So I am planning on smoking 4 racks of ribs this weekend and have grown tired of my usual rub. Anyone have some good rub recipes and a sauce recipe for serving on the side of course.

Try my Peach Jello rub:

3/4 cup paprika
1/4 cup ground black pepper
2 tablespoons salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 teaspoons chipotle powder
1 small box peach jello

Sounds interesting, how much does the peach flavor come through at the end? I do have everything except for the peach jello.

I would like to do at least two different rubs just to start experimenting so this coupled with maybe a Memphis style rub? Any other suggestions guys?
 
This is my "go to" rub now. Not a peachy taste just a fruity background flavor. I have put a can of peach pie filling in my BBQ beans before too. That works well!
 
Here's my version of a Memphis-style rub (from this post). I really dig it.

Memphis Dry Rub
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)

Method
Combine all of the rub ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well with a
whisk or stand mixer.

We're close, shore nuff. I'm tired of hearing of use of commercial rubs here. Sure some may be good or superior, but the point is kinda to come up with our own, n'est pas? This is my version (hotter and with the key: coffee) of one from (and bless, Capt'n) Paul Kirk.
 
Forgot to say I've used this on everything from alligator (really) to (no game friends with yak or zebra yet) to, um, pig? Swine...whatever. Gives a great flavor and crust to bloody everything. To be real, I add more coffee on beef. Also, forgot the garlic. I typically take a whole garlic (God's seasoning) and strip the skins and then food process the cloves into a meat-to-be-smoked amount of the dry rub mix.
 
Man o man now I am getting overwhelmed since they all sound AWESOME!!! I am working on writing all of these down as we speak and will have to decide tomorrow before I run to the store to pick a few things up. I really love all the great recipes you all have been kind enough to share with me ......makes me feel like part of the family:-D

I can imagine. My advice would be to look at each and find the
overlap. That will give you the common ingredients and an idea
of proportion. That's what I do when researching a _______-style
recipe.

Just an idea,
John
 
Mixed up a PatioDaddio's Memphis style rub and mad4sax peach rub. I will grab some photos along the way and start a new thread. I did copy down every recipe and will be trying them all over the course of the next month or so. Thanks so much for all the great ideas! :thumb:
