Butler Wood Asado rub.

The Butler Wood Asado rub is a salt, spice and garlic blend built to work as a dry rub or, mixed with warm water, as an Argentine-style salmuera brine on beef, pork, poultry, fish, wild game and vegetables. Pinecraft Barbecue carries it alongside the rest of its Butler Wood lineup.

What is Butler Wood Asado All-Purpose Rub made for? Butler Wood built its name on cooking wood out of Texas, and the seasoning line grew out of the same idea: give a home cook or a caterer one product that works across whatever protein is on the table that day, instead of a cabinet full of single-purpose spice jars.

The Asado All-Purpose Rub is made of salt, spices and garlic, kept simple on purpose so it reads more like a base seasoning than a heavily flavored specialty blend. It can be used as a dry rub or mixed with warm water into a salmuera-style brine, a method borrowed from Argentine asado cooking where the seasoned brine gets basted onto meat as it cooks over open flame rather than applied once before grilling. That dual use is why the label suggests it on beef, pork, poultry, fish, wild game and vegetables rather than pointing it at one cut of meat.

Butler Wood also sells cooking wood species such as post oak, pecan, hickory, mesquite, apple and cherry, which is the part of the brand most barbecue shops know it for. The rub is a smaller piece of the same catalog, aimed at the same customer who already trusts the company to get wood right: someone who wants a seasoning that will not fight with the smoke flavor from a good post oak fire or a pecan-fed pit.

Pinecraft carries the Butler Wood Asado All-Purpose Rub in its catalog. It pairs with a smoker or cooking wood without competing with either. Ask the Sarasota showroom which size or case count can be ordered for a catering job.
