does anyone konw of a good rib rub?
i am looking for something sweet, maybe with brown sugar???
 
Sorry dude, I can't use the search function for some reason. I don't use brown sugar in the rub because it tends to burn easily. It's better to slather a little BBQ sauce on them at the end. Other than that, just use a little of each of your favorite seasonings.

Heres a personal favorite:

3/8 cup Paprika
3 TBSP Brown Sugar
3/8 Cup Dry Mustard Powder
1 1/2 TSP Garlic Powder
1 1/2 TSP Celery Seed
1 1/2 TSP Sea Salt or Non-Iodized Salt
1 1/2 TSP Ground Thyme
1 1/2 TSP Ground Marjoram
1 1/2 TSP Coriander
3/4 TSP Cayenne
2 Cups Cane Sugar, or Granulated Sugar
1/2 Cup Seasoned Salt
1 TSP Ground Allspice
1/2 TSP Ground Ginger
1/4 TSP Ground Cloves

It makes about 3.5 cups. If you want a spicy variation (which I highly recommend) you can add:

2 TBSP Black Pepper
1 TBSP Cayenne
1 TBSP Dried Jalapeno Powder

******* Its not good on the grill though, only in the smoker or else the sugars are going to burn.
 
For a stock out of the box sweet rub, you might want to give Adkins Western Style Barbecue Seasoning a try. It's pretty sweet tasting. It was given to me to try from a friend in Dallas, Tx. www.adkinsbbq.com My personal favorites are Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning or Zatarain's Creole Seasoning. As a side note, you can sweeten up the Creole Seasoning with a spritz of apple juice before foiling.
 
Here's mine! Hope you try and like it!

Take care, have fun, and do good!
