I've been using John Henry's rubs and they are great. The problem is that they are too spicy for the kiddos. Anyone have any suggestions for good rubs for the faint hearted?
 
there is a cinnamon chipotle rub by mccormick. i often marinate in apple cider then rub with the chipotle cinnamonrub. it has a great deal of flavor, but is not "hot"
 
MAROON,
Your link seemed to indicate that product is for pork, where the OP asked about a rub for ribs.
 
mustard then lemon pepper

or good ole cracked black pepper
 
that product is for everything meat.

I thought you were kidding, because when people talk about bbq ribs, they are almost always taking about pork ribs.
 
Time to make your own rub. It's really easy, and way more fun.

required: black pepper, salt
optional: paprika
for the kids: "sugar in the raw" or "turbinado", or brown sugar
 
MAROON,
my point is, and most here know it is a bit tongue in cheek, is this: Why eat a filthy pig rib when you can enjoy the greatness of COW?

Maybe I'm the only one who still thinks this was funny, but I once chided people to 'step up to COW.' A beef rib is the only rib for me.
 
Having used butt rub, mccormicks and a slew of others - I have settled on Goode Co. BBQ Rib Rub. I love Goode Co. BBQ and bought some last year. I have gone through 3 large conatiners as I use it on my chicken, too, and gave it out for xmas gifts after getting so many compliments. Fairly priced, super fast shipping - order today and you will be using by this 4th.
 
GakFoo,
I know it is personal tastes, but I really can't stand pork ribs. They taste like grease that coats the mouth with a dirty aftertaste. That is how they all taste to me.
Beef ribs can be very fatty, no denying that. I don't know any type of rib that is particularly lean. There is a difference too between 'fat' and 'greasy' to me. Pork ribs seem seem MORE greasy than fat to me.
 
ditto the make your own sentiment. it is easy and will give you a sense of pride in your cooking that you cannot achieve using off the shelf products, provided the whole tastes good thing.

For rib rub recipes in books I would recommend Jim Tarantino's Marinades, Rubs, Brines, Cures and Glazes and Paul Kirk's Championship BBQ Sauce book. Both are pretty good starting points for developing your own rubs as they provide some discussion of the ingredients within the recipes.

Here are some internet forums that have rub recipes & discussions:

Fiesta Fajita Seasoning(from HEB) works for me ever time on my Baby Backs. Make sure to remove the membrane first. You might also coat them in mustard before seasoning. It will make a nice crust and won't taste like mustard assuming you are smoking the ribs.

I am still partial to stubbs, but like everything different stokes for different folks. But you are not going to screw up buying stubbs rub off the shelf at HEB. I am not big on the Fiesta rub either as some have mentioned.
 
Do you think the Fiesta seasoning is too salty ? I have thought that it may be too salty. Is the Stubbs rub salty ? I need to try some. I know their sauce is good.
