Myron Mixon's Dry Rub Recipe for Ribs
BBQ like a 5-time world champion with this straight forward rib rub recipe used by Myron Mixon.
This is a sweet dry rub recipe that will go great on any type of ribs, as well as other cuts of pork (pork butt, pork shoulder, etc.). If you want more heat, increase the amount of cayenne pepper!
Note that the high sugar content in this rub will lend itself to a lower smoking temperature (225 - 250). Too much exposure to direct flame will caramelize your bark too quickly, leading to the potential for burn.

The Big Rib Energy Rib Rub and Sauce Box
5.0 out of 5 from 6 reviews.
Competition ribs get built in layers. The rub sets the bark, a light spritz keeps color building without washing it off, and the sauce only shows up in the last stretch so it sets instead of burning. This box has all three parts already matched.
- Heath Riles Competition BBQ Rub for the bark, plus Sweet Heat Seasoning by The Spice Guy.
- Two competition sauces: Southern Gal's by Old Southern BBQ and Riffs Smokehouse Voodoo Child.
- The spritz bottle and silicone mop brush for the parts of the cook most people skip.
- Two full rib recipes on the included card, with the timing written out.
