You know, I have tried several different rubs for pork, chicken beef etc. Most often I like a simple rub of equal parts salt, pepper, garlic powder and a dash of crushed red pepper. I tried for the first time coating my ribs in yellow mustard prior to applying the rub and I really liked it's adhesive quality and little extra tang, I will be using that method again. 

All that being said I really, really, really liked how the rack of ribs turned out that I applied Grill Mates Cowboy Rub to. For now, this will be my "goto" rub. It produced a thick, dark bark on my ribs and I can't wait to try it out on a pork butt or something. Check out the link below to the exact rub I am talking about.

The cowboy run does look interesting. I noticed it has cloves in it. Can you taste the cloves. For some reason I can't handle the taste of cloves.
 
Which is a better rub bond ... olive oil or mustard???

Sorry for the extremely late reply. I much preferred mustard to olive oil. Their are usually enough oils and juices in the meat as it is so the mustard is a nice balance.
