Basic Barbeque Dry Rub Recipes

Whether you're looking for a dry rub for pork or something new for your dry rub rib recipes this rub can handle it nicely. This rub is a simple basic rub but don't let that fool you, this rub packs a lot of flavor. Brown sugar, black pepper, paprika and cayenne pepper give this rub a great combination of sweet heat.  

Try tweaking and experimenting with the ingredients by adjusting the sugar, spices, etc. until you can find a flavor that is just right for you or to suit your taste. If you want to turn up the heat simply add more cayenne pepper.

Although this rub works really well with pork, don't be afraid to try it with beef, chicken, duck and fish, especially salmon or trout.
