Give me you best rib rub recipe please:

Update:  my wsm wasn't heating up fast enough  so I split workload into three grills.



Otg is heating up too fast so I plan to cook the tri tip in it.  It's really hard trying to time everything so they finish at the same time.

Yes you sure do.

Yes, lite to medium is fine.....even heavy still works OK depending on what's in it.....

I'm a believer.

You'll probably be done by the time you see this.........but when you go to take your solo, remember to breathe.......just breathe.........

I have used another rub from that site that is pretty rocking on cow, used it on prime rib to excellent reviews from the fam. Mrs. O'Leary's Cow Crust

Half Bovine Bold, half Yardbird. Not to heavy or the ribs will be salty.

Hickory smoke. They finish with a beautiful mahogany color.

I like my ribs a bit sweet so my rib rub has a bit more sugar in it than most probably.  I know others have brought up that it could burn, but been using this recipe for a few years and I haven't had the sugar burn yet. 

8 parts brown sugar or turbinado/sugar in the raw sugar.
3 parts kosher salt
1 part real hungarian sweet paprika
1/4 part onion powder
1/4 part garlic powder
1/4 part cummin
1/4 part chili powder
1/4 part old bay

I also don't use mustard on my ribs before putting on the rub, I use a small amount of olive oil, and then I dust it like crazy.   The last few months I've taken to putting it all into a spice grinder first and then dusting it on.   Haven't fully decided if it makes a difference yet.

These are my ribs after they've been dusted.



And some pictures of the finished product.  I should note I don't sauce mine at all, just all dry rub.
