with
at least a CUP of sugar?

Anyone have a rub recipe that is sugar-free and real good on pork
and
beef? I mostly smoke pork shoulders, pork ribs
and beef ribs (at least so far!)

No problemo Grant. I use Bayou Blast, "Emeril's Essence" almost
exclusively albeit with reduced salt. I can post the recipe, but you
can simply log on to "Foodtv.com" and look it up there. I've fed
it to some BBQ 'masters' and they didn't flinch, so I figure it
can't
be too bad. There's another I like real well, "Wild Willy's number
Wonderful". I can't remember if that has sugar in it or not. Scream
for the recipe and somebody will come up with it. There's lots of
rub recipes with no sugar.
