Scroll about halfway down the page.
I usually add 3 tbsp of my own smoked ground chiles to this. The Accent is totally optional but I use it most times.
For everything else I use the Jan's Rub recipe above. I use it on ribs too!

Did I mention I like Jans Rub?
So far I love Bad Byron's butt rub. It even help me take 4th over all in a BBQ comp with my SRG's.
I keep reading about Jan's rub and I must try it. If it's half as good as everyone says it's got to be good stuff.
I never heard of Head Country or Zach's Hickory RUb so I can't say anything about them but would love to try them.
I like Jans Rub and if you want a good sauce then shacks goes great with it. It's also a make your own type so you can tweak to your taste. I have to cut back on the Black pepper for most my cooks but I like it the way it is.
