Originated on the Suwannee River · Est. 2005

It started with a pot of chili and a man who wouldn't eat it.

Bobby Luv kept his own blend in a glass jar. One night on the river he took out his little jar of homemade heat, and Skipper just had to try it. And the rest is history.

Word of mouth

What folks are saying

It actually enhances the flavor of the food.

So I just tried Redneck Pepper and wanted to give my honest opinion. At first, I expected it to be just another crushed red pepper, but after one bite, I realized it is so much more than that!

Read the whole review

It definitely has a bit of a punch, but in a really good way. What impressed me most is that it doesn’t just add heat, however. It actually enhances the flavor of the food. You get that little kick, but you can still taste and enjoy everything else.

I also really liked that the flavor seemed to build as I continued eating rather than just hitting you with heat right away.

I am very pleased and honestly impressed. This is definitely something I could see myself using on a variety of foods.

Great job, and thank you for letting me try it!

Absolute game changer!!

Got my Redneck Pepper and let me tell ya. It is honestly one of the best seasonings out there if you like to put some kick in all your foods. I'm just a backyard bbqer and I've put it in my rubs and mopping sauces. Absolute game changer!! It's so versatile. Thanks for bringing it back!!!

The long way back

Redneck Pepper isn’t just a seasoning, it’s a legacy.

  1. 2005
    A canoe trip on the Suwannee. Bobby Luv, Billy, Skipper and Paul, a pot of chili, and a jar nobody was supposed to touch.
  2. 2006 – 2012
    We were on the shelves at Gander Mountain and in mom-and-pop shops coast to coast.
  3. 2013
    The market turned. The property went. The business closed.
  4. 2021
    We lost Skipper, the man who named it and helped build it.
  5. February 2026
    Dad went home, twenty-one years after the first batch.
  6. Now
    Crystal and Billy are mixing it again.

Good to know

Questions folks ask

What's in Redneck Pepper?

Three peppers and nothing else: dehydrated jalapeño pepper (with the seeds), red pepper and black pepper. No salt, no MSG, no fillers and no anti-caking agents.

Is Redneck Pepper sodium-free?

Yes. There's no salt in it at all, so it has 0 mg of sodium per serving. Folks who have to watch their salt use it to put flavor back in their food.

How hot is it?

It has a kick that builds as you eat, but it doesn't bury the taste of your food. Crystal calls it “pepper on steroids”: a little adds flavor, and more adds heat.

What do you put Redneck Pepper on?

Just about everything: steak, chili, ribs, burgers, blackened fish, sautéed shrimp, boiled peanuts, acre peas, salsa, ranch dip, spaghetti, soup, salad and even avocado toast. Use it at the table like pepper, or in rubs and mopping sauces.

Is it all natural?

Yes. It's made from all-natural ingredients, with no additives or preservatives.

Where is Redneck Pepper from?

It's a Florida family business that started on the Suwannee River in 2005, when Bobby Luv made his own pepper blend on a camping trip. His kids, Crystal and Billy, brought it back in 2026.

Where can I buy it?

Right here on our website, at the fairs and shows we travel to, and in the stores listed on this page.

Can my store carry Redneck Pepper?

Yes. We're looking for shops and distribution partners. Get in touch through our contact page and we'll get back to you.

From our family to yours, thank you for your support.
