This special all-purpose blend was created from our competing on the SCA circuit. We were blending many different spices to achieve the flavor that was a complement to steak. We wanted a blend that would provide a steak that would not need steak sauce. This blend won 1st place at the 2020 Shed Steak Showdown in  2 separate steak competitions with over 100 teams in each competition.  It also was used as a base on the 6th place ribs at The Shed. Climax AP is a great base for ribs, pork butt/shoulder and chicken. When using Climax AP as a base, its best to layer on the flavor with our other products or just let it stand on its own. Climax AP has a hint of butter flavor that compliments just about anything.
