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?
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.

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.
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.

Best Cookbooks - Meathead's "The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling", Chris Lilly's "Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book", Aaron Franklin's "Franklin BBQ"
Cookbooks to check out - Raichlen's "Brisket Chronicles" and anything by Adam Perry Lang.
Current fanboy cookbook - "Chasing Smoke: Cooking Over Fire Around the Levant"
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.
