Here is a good no salt rib rub:

No Salt Rib Rub for Honey Coated Ribs - There is no salt in this rub, no sugar either. All the sweet comes at the end.
Ingredients:

3 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground basil
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon red pepper
1 tablespoon mustard powder

Warmed honey

Combine all the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly, season and smoke your ribs. Brush ribs with warm honey about 10 minutes before ribs come off the pit.

I keep a jar of this on hand, and don't mix any salt into it. Even though it's called a beef rub, I really like it on chicken.


Jim Goode's BBQ Beef Rub
"This beef rub is great for beef, pork and lamb. Once you mix the spices they'll keep about 4 months in an airtight jar. When ready to use, just rub into the meat, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate the night before grilling."
Jim Goode
