ok im going to go out on a limb here and try some applesauce and some just random spices from the cabnit my brisket and ribs are in the refrig atm figured i would let the rubs work there magic over night and throw them on around 0800-0900 in the morning my brisket is a flat cut the pork spare ribs are both 2.40lbs so the skoming time should be real close to the same time right?

Here is one I've been using. Tweaked from a few different recipes.

1/2 cup kosher salt
1/3 cup sugar in the raw
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 T granulated garlic
2 T granulated onion
2 T paprika
1 T chili powder
2 T black pepper
1T ground thyme
1 T ground cumin
1t ground nutmeg
2t cayenne pepper
 
I know folks have had wonderful success with nothing more than simple kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper, maybe a touch of garlic thrown in.
That's about as basic as you can get.
 
I agree, the KISS method.
 
I like the salt and pepper thing on some stuff but not ribs they just cry out for a good rub. I have used butt rub alot and here latey I have been using a new one Old Bay has a rub that works really well with ribs. It's not the same old bay for seafood it's good with alittle spicey.
 
Heres one you may like

1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup paprika
1 tablespoon Coarse black pepper
1 tablespoon Coarse Sea salt
2 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
 
Once you find a good rub recipe you should just make a big batch of it to have on hand.
Whenever I do my chipotle rub I make quite a bit, give some to my brother-in-law, fill up my own shaker and have some in the pantry whenever I run low in the shaker.
Then you always have something on hand to use when needed.
