With hundreds if not thousands of barbeque rubs on the web, who needs
another one? Well, I like this one that I cobbled together years ago.
Don't think I've posted it here before. I usually spritz the meat with a
mixture of water, cider vinegar, a small amount of granulated sugar, and a
few hot pepper flakes.

Try it next time, Christine. It's really good. I think it's been nearly
25 years ago that I first put this together and wrote it down.

Do you like it on anything in particular? Ribs, pork butts, chicken,
whatever?

I like it best on pork ribs or butts, but I've used it on beef ribs and
short ribs and think it's equally good. Guess I just prefer pork as a
meat. :-) David really likes it on chicken because it really gives it some
flavor. We get very tired of chicken on the grill without a lot of
seasoning. Sometimes I shake some on burger patties before grilling.

Okay..next slab of ribs...

My butt is smokin' along. I think I have hit the infamous "stall"
that I read about...the temp is hanging around 170 degrees ...

When I started doing 'Q I experimented with a few rub recipes from
various sources. I came to the conclusion that 1. a rub should not
contain any sugars, and 2. most rub recipes were more complicated than
necessary.

My rub recipe:

50% Chili powder (Tone's works well)
20% Garlic powder
10% Paprika
10% Kosher salt
10% Black pepper

Makes as much as you want

Like most cooking, ingredients are a matter of personal preference. I
prefer a more complex flavor as well as a sweet base.

Nothing wrong with either style. I would enjoy the simplicity of your
recipe, but I would feel compelled to add sugar. :-)

FWIW, I can't stand barbecue sauces, used either during cooking or at
table.

It will turn into pulled/chopped pork... I made a NC style vinegar
sauce to go with it..and I will add a bit of that to the pulled pork,
with the rest to be served on the side. Buns and coleslaw to make
pulled pork sandwiches for those that want it.

I did this about 6 years ago, on my Weber kettle...but this time it is
in the smoker.

Ah, that sounds delicious! When I was a kid we frequently drove from
Missouri to Mississippi to visit relatives. We would always stop at a pit
barbecue place in Blythville, Arkansas for that very type of sandwich. A
very fond memory.

Five tablespoons of cayenne would send me to the emergency room. :-)

The chili powder I use is pretty hot, actually. If I use a milder one, I
add a teaspoon or two of cayenne. I guess we all have different thresholds
of "hot".
