No Sugar rib rub?

[jfmorris]

Doing some St Louis on the primo tomorrow and have them dry brining tonight. Every rack I have ever done has been with Memphis Dust. I love the stuff.....but am looking for change.

Does anyone have a good rib rub recipe without the sugar component and more savory?

Thanks in advance.

A rub without sugar! INCONCEIVABLE!

I use a commercial rub often on pork that has no sugar added called Bad Byron's Butt Rub. It was my go to rub for butts and pork ribs if I didn't have a jar of Rendezvous seasoning in the pantry, and before I discovered MMD. I don't have the recipe, but know a sugar free rub can work well.

My rub would be combo of texastweeter and mountainsmoker depending on what's in the pantry.
I like what brown sugar does for my cooks but I can see wanting to try something different.

If ya need to sauce them before pulling off the grill, try 3 tbs teriyaki sauce, one tsp soy sauce, (use low sodium if you brined the ribs) and some chili bean paste. The chili bean paste is very spicy, so try maybe 1/2 tsp. I have been using a thick Kikoman teriyaki sauce, but it appears that they have stopped making it, so I'm lookin' for a replacement. If you can't find a thick teriyaki, it will be too runny for a sauce.

I keep mine pretty simple:

2 Tbs Black pepper
3 Tbs Sweet Hugarian paprika
1 Tbs Smoked paprika
1 Tbs garlic powder
1 Tbs onion powder
1 Tbs Thyme
1 Tbs Mexican oregano or regular if you don't have Mexican
1/2 tsp Cayenne - you can increase or decrease to taste

8 tablespoons paprika
4 tablespoons granulated garlic
4 tablespoons chili powder
3 tablespoons course ground black pepper
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1.5 tablespoon celery seed
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon thyme
2 teaspoon allspice
2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon MSG
