Doing a couple slabs tommorow and being new to smoking I have yet to make my own rub. So far I have just used Butt Rub and a couple Weber varieties. I have read it's best to use a rub without salt and just salt your ribs the night before with kosher salt. Thoughts? Also please feel free to post your technique/tips/preferred sauces etc. I will be smoking these on a masterbuilt electric using cherry and pecan chips. Tia

Beef? Salt with 1/2 tsp of kosher salt per pound up to 24 hours before the cook. Right before the cook, rub with:

3 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons mustard powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons American chili or ancho powder
1 teaspoon chipotle or cayenne powder

Smoke at 225-250 with post oak until it hits 203. I don’t like wrapping ribs.

I usually hit my ribs with kosher salt about 4 hours prior to cook, then the rub about an hour before they go on.

I compiled a chart with a few different rubs I found online. I took the flavors I liked and modified the proportions slightly to come up with my own. I like doing it this way so I can get an idea of what other people use as the upper/lower bounds for each spice.

Had looked at the Memphis Dust earlier but bypassed because of the rosemary powder.

Not sure I've ever made two the same, but I like the ratios that G4T has in his post under the Mine category, except I like smoked Paprika (not sure what "hungarian" is).

Smoked paprika is better in the Chris Lilly rub, too. In fact, smoked paprika is always better than non-smoked paprika.

When I do no sauce ribs I like to use BBQ West Indies Style, Salt-Free with some Aji Amarillo pepper for heat and "sweet fruity notes".

There are many types of paprika. I normally use the basic paprika but decided to try something new and use Hungarian which is a bit sweeter. The generic bottled paprika is a mild mix that's not going to offend anyone. Smoked paprika has a lot of flavor but I find it often overpowers other spices. There are also a varieties of spanish paprikas that range in bitterness/smokiness/spiciness.

If I'm going to smoke meat, I tend to avoid smoked paprika because I don't want the flavor to clash with the smoke. I do like smoked paprika when I have to bake chicken breasts and salmon.

Consider Cavender’s Greek Seasoning for something different.... I’m a big fan of it.

Well he says in the video to salt the meat separately. I like that because I make big batches of it and not using the salt leaves more room in the container for rub.
