Dry Rub for Ribs
Every rack of ribs needs a good seasoning
blend! I’ve been smoking and grilling ribs for
years and wanted to create a dry rub for ribs
that was versatile enough to use in any rib
application. This spice mix is the perfect mix
of sweet and savory with some secret
ingredients that add punch and pizazz so you
can amp up that BBQ flavor, no matter how
you’re cooking your ribs. This rib rub is
fantastic on its own, you don’t even need
sauce!
Rib Rub
Let’s talk about the building blocks of a good
rib rub. I think the best rib rubs start with
sugar as a base. Pork and sweet were just
made to go together. From there, you’ll see
recipes with salt and pepper plus a mix of
things that are custom to each pitmaster. I like
to add in smoked paprika for a boost of wood
fired flavor as well as a gorgeous red color
that pops. Onion and garlic are classic flavor
enhancers. Ground mustard ends up in almost
all of my rubs as a punchy, almost acidic note
of brightness.

My secret ingredients in my rib rub are the
cinnamon and the celery salt. The cinnamon
adds this lip-smacking quality that people
can’t identify when they are eating it, but it
keeps them coming back for more and more.
The celery salt is the perfect earthy balance to
the sweet brown sugar. Balance is crucial in a
good dry rub for ribs!
Store your rib rub in air tight glass containers
(I buy ones like these online) and they will last
at least a month. You may need to shake or mix
to break up and brown sugar clumps. These
jars of seasoning make a fantastic gift! See the

So good! Made the rub as directed, put it
on a rack of baby back ribs, covered, and
cooked for four hours. The meat was so
tasty that I just made gravy from the
drippings and served it with rice.
Delicious! Seemed a shame to add
barbecue sauce to it, so we didn’t. Love
