I'm looking for homemade rubs for ribs. Watcha got?

My go to on pretty much everything is salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a little ancho chili powder, a touch of brown sugar goes good with ribs. Nothing fancy, and you can get this stuff anywhere.
 
Brown sugar
Kosher salt
Pepper
Paprika
Onion
Garlic
Chili powder
Cayenne

Its a good sweet heat

I’ve used this home made rub for years. Now I’m using simply marvelous sweet seduction.

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup paprika
1 Tablespoon black pepper
1 Tablespoon salt
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1 Tablespoon onion powder
1 Teaspoon cyanne (use less for less heat)
 
This is my go-to for all things pork.

Memphis-style BBQ Rub

INGREDIENTS
1 cup Sea salt, medium fine (no table salt, please)
1/2 cup Unrefined evaporated cane sugar (no table sugar, please)
1/2 cup Brown sugar, golden/light
2 Tbs Sweet Hungarian paprika
2 Tbs Chili powder, medium heat
2 Tbs Granulated onion (not onion "powder")
2 Tbs Dry mustard
1 Tbs Granulated garlic (not garlic "powder")
2 tsp Dry thyme
2 tsp Dry oregano
2 tsp Black pepper, ground fresh
2 tsp Celery salt
2 tsp Ground ginger
1 tsp Ground coriander
1 tsp Ground cayenne (optional, but recommended)
 
It is hard here to buy commercial rubs. They are hard to find and very expensive. Does anyone have a homemade rub that works good on ribs?

Thanks

I use a sorta "combined" approach for ribs that works well for me.

I apply a good coating of Plowboy's Yardbird (commercial, high-salt, spicy rub) for my 6-hour dry-brine, then add a light coating of Meathead's Memphis Dust (homemade, no-salt rub) just before hanging in the smoker. It produces killer bark.

You can find a recipe for Meathead's Memphis Dust online (I leave out the rosemary).

Add or subtract to your taste. This is a base recipe that is easy to modify. You could add some paprika to get more color on your ribs.
