Homemade Pork Rub

This simple BBQ pork rub is used for the low and slow style of smoking. It is perfect for ribs, pork shoulder, pork neck, and other similar cuts. If you want to use it for grilling then the sugar needs to be removed as it burns at high grilling temperatures.

Note that the chili powder is the blend that is used to make chili con carne or similar dishes, not the pure ground chili that has the same name in some places around the world.

Making the rub at home allows you to adjust it to your personal taste, especially salt and sugar levels. These can sometimes be used at high levels to make a commercial rub viable as they are cheaper than the expensive herbs and spices.

The brown sugar is a bit moist but fine if using straight away, not good for storage.

Measure the herbs and spice but feel free to experiment with amounts to personal tastes.

The ingredient volumes may be adjusted as long as the ratios remain the same.

Adjust the heat to your preverence by varying the black pepper and cayenne.
