"Rib Rub by Kevin Kruger

By RoketJSquerl

My rub recipe from last night's ribs. Served with Kinda Carolina sauce on the side...

This makes just enough for 3 racks of spares. I don't mix salt into my rib rubs. I sprinkle Kosher salt generously on the rack first, then apply the rub over it.

Ingredients

• 1/4 c sugar
• 1/4 c ground Ancho chili powder
• 1/4 c paprika
• 1 Tbl ground cumin
• 1 Tbl onion powder
• 1 Tbl dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried marjoram
• 1 tsp cayenne
• 2 Tbl green peppercorns, crushed
• 1 Tbl ground white pepper
• 1 tsp celery seed
• 1/2 tsp ground allspice
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ginger

Preparation

Step 1

Dry the ribs and sprinkle salt on them. Apply the rub. I do this when I am starting the coals and let them sit on the counter till the coals are ready then smoke low and slow. Last night's were with hickory--took about 6 hours in the WSM--then I double-wrapped them in heavy duty foil and rested them an hour. Delicious.
