I'm posting this for easy access the next time my husband makes a batch:) This is a rub he has been using for years when he BBQ's or smokes baby back ribs, with great results. You can also use on grilled chicken, pork chops or steak. Read more If your grocery store has the bulk food bins, that's the way to buy your spices! See less

Ingredients

1/2 cup smoked paprika shopping list
1/3 cup salt shopping list
1/4 cup brown sugar shopping list
2 tbsp mustard powder shopping list
1/4 cup chili powder shopping list
1/4 cup cumin (added to recipe 11/8/2015) shopping list

How to make it

In a medium size bowl add all of the ingredients, mix well. Store in a glass jar or container.
Note: 11/8/2015 ~ I added 1/4 cup cumin to the ingredients, per Rick, makes the rub even better. It's certainly optional to all who have made the original rub and liked it, maybe try it with the cumin and see what YOU think:)

This was Deeeelicious! I'm glad this made a lot so I have plenty for future use. Just bottled it up in extra spice bottles I had lying around :) I also wouldn't mind trying it on some steaks like Frankieanne did below, or even a whole chicken and roasted! Lot's of options :) Added more in FA's IMI link Ricks Rub

I sure like the sound of this rub. I'm not a big fan of BBQ sauce so I'm always looking for alternatives. This sounds like a real tasty way to cook ribs.

My new smoker arrives tomorrow. Your recipe hit my feed just in time. This will be my labor day rub for my ribs. I'm loving the smoked paprika.

I usually use McCormick's Grill Mates Smokehouse Maple on my steaks because it has brown sugar in it along with the maple. I love brown sugar on meats! I used this on a New York cut steak. I used chipotle chili powder and left out the cayenne (I don't have any) and it was just spicy enough for me. I liked the brown sugar mixed with the paprika. Very nice! I added a picture and put a thread in IMI. 8/3/13
