Any good BBQ Rub recipes?

[sidefx]

I tried one I got off some cooking show for ribs which was:

Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Cayenne Pepper Powder
Paprika
Salt + Pepper

Does anybody else have any good ones?

To that you might also add dark brown sugar and make sure the pepper is fresh ground. Those peppercorn mixes can lend a different flavor too.

I also add Dark Brown Sugar to mine.. I found a Shallot Pepper at Penzey's that I have started adding as well...
