Pitmaster's Choice

The Pitmaster's Choice range at Sydney BBQs covers two jobs every BBQ cook does: seasoning the meat before it goes on, and resting it properly once it comes off. The Pitmaster's Choice All-Purpose BBQ Seasoning is a mild, garlic-forward shaker that works on chicken, lamb, beef, pork and veg. The Pitmaster's Choice BBQ Blanket is a 5-layer insulated bag for resting brisket and pork shoulder. You can see both at our Ingleburn showroom.

Pitmaster's Choice BBQ Blanket

The BBQ blanket is a 54 × 40 × 20 cm zip-up meat resting bag, sized for a full packer brisket. A thickened aluminium foil lining faces the meat, closed-cell EPE foam sits behind it, and a tough outer shell holds it all together, with a full-width metal zip and stitched carry handles.

It replaces the towels-in-the-esky routine. Wrap the cooked brisket in pink butcher paper, zip it into the blanket and rest it for 2 to 4 hours. For a longer hold, put the zipped blanket inside an empty esky and check the meat with an instant-read thermometer before you slice: hot food should stay at 60°C or above.

Pitmaster's Choice All-Purpose BBQ Seasoning

The all-purpose seasoning is a 280 g shaker built on salt, garlic, onion and savoury spices, with paprika extract for colour. It has no chilli heat, so it suits the whole family, and it's made in Australia from at least 58% Australian ingredients.

Use it on chicken thighs and wings over charcoal, lamb chops and shoulder, steak, pork ribs, roast potatoes and hot chips. Because the blend contains sugar, keep it away from long stretches of very fierce direct heat so it browns rather than burns.

Which One Do You Need?

If you cook low and slow, start with the blanket: a proper rest is the difference between a brisket that slices cleanly and one that dries out on the board. If you grill most nights, the seasoning is the one you'll reach for. Plenty of customers buy both, along with a brisket rub for the bark and the rest of our smoker accessories.
