🪵🔥 Boarfire Mild

North Carolina–Inspired Pork Seasoning Blend

Built for the pig pickin’.

In North Carolina, barbecue isn’t plated.

It’s gathered around.

A whole hog cooks low and steady through the night. Smoke drifts across the yard. People show up early. They stay late. When it’s ready, you don’t slice it — you pick it.

That’s the tradition.

Carol lived in North Carolina from pre-K through fifth grade — long enough for the scent of wood smoke and vinegar pork to root deep. Boarfire Mild carries that memory forward.

Originally crafted as a traditional sweet-smoke pork rub, Boarfire has evolved into a salt-free and sugar-free seasoning blend — giving you complete control over sweetness, salt, and bark formation.

Because real Carolina barbecue isn’t about pre-built shortcuts.

It’s about smoke.
It’s about patience.
It’s about people.

Smoky • Savory • Balanced • Gentle Warmth • Classic Carolina Backbone

🔥 How to Use

As a Seasoning Blend

Use Boarfire Mild like any classic pork seasoning.

Season generously and add salt and pepper to taste.
Smoke low and slow. Finish with vinegar sauce if desired.

🔥 To Recreate the Original Boarfire Mild Rub

Your original formula totaled 34 tablespoons and yielded 8 jars.

Of that:

• 14 Tbsp were sugar + salt

• 20 Tbsp were spice base

So your spice blend represented ~59% of the original recipe.

To recreate the original balance:

For Every 1 Tablespoon Boarfire Mild (New Version), Add:

• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

This ratio returns it very close to the original sweet-smoke Carolina style.

To Recreate a Full Original Batch Size:

If using 20 Tbsp of the new salt-free Boarfire Mild:

Add:

• 8 Tbsp brown sugar
• 6 Tbsp total salt (4 Tbsp salt + 2 Tbsp celery salt if recreating exactly)

That brings it back to the original 34 Tbsp formula.

A Note from the Pit

North Carolina barbecue isn’t about showmanship.

It’s about gathering around smoke and staying awhile.

Boarfire Mild keeps that tradition —
and leaves the final balance in your hands.
