    Here is one I use:

    1 1/2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
    1 teaspoon ground coriander
    1 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
    1 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    1/2 teaspoon thyme, dried
    1 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
    1 tablespoon coarse Sea Salt
    1 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
    1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
    4 tablespoons turbinado sugar

    This blend is on the mild side. If you want it spicier, increase the amount of Hungarian Paprika and Red Pepper Flakes.

    you can kick up any rub you like with some cayenne. one of the problems with rubs is that they lose some heat during the low and slow cooking process so add a little more half way thru the cook to spark it up, or just a very light dusting of cayenne halfway thru. with longer cooks like a butt the flavor really starts to disapear.

    Here's one of my favorites:

    Louisiana Spice Mix

    2 Tb cayenne
    2 Tb salt
    2 tsp sweet Hungarian paprika
    2 tsp hot Hungarian paprika
    4 tsp black pepper
    4 tsp garlic powder
    2 tsp white pepper
    2 tsp dried thyme, crumbled
    2 tsp dried oregano, crumbled

    I like it because it doesn't have any sugar - I love spicy eggs in the morning, but sugar just doesn't taste right with eggs. :S

    I always grind my own pepper for it - makes a huge difference in the heat.

    Like most I have one that I am parcial to. It def. has some kick but if you are looking for more just add some xtra cayenne pepper or jalapeno seasoning.


    8 tablespoons light brown sugar, tightly packed
    3 tablespoons kosher salt
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1/2 teaspoon jalapeno seasoning
    1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
    1/2 teaspoon rubbed thyme
    1/2 teaspoon onion powder

    This amount will coat about 3 baby back ribs. Its simple but do not under estimate this rub.

    Make sure you cook indirect or at a low temp. The brown sugar will start to burn if not, it want ruin the ribs or anything, its just not real pretty that way... OH BUT SO SO TASTY!!

    STLjhawk,

    Snake Venom. I gotta get me some of that. Bobby Wier of the Dead does a sauce called Snake Oil and it is awesome.

    Simple is as simple is. My friend has had several "Q" joints over the years and this is the staple pork and beef rub.

    Love the simplicity of this one, it allows you add to it and make your own variations. Thanks a lot for the help, have some baby backs to do on Sunday for the game.
