Lotta Bull BBQ Red Dirt Championship BBQ Seasoning:

2/3 cup salt

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup garlic salt

1/3 cup smoked paprika

8 teaspoons brown sugar

4 teaspoons cracked black pepper

Used the rub recipe yesterday for the first time on Baby Back ribs. I used a fair amount of rub and let the rack sit for at room temperature for about 45 minutes. I don't have a smoker, so I put a good sear on from my grill and then baked in the oven on 200-250 for about 2 hours. I did lightly brush with BBQ sauce, but quite honestly I don't think the meat needed it. Outstandinn rub! Next time sauce on the side.
