Store bought rub more salty then the homemade stuff?

[JustusIV]

The last go around with my ribs i really caked on the rub, and while they were super flavorful they were also a bit to salty. Isnt the store bought stuff a lot more salty then the homemade stuff? I plan on making a rub this next go around and really like a think rub but hoping the salt issue will fix itself.

I have never really tried to calculate the amount of sodium in a commercial rub to the equivalent amount in a home-made rub.

I almost always use home-made rubs and will adjust the salt the second go-round.

I just thought i remembered reading that somewhere. I guess i will assume its mildly true. :)

So i have been looking around, anyone recommend a rub?
Just looking for a standard rib rub but there seems to be a lot of variety.
He is about the only place i have checked out so far.

I've used this one on all my ribs (including the ones in the fridge right now) so far and I love it.

Only thing I've changed it to halve the Cayenne as our family isn't much for the hot stuff.  I think it's perfect that way, adds a touch of flavor but really no heat.

I like a little heat, i think i will give it a whirl.
Thx!
