beef sitting in the background but not overpowering. Cooking vegetables with one spray, for example, you can make it taste like you cooked them a pan that you deglazed after cooking a steak but without the greasiness and yet somehow with some of the mouth feel, which is probably achieved in part by the texture of the oil as much as it bolstered by the scent. Love it.

Natalie Palkovich

Superb trio of rubs, well balanced flavours and so versatile on meats and fish and more! Will be buying more for sure.
