need some rub help!!

[armpower]

hello everyone.    hope your summers are going good.    i am making about 10 racks of spare ribs for my in-laws 40th  in a few weeks.   and would love some sugestions for a good rub.   i have heard the iceman has it nailed down but hard to get these days.   so any help would be great.   i am smoking them the weekend before and will reheat them for the day,  so i will just use sauce as a side to dip into,  plus i kinda like dry ribs with a good rub anyway.

thanks in advance for all the great suggestions.

Hi Luke,

Don't really have a rub recipe. But what I like to do is use Paprika, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Cumin, Salt, Pepper and Cayenne Powder. Just sprinkle on to taste and rub in. I would use the tutorial from 10.5 The results are great. http://www.susanminor.org/forums/showthread.php?t=581 Good luck and have fun.

Try AL Roker's for starters.  This is where I started.  Just modify after that until you find what you like.

Here is the rub that I used in the tutorial and is my go to rub.

General Purpose Rub Recipe

Mix together thoroughly the following:
•   1/4 cup dark brown sugar (packed). Use "turbinado" sugar for ease of use, but either works fine.
•   1/4 cup sweet paprika (Hungarian, if you can get it)
•   3 tblsp kosher (or sea) salt
•   1 tblsp ground pepper (fresh peppercorns recently ground!)
•   1 tblsp garlic powder or 2 tblsp granulated (not garlic salt)
•   1 tblsp onion powder
•   1 tblsp chili powder (no, it will not be "hot")
If you want to kick it up a notch add 1 tblsp cayenne pepper.

Store in a tightly sealed container, and refrigerate, to maintain freshness, for up to 4 months.
