Barbeque Dry Rubs
The Pitmaster's Secret
The Pitmaster's Secret
Our BBQ dry rubs create emotion. Our customers say they are a game changer, little tubs of wonder. They ask us where have we been been all their life. They start cooking food to go with the rub instead of choosing a rub to go with the food.
We have customers who have practically dedicated their Instagram feeds to pictures of meals made with our sauces and rubs. There are at least two restaurants that have built their menu around our dry rubs.
Why? It's because we create every tub for you. We make an effort to make you fall in love with it. We want you to be excited. We want you to have a long and happy affair with Great Northern Larder.
Essential Outdoor Cooking Tools
We stock the best quality cast iron cookware from The Windmill in Holland and Petromax in Germany. No BBQ is complete without smoked pit beans, mac and cheese, grilled onions, or any of the other beautiful sides you can create on cast iron.
Why support Great Northern Larder?
Why support Great Northern Larder?
You, like us, believe in cooking over flames. You have that primal urge to set a tree alight before placing a dead animal on it. You are a hardcore carnivore and a twisted fire starter. You worship the gods of pork and beef, you pray to the saints of cherry and oak.
You are in the right place. Here you will find a curated selection of the best BBQ sauces, rubs, and accessories outside of Texas.
We don't sell pellets, we don't sell fake smoke boxes, we don't sell aprons with hilarious cartoon torsos on them. Real bbqers wear t-shirts and cook over wood. End of.
So if you are looking for the best charcoal in Europe, the best sauces and rubs on the planet, and some of the most premium cast iron and other BBQ accessories available online then you are welcome.
Take your time - we believe in low 'n' slow around here. Panic selling is not our style. If it goes out of stock we will get more soon. Relax, have a beer, eat some beef.
Barbeque Charcoal and Smoking Wood
At Great Northern Larder we are passionate about cooking over wood. For us that means smoking with real chunks of hardwood, or grilling over charcoal made from the best quality ethically sourced hardwoods.
Charcoal
Great Northern Larder is the home of Cuban Marabu charcoal. The world's best lumpwood charcoal and very sustainable.
Smoking Wood
We have a range of flavours from traditional barbeque favourites like oak and hickory to native apple and Spanish citrus.
Fire Lighters
Natural wax and wood wool firelighters, compressed wood tablets, blow torches, and starter chimneys to get your fire going in no time.
Restaurant Grade Charcoal
For restaurant cooking, Kamados, and high end Japanese hibachi you might want to try our restaurant range.
Our Story
Ruairi & Laura
Ruairi & Laura
Great Northern Larder is the brainchild of Ruairi Browne and Laura McMenamy. By now you know our business is all about barbeque, barbecue, and even BBQ. But who are we really?
Barbecue Sauce
It's what we do best. Try our famous and very addictive Scotch BBQ for pork and vegetables. Lash on rich and velvety Stout for beef and lamb. Glaze chicken and pork with sweet and sticky rum. They are all made with apple cider vinegar from a local apple farm.
Scotch Barbecue Sauce
Scotch whisky and Oriel Whiskey Smoked Sea Salt and proper molasses for a great smoky sweet flavour.
Rum Glaze
Old Sea Dog rum mixed with proper Coca Cola and fresh citrus juices. Then a little Jerk seasoning for a Caribbean kick.
Stout BBQ Sauce
Guinness Stout and lots of vegetables combined with raw cane sugar and of course apple cider vinegar. Irish barbeque in a bottle.
