Recommend Rib Rub Recipes

So how are the ribs coming along? What did you decide to do?

Step 1: salted and then application of dry rub.

Top left: Creole mix (JAS_OH1 I read that it's similar to Cajun, but less spicy and I had this to hand from Gumbo making)
Big one on right: paprika, garlic
Bottom left: Old Bay (well the web says it could be good and I've had this tin for ages with few uses for it so thought I'd try in on the smallest bit).

All of them have brown sugar in them. Now for a sit in the fridge till tmr.

I've been using this rib rub for at least 20 years or so. It has a much lower sugar content than a lot of rubs, which specify at least twice the amount of sugar, sometimes more.

Hoosier Q Rib Rub:

2 T sugar
2 T kosher salt
2 T paprika
1 T onion powder
1 T cumin
1 T dry mustard
1 T granulated garlic
1 T dried basil
1 T ground allspice
1 T Hot Shot pepper mix ( 50/50 black pepper and cayenne )

Of course, you have already cooked your ribs, and they look good! Never tried using Old Bay as a rub, maybe I'll try some. On cheftalk.com this month's challenge is pork, so I am sure I will be cooking some ribs in the coming weeks.

It's pretty similar to one of mine.
Except the sugar and salt :)
