Here is a rub that I started with:

1 Tbs. paprika

1 Tbs. seasoned salt ( I use Johnny's)

1 tsp. black pepper

1 tsp. crushed red pepper

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. red pepper

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1/2 tsp. dry mustard

1/4 tsp. celery salt

1/4 tsp. chili powder

1/4 tsp. cumin

I hope this helps. Most of the time I leave out one of the red peppers that this calls for, my family doesn't care for extremely spicy food.

Here is Chef JimmyJ's Original Bubba Q rub, it has become my go to rub, very good and easy to tweak just a bit to your liking:

Original Bubba Q Rub

1T Kosher Salt
1T Blk Pepper
1T Wht Pepper *
1T Paprika
1T Chili Powder
1T Gran Garlic
1T Gran Onion
1T Mustard Powder
1tsp Thyme
1tsp Oregano
1tsp Cayenne

1/4C Turbinado Sugar
Makes 3/4 Cup...enough for 2-3 Butts or Racks
* Note: I left this out of the last batch and I think I may like it better...


If you mix everything but the sugar you get a Blackening Spice or Tasso Rub. Add the Sugar and you are good to go as a Rub on Butts and Ribs. Let this rest a day before using...You will be surprised how the spices come together and change...
The flavor is a cross between Tony's and Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Fish Magic.
I feel some Sugar is responsible for good Bark formation. The amount in this Rub does not make it sweet. It is pretty spicy out of the Jar but mellows as it cooks but you can still taste it and it maintains a Pinch, just not too hot.
