    No Sugar rib rub?

    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.

      pjlstrat it can be omitted. You won't be disappointed.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

      Mix that 50/50 with coffee and apply heavy on brisket...not too shabby.

    Jerod Broussard texastweeter mountainsmoker RonB smokin fool jfmorris Jfrosty27 First I would like to thank all of you for your responses and help. I ended up using a mix of both of the recipes posted here.

    As fate would have it I did not mix up enough rub and did not have enough for the last rack. I looked in the cupboard and had some left over MMD from my last cook, and used it on the last rack. So inadvertently I did a dry rub taste test.

    Bottom line, While I very much liked the new rub, there is no comparison to MMD. It will stick with that......until the next unintended experiment.

      It may be because MMD has both white and brown sugar?

    Aaron Franklin uses just pepper, salt, granulated garlic at Franklin BBQ .... might be worth a shot to compare that .... will be all about the meat and the smoke at that point, I think.

      When we went into lockdown, our grocery was completely out of brown sugar.
      I made MMD subbing Coconut sugar for brown and it was much less sweet.

      It was a good change of pace. I wouldn't use it all the time, but I'd use it again.

        Nothing fancy, but equal parts of paprika, black pepper, granulated garlic, and granulated onion works for me.
