What I've started doing is cutting down the sugar in the rub, then adding turbinado sugar to the meat after it is rubbed to match folk's sweetness desire. It is actually fun to add the turbinado sugar at the end too, after they are sauced and finished. The raw sugar crystals kind of explode in your mouth with crunchy sweetness. I bet the kids would LOVE that! Pic below.

Triple this recipe for a full shaker. Even though there is pepper in it, there is very little heat in the rub.

1 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp black peppercorns
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp New Mexico chili powder
1/8 tsp mustard powder
Directions
1. Throw all ingredients in a blender and blend until the peppercorns are broken up.

Thanks Scott. Not BB's but works just the same. Here's a side view. The sugar addition was purely an accident after trying the less sugar rub above and realizing they needed to be a little sweeter. Fun discovery.
the rub that i use for the adults has:
kosher salt
black pepper
granulated onion
granulated garlic
paprika
chili powder
i always used brown sugar in my rubs until i tried this rub above once and then i threw away all of my other pork rub recipies.

Hey Rye,
You got a lot of good rub suggestions. Smoked some spares for the kids about a month ago which they loved! Here was my process;
Initial rub;
- 3/4 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 2 tbsp Dry Mustard
- 2 tbsp Onion Powder
- 2 tbsp Kosher Salt
- 1 tbsp Ground Black Pepper
Foil with butter & dark brown sugar
The mop with;
- 1 Cup Apple Sauce
- 2 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
The sweetness was not overpowering and they turned out just like a famous restaurant in Montreal called Bar-B-Barn!
Hope this helps. Cheers

If you like a sweeter Rib , try putting a tsp. of Turbinato Sugar to each and spread it over the face of the Ribs and let them finish , I do this about 30min. before I serve them, good
I use a rub similar to Scott's .
Have fun and . . .

i make a good bbq dipping sauce. here is how you make it:
onion
black pepper
kosher salt
light or brown sugar
onion and garlic powder
ketchup
apple cider vinegar
(not giving any measurements) sorry
i make a really good rub also (use it on everything i smoke):
Black pepper
Kosher salt
Granulated onion
Granulated garlic
Paprika
chili powder, red pepper flakes(optional)
i dont use sauce. if bbq comes out right you dont need sauce but, alot of my friends/family like to use sauce on the bbq.
i know alot of people are against putting water pans in the smoker but i do. i use a 12 oz bottle of coors mixed with 12 oz of apple juice.

Found something already premade, so much so it's become my go to rub for ribs. Straight out of the bottle or just add a bit of brown sugar, has everything that was in my home-made rub.... Club House / Mc Cormick Montreal Steak Spice..... even though it might taste a bit salty, trust me, the salt taste disappears.
