It's been far too long since any of the sites culinary geniuses have posted in here so I figured I'd better get the ball rolling again.

These are my go-to rubs for pork ribs & for other smoked pork (like Pulled Pork).


Kansas City Rib Rub

Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar (light or dark)
1/4 Cup Paprika
1 Tablespoon Ground Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
3/4 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
3/4 Tablespoon Onion Powder
1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
(I cut the Chili Powder & Cayenne pepper in half, else the ribs are too spicy for many folks)

Directions:
Mix all ingredients. Work 1/2 mixture into meat 12-24 hours before cooking. Apply remaining rub just before smoking.
