My rub consists of brown sugar, red paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, fine sea salt, black pepper, white pepper, ground mustard seed, cumin, chili powder and cayenne. The base is the brown sugar, so the rub has a sweet taste and a hot kick. Ive thrown in other things like allspice or cinnamon to the rub. Everyone uses different stuff. Very generous with the rub. Whatever you do, do NOT use a half a cup of cayenne (my first time I made this mistake)

Im partial to Gates sauce...use your favorite, then you cannot go wrong. Good luck.

Thanks. Can you really tell the difference when preparing ribs by smoking them vs the boil and then BBQ method?
