QUICK AND EASY BARBECUE RUB
This rub is my personal recipe, settled on after lots of experimenting. It's great on ribs, brisket, and pork butt. Quick and easy from ingredients everyone usually has. This recipe makes enough for 2 to 3 full racks of baby back ribs, depending on how liberally you coat them. For those that are new to barbecuing/smoking, 'rub' is a misnomer, as you're really just coating the meat and not actually rubbing it in. Generally, I'll rinse and pat dry the meat I'm prepping then apply a thin coat of yellow mustard so that the rub sticks.

Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to mix. (Actually, your hands work better for mixing than a spoon or whisk does. Use your fingers to break up any lump of brown sugar.) Store the rub in an airtight jar away from heat or light; it will keep for at least 6 months.
BBQ SPICE RUB
This rub is so simple! It's made with the everyday spices you have in your cupboard. I rub it on everything from chicken to pork to burgers to steak. I keep it in a Ziploc® bag in the freezer. It's always ready to go! Double or triple your ingredients so you always have it on hand.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your rub. Use fresh herbs and spices, and avoid using pre-ground spices, as they will not have as much flavor.
- Experiment with different flavors: There are many different ways to make a barbecue rub, so don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Try adding different herbs, spices, and other ingredients to create a rub that is unique to you.
- Use the right amount of rub: When applying the rub to your meat, use a light touch. You don't want to overpower the flavor of the meat, so use just enough rub to coat the meat evenly.
- Let the rub sit on the meat for a while: The longer you let the rub sit on the meat, the more time it will have to penetrate the meat and develop its flavor. If you can, let the rub sit on the meat for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight.
- Cook the meat at a low temperature and for a long time: This will help the rub to caramelize and develop its flavor. You can cook the meat in a smoker, a grill, or even in the oven.
Conclusion:
A good barbecue rub is essential for creating delicious, flavorful barbecue. By following the tips above, you can make a rub that will enhance the flavor of your meat and make your barbecue a success.
