First Smoke - Rib Rub Feedback Please

You forgot the coarse black pepper and the onion powder!  The black pepper at least is more than an add-on!

I know the feeling.  You get the perfect rub and can't remember what you put in it.  All I know is that brown sugar, paprika, salt and garlic powder are the basics to a good rub. All the other stuff is add-ons.

I don't use any sugar or brown sugar in my rub.  I believe I have garlic, onion, paprika, black pepper, sea salt, cayenne.  That's all I can come up with off the top of my head, but I think that's it.  It's a little simple, but it works.  Again, preference.

Also, my quantities are way lower since I typically am only making one rack at a time and mix the rub for each use.  I would say all the ingredients mixed together is somewhere around half a cup.  I use all of it and it is applied pretty liberally.
