Uncle Hemmy’s Gochu Knees Weak Rub

Gochu Knees Weak – Korean Maple BBQ Rub

Korean heat meets Canadian sweet.

Gochu Knees Weak is where bold flavour meets perfect balance. Inspired by the fusion of Korean gochugaru heat and smooth Canadian maple sweetness, this globally influenced BBQ rub delivers a savoury, slightly sweet kick with just the right amount of fire.

Layered and complex, this blend goes beyond heat. Crushed sesame seeds add texture and richness, while premium spices round everything out for a flavour profile that’s both exciting and approachable. Whether you’re grilling, roasting, or air-frying, it’s the rub you reach for when you want to impress—without overthinking it.
