PORK RIB RUB
A delicious rub for baby back pork ribs! Makes enough rub for 6 racks of ribs. Ground rosemary is almost impossible to find in stores. I grind up dried rosemary leaves in a molcajete, with a mortar and pestle, or a clean coffee grinder. Trust me, it's worth the few extra minutes it takes!

Steps:
- Combine white sugar, brown sugar, salt, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a container with a lid; shake until rub is evenly combined.
- Generously rub both sides of each rib rack with rub.
- Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Place 1 rack of ribs, meaty-side down, in the center of main grill rack; cook for 5 minutes; transfer to the far side of top grill rack, meaty-side up. Repeat process with remaining rib racks.
- Angle the rib racks on the top grill shelf so the meaty sides are facing out and they are stacked one in front of the other at an angle. Turn off heat directly below the ribs and turn other burner on low; close the grill lid and cook for 30 minutes.
- Flip ribs so the closest side to the flame is the furthest side and the meaty side is still facing forward and the rack that was in the front is now in the back. Continue to cook, flipping every 30 minutes, until outsides are crispy and meat is tender, about 5 hours. Slice into small chunks.

SIMPLE PORK RIB DRY RUB
I have used this simple rub to make ribs on the barbi in both Memphis, where I learned, and England, where I now live. The dry rub will stop the ribs from burning on the outside, as happens with some wet sauces. This rub is hot and sweet, which makes it perfect for ribs. The proportions of ingredients can be adjusted to taste. On two continents, I've received nothing but compliments for this recipe. I use this for approximately 2 kilograms ribs.

SCOTT'S DRY PORK AND RIB RUB
None of the pork rub recipes I tried gave me the flavor I was going for. I decided to develop my own, and after countless tries, I finally fine-tuned my recipe to one I love. This works well for ribs, pulled-pork, pork chops, etc. It makes enough for several racks of ribs or pork butts. This is a spicy but not too hot recipe. If you want a bit more heat, add more cayenne pepper.Enjoy.

Steps:
- Sift all ingredients together.I use a food processor to get a fine powder.
- Put a liberal amount of the dry rub on the meat you wish to season.
- Rub seasoning into the meat, covering entire surface.
- Let meat sit at least a couple of hours in order to let the spices work into it. Overnight is better.
- Prepare your pork as you wish. I like to cook pork butts and ribs low and slow so they fall apart. A crockpot works good if you don't want to run your oven for several hours. I finish my ribs on the grill or under the broiler with BBQ sauce.
- Enjoy.

Time 6h45m
Yield 5-6 serving(s)
Number Of Ingredients 19
Steps:
- Mix rib rub ingredients (first 14 ingredients) and store in an airtight container.
- The night before cooking, trim the ribs of all excess fat and place them in a large plastic bag; pour in Italian dressing to coat; seal bag well, refrigerate for 4 hours, turning occasionally; remove and wipe dressing off then sprinkle each rib with pepper then 1/4 cup of the brown sugar and 1/2 cup of the onion flakes.
- Wrap each rib in plastic and refrigerate overnight.
- Next day: remove from wrap and wipe sludge off ribs; generously coat front and back of ribs with rib rub and, using your hands, rub seasoning into meat and set aside.
- Smoking takes 6 hours.
- Prepare about 15 briquettes until they're red hot; place coals on one end of grill and place 1 pound of green hickory around coals (use water-soaked hickory chunks if you can't find freshly cut hickory).
- Keep internal temperature of the grill at 200-225°F and add more charcoal and hickory chunks every hour as needed.
- Place ribs bone side down but not directly over hot coals; after 3 hours, remove ribs from grill and wrap in foil; hold in covered grill at 180-200°F for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until fork tender.
- Build a really hot bed of coals over the entire bottom of the grill.
- This goes fast- place ribs back on grill to add char flavor; when meat becomes bubbly it's done.
- Slather with barbecue sauce and let the heat caramelize the sauce.
- According to Dave, this caramelizing with the charring and slow smoking is the secret to tender, smoky ribs the way it's in the deep south.
- Take your time, visit with friends and drink some beer while slow cooking these ribs.
RON'S RIB RUB
Great as a dry rub for pork or chicken, or added to your favorite BBQ sauce to add a bit of kick and flavor to your basting. I prefer to rub my pork the day before and refrigerate it overnight wrapped tight in plastic wrap. Also a good seasoning for eggs!
