    But is there an easy way to convert the "cups" to "tbsp"s?
    So I can maybe make less, but keep the same ratio...
    Thanks a ton to anybody who can help me out!
    Sincerely,
    RicklesssssssssS in Oregon

    PS Though I didn't actually try it, I had to "rate it" to post this, and I didn't want to ruin the results. (so 5 stars...

    Best Rub I have ever tasted. The Black Magic goes perfectly on everything as well. I put it on chicken, veggies, everything and it rocks!

    I'm a BBQ fanatic, and I've tried many different rubs - Dizzy Pig, Bad Byron, John Henry (all good, btw, different ones from food network - I kind of collect them. This recipe is the best I have found. I substituted tablepoons for cups, and that was just the right amount for 2 racks of ribs. I used turbinado sugar for the sugar - it doesn't burn as quickly, and lots of BBQ guys swear by it. I tried this rub recipe right along side some Bad Byron's. I put the rub on pretty heavy, and when I sauced the Bad Byron's, I just added a bit more dry rub to the 2 racks with Marlowe's. I ate them Memphis style - no sauce, and they were the best ribs I ever made (and I've made ribs well over 100 times. Even my 8 year old son said they were the best ribs I ever made. I will definately make this rub again - it is now the standard by which I will judge other rubs.

    p.s. The Black Magic is pretty HOT - a bit too hot for me, but it works nicely in the rub - don't let it scare you!

    Used rub on ribs and chicken. Excellent tasting rub, in my opinion can't go wrong. I am a firm believer now in using rubs on ribs. Complements BBQ sauce well.

    We tried this rub yesterday and the ribs were the best we have ever eaten, hands down! No restaurant here could match them! We coated the ribs and left in the fridge for about 2 hours. I cut back on the cayenne and salt (just our taste preference and adjusted the "cups" size down to tablespoons. The ribs smoked for about 4 hours, using hickory. I can't wait to try this on poultry or fish.

    Mixed this up and used on chicken for the bbq. It is excellent when applied the night before grilling, letting the flavor get down into the chicken. One of the best I have tried here in the great state of TN!!
