Up to now, I've always found recipes and mixed my own rubs (though I can't say they are of my design). I just got a lb each of Bovine Bold and Yardbird last Friday.
I've dusted ABT's, PIGGLES and just tonight some boneless chops with Yardbird, and I gotta tell ya.....DAYUM, that's gooooooood. I've only just started using it, but it's pretty farkin tasty!!
Here's a rub recipe I got off of the VWB site for pork butt. Apparently, it's from the "The Renowned Mr. Brown" recipe from the book Smoke & Spice.

[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]1/4 cup ground black pepper[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]1/4 cup paprika[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]1/4 cup Turbinado sugar[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]2 Tablespoons table salt[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]2 teaspoons dry mustard[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]1 teaspoon cayenne pepper[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Mix ingredients thoroughly. Makes enough rub for one pork butt, with some leftover for use in the Southern Sop.[/FONT]
I've used the above rub recipe several times. I like it a lot.
