Ingredients

• :
• One-quarter cup brown sugar
• One-quarter cup sweet paprika
• 2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp mustard powder
• One-half teaspoon powdered cayenne
• The rub will keep longer if the brown sugar is dried before it's mixed with the other ingredients. Spread it on a cookie sheet and let it air dry overnight. Combine the ingredients and store in an airtight container until used. To add more bite to the rub use hot paprika.
• Season your pork rib slab (a Kansas City Style slab, of course) with a generous amount of the Kansas City rib rub a couple of hours before it hits the smoker. I let the slabs rest at room temperature during that time. That gives them a head start so they finish smoking a little sooner than if they started out cold.
• And don't forget to make a batch of Kansas City style bbq sauce while those ribs are a smokin'.
