Hello, Please allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Michael J. King. I am married and have 3 children.

I am the owner of Pool Kings, LLC, PK Kustoms, LLC and Swimmin’ in Smoke[emoji]174[/emoji], LLC


I created Swimmin’ in Smoke[emoji]174[/emoji], LLC in 2010 because I love to cook, grill and BBQ! A long time ago I created an all-purpose seasoning for my grill. I didn’t like carrying all the spices out to the grill with me. I was even made fun of for shaking on so many different spices on my food. That inspired me to create an all-purpose rub. A rub that had everything you need in it in ONE shaker. I now call it Chik Bait[emoji]174[/emoji]! It is perfect on chicken. Then I started competing in professional competition barbecue. I went to several BBQ supply stores and spent a lot of money on different rubs and seasonings. I realized that I couldn’t find any rubs that I really liked. After competing for almost 2 years and coming in at the bottom of the pack. I told everyone about my own rub that I created many years ago. They all told me, “don’t reinvent the wheel”. I didn’t listen!

I perfected my rub for chicken and also came up with a rub for the other 3 meats in competition BBQ. I now have my own rub for all 4 meats, Chicken – Chik Bait[emoji]174[/emoji], Pork Ribs – Radical Rib[emoji]174[/emoji], Pork Butt/Shoulder – Booty Shake[emoji]8482[/emoji] & Beef Brisket – Boo Yah Beef[emoji]8482[/emoji] and Cattle Call. I use my own rubs in the competitions and have received numerous awards for my BBQ & my rubs. I have a line of 12 rubs now! 

My rubs are:

Chik Bait[emoji]174[/emoji]

Gluten free and contains no MSG.

Chik Bait is an all purpose rub / Seasoning, NOT just for chicken. It is a salt, pepper and garlic based rub.

This seasoning tastes great on pork chops, lamb, seafood, hamburgers and even salad. We have heard from some people and the things they use it on are; pork butt, eggs, sandwiches, celery with cream cheese, Ramen noodles, corn, steamed veggies and even bagels with cream cheese. The list goes on.

I use this on “little chicken wings” (my kids call them) as a dry rub. We love it!

Boo Yah Beef

Gluten free and contains no MSG.

Well… The name pretty much sums this rub up perfectly! It’s for Beef! And it’s the Bomb! Your Brisket wont be the same!! Put this on steaks and every one will call you the Grill Master!

This has a little heat and not too much salt.

This is great on any red meat. Rub it on your Holiday Prime Rib… yup, it’s that good! Hamburgers, meatloaf, roast, veal or even ribs will never be the same. People have used this on a lot of wild game also.

I use this on all my comp briskets.

Radical Rib Rub[emoji]174[/emoji]

Gluten free and contains no MSG.

This was actually first created for a BBQ catering company that wanted me to make them a rub for Memphis style ribs. It was used on the first day and had to be diluted the next day because it was too hot. Well, I went back to the kitchen and took out some heat and added more sweet and BAM! Radical Rib Rub was born.

Use this rub on pork ribs or lamb chops.

People have used it on steak, ham, sautéed onions, wild game and even beans.

My favorite thing to put it on is St. Louis Style Spare Ribs.

Booty Shake

Gluten free and contains no MSG.

Booty Shake actually got its name while I was at a BBQ Competition with my wife and kids. I was shaking my home made pork rub on my competition pork butts while singing to my kids “shake your booty” and the name stuck!

This peppery, woody, sweet rub will have you wanting to put it on everything.

Use this for slow cooking or use it in the kitchen for some faster eats also.

People use this on steaks, chicken, corn on the cob, pork chops, roasts, potatoes, even potato chips.

I love it on Pork Butts!!

Fish Bait

Gluten free and contains no MSG.

This is a salt, pepper, garlic & citrus based seasoning

I was cooking fish one night and thought it would be nice to have one bottle of seasoning for fish that I liked. For the next few weeks I cooked and cooked fish until I got the flavors just right. Now every time I cook fish, I grab some Fish Bait.

People have used this on, chicken, pork chops, veggies, salads, stir-fry, shrimp and even fish.

I Love it on pan fried Cat Fish.

If you like a lil’ heat to your meat! All these flavors above also come in HOT.

Salt Free Chik Bait

Gluten free and contains no MSG.

Salt Free Chik Bait is just that. Chik Bait but without all the salt! It’s an all purpose rub / Seasoning, NOT just for chicken. This is a healthy way to eat great flavor! Put this seasoning on pork chops, lamb, seafood, hamburgers or even salad. It works great in soups and dips. We have heard from some people and the things they use it on are; eggs, sandwiches, Ramen noodles, corn and steamed veggies. The list goes on.

I use this all the time when I cook, to add a little flavor without all the salt. I even keep some on the table to use in place of salt and pepper.

Cattle Call

Gluten free and contains no MSG.

This rub is a coarser Boo Yah Beef and is great on any and all red meat! Rub it on your Brisket, roast, veal or even Elk or Buffalo. Mix it in your Hamburgers or meatloaf! People have used this on a lot of wild game. Try a little or a lot on your steaks. It really adds a lot of flavor to beef stews also. Some of my favorite thing to put this on is beef Tri Tip and Beef Brisket.

Thank you for your time and have a great New Year!!
