Essential Dry Rub For Ribs

• 8 ounces brown sugar
• 4 ounces kosher salt
• 2 ounces fresh ground pepper
• 1 ounce chili powder
• 1 ounce onion powder
• 1 ounce garlic powder
• 1 ounce ground cumin
• 1 ounce sweet paprika
• 1/2 ounce cayenne pepper

1. Combine ingredients in a shaker jar with lid.
2. Apply dry rub liberally to rinsed and dried baby back ribs (membrane removed of course) covering completely.
3. Refrigerate overnight.
4. Reserve any left over for up to 3 months in a sealed container.
5. For that real "wood cooked" barbecue flavor we recommend plank cooking the ribs.
6. Soak a cedar plank in water for at least 30 minutes; place on the grill over low or indirect heat.
7. Cook the ribs slow and low until they are tender.
