Not too spicy for me JJ, I Love It!!!!
I leave out the sugar and kick up the cayenne just a tad!
 
The mild is very good. I just used Carolina Style Rub Some Butt on my last pork butt and really enjoyed it. Not too sweet.

I still can't believe no one had a smart @ss post on the thread title.

Come on guys your slacking!
 
One of my favorites is Willinghams Wham. Comes in mild or spicy.

Bad Byrons Butt rub is very good. https://www.google.com/search?q=byr...BNoLnyAH144GQAw&ved=0CDAQsxg&biw=1600&bih=754

Jeff's rub is also very good.

Lots of rubs to choose from. Everyone has a favorite.....

I've been using a rub recipe I found online by chef Robert Irvine but I added some stuff and changed some proportions to better fit my taste. This goes well on Pork and Chicken. My friends have been raving about it since my memorial day picnic roast, so I'll share it with you guys here.


As you can see, I need to make a bit more

Just did this and combined with the original bubbq...added turbinado sugar.     Hope it works out well, seems like a very good blend of sweet and spice.  I just rubbed my butt and will let it marinate overnight.
