Rub

[Brewmaster]

I have been asked to cook up some ribs tomorrow for about 6-8 people, while this is doable I am not able to get to my house for making a rub, so does anybody have any ideas on a over the counter rub to use, I will be saucing with Kinders roasted garlic BBQ sauce

[Spinaker]

When you are shopping. Look for one that is similar to what you make. The ingredients on the shaker should give a pretty good idea.
Personally, I think Famous Dave's Rib Rub is pretty good stuff. Not sure if they have it all the way out in CA or not.

John Henry's is also really good if you can find it.

+1 on John Henry's. I especially like their pecan rub for poultry, fish, and ribs.

I see famous dave's sauce and rubs at all southern CA grocery stores and have never tried them. Also have 4 famous dave's restaurants within 40 miles of me...closest being about 10 miles....never tried it. Am I missing out? I don't hear about them from others

[Spinaker]

They are from Minnesota. It is some of the first BBQ I ever ate. Before they went national. It is chain BBQ, but they have some good sauces. I also kinda grew up on it, so I suppose I have taste for it. Sacred Smoke BBQ

My first go-tos from my pantry would be Three Little Pigs-KC AP, Blues Hog, Stubb's BBQ...
YMMV...

Others more erudite than me may disagree, but in my opinion you probably can't go wrong with any rub off the shelf if you cook the ribs properly.

[ecowper]

Stop in the store, grab some salt, pepper, garlic powder and brown sugar. Mix equal parts salt, pepper, garlic powder ... then add 2-3 parts brown sugar. Throw it all in a ziplock bag, shake like crazy. Wet the ribs you’re gonna cook with a little water, then apply to the ribs. If you feel like going a step further, add some paprika and a smidgen of chipotle powder, if you can easily grab some.

I agree except maybe adding some onion powder. With him saucing with a garlic BBQ sauce, I am not sure how important the rub is anyway. I would be afraid the garlic BBQ, if too strong, would overwhelm any rub used.

[ecowper]

jlazar yep, onion powder helps too. Figured on keeping it simple. And you’re right about the sauce. I personally don’t sauce my ribs. If people really want sauce, they can add it on the plate. :-)

Famous Dave’s is good, but I really like Spade L Ranch pork rub. IMHO.

Always happy to help, Dan!
I used to design/host a shiteton of websites, usin HTML. BBCode is similar, yet different, so I keep some quick references handy...
This is usually my first stop.
But, why tangle with alla that, when ya' can be cookin' great food, eh?

[Brewmaster]

Thank you all for the help

[jgreen]

Just remember that almost all store bought will have salt included. Adjust any dry brine accordingly or use the rub as your brine.

[Brewmaster]

best I could find was some Kinder Mild BBQ rub and Kinder Mild BBQ sauce, the people that wanted this cook wanted sauce as opposed to dry ribs
