Ribs for Mother's Day.

This is the best rub for all kinds of ribs including Spare Ribs for the smoker.

This is a homemade rub for chicken, ribs, or chops

Here in the South ribs are a very common meal, so they aren't always done the same way. So here is a good rub for ribs to try out sometime.

My wife has an intolerance to pepper so I had to find something that would work for bbq without tearing her system up like the traditional Texas bbq. If you can't handle even a little heat take out the pepper, the five spice will still add a dimension of heat without the burn!

This mix is a fantastically versatile marinade. It can be used on a variety of different foods, but I find it best used to marinate meats with. This recipe is the product of trial and error, using different ingredients and quantities to create a rub for my pulled pork. One thing you'll notice is that although it has a very long shelf life, that you'll get small clumps when it's in storage. This is just the sugar clumping up and is easily rectified by shaking it up a little.

Ready to rub

Has a little kick!

One day i was looking around for a good rub to use during my first attempt to smoke a pork butt. I found this recipe on About.com (http://bbq.about.com/od/rubrecipes/r/bl912111a.htm). Although, the creator had only ribs in mind, this rub has proven to be loved by all that have tried it so far. It is a good rub to use on pork in general. I highly recommend trying this out.

This is a super simple recipe. It takes a few minutes to prepare (no more than 10 min) and the rest is made by the oven!We hope you enjoy it and leave your comments/suggestions!
