This rub has all the classic barbecue notes: salt, spice, sweet, and smoky. It is particularly great on ribs but works with pork chops and tenderloin, chicken and even catfish for an authentic low 'n slow barbecued flavor.

Chef's note:

The great thing about barbecue rubs is that everyone eventually makes their own adaptation of their favorite rub recipe. If you don't "cotton" to a specific spice, leave it out; if you like it hotter, add more pepper or cayenne, and if you think something's lacking, add that too. Just make sure to watch the salt content as you are mixing, many prepared spices include salt and it adds up quickly!
