Use this rub as a base and add your favorite dry spices to make your smoker the best on the block. Garlic and brown sugar come to mind...

Combine these ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. This rub can be used on any barbeque item. Just sprinkle lightly on the intended food and rub. For a spicy taste, sprinkle more heavily. This batch will do about 6 to 8 slabs of pork ribs.
