Dry Rub Question

MikeP624 · April 2012

I made my on dry rub for my ribs. I figured if i was going to put 6hrs into smoking them i could go the extra mile and make my own rub. It was pretty good, but was missing something. I used all your standard dry rub ingredient. Does anyone have any odd ball ingredients they add to there rub that makes is special?

Coffee is another option, as well as ground sage, for something a little different. It's really about proportion and balance with each ingredient.

I've used the above with the addition of cumin, white pepper and dry mustard.

Add to the above, some thyme and/or oregano and/or savory and/or rosemary.

My favorite "oddvball" is ginger. Like a little cinnamon and allspice too.

Maple flakes ground into a powder.

I also bake my brown sugar in the oven at 225 for an hour before mixing the rub, may just be psychological, but I think it improves the flavor. Makes the house smell good too.
