Rub (or sauce) for Pork Ribs

First off, let me say that I'm not a big fan of some of the sweeter
types of barbeque. I lived in a tiny town in North Carolina for quite
some time, and the barbeque at a local joint tended towards the
piquant, and that's just the way I grew to like it.

Does anyone have a simple rub or perhaps a "last 10 minutes of
cooking" sauce for Pork Ribs that shies away from the sweet? Spicy
and Sour are plusses. Honey and Sugar need not apply (unless added
more for texture than taste).

Thanks,

Not a totally dry rub but good - Small amount of fresh garlic creamed into
sea salt, black pepper, hot pepper powder (whichever you prefer - cayenne is
good, I prefer dried habanero, or even a smoked hot pepper powder/pepper
powder blended with Spanish smoked paprika.), and onion powder. A squirt of
lime juice would go well IMO.Just don't make it too wet!

Another one that I like that is a dry rub is onion powder, tomato powder
(when I can find it!), 'chilli' powder (the 'blend' kind for making chilli
that has some ground cumin and maybe oregano powder in already), sea salt.

Honest, the sugar doesn't make this rub sweet.

BBQ Rib Rub

1/4 C brown sugar
2 1/2 T garlic powder
1/4 C paprika
1 T onion powder
1 T chili powder
1 1/2 t cayenne pepper
1 T black pepper
3/4 t oregano
1/2 t cumin
1 T salt

Combine spices and store in an airtight container until ready to use.

For ribs, rub well with spice mixture, wrap in plastic and refrigerate
several hours up to overnight.

Grill over low heat 2-3 hours.

This might be what you are looking for,

North Carolina Rub & Sauce

RUB
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Black pepper
2 tsp Brown sugar
1 tsp Cayenne pepper
2 tsp Cumin
1/4 Cup Paprika
2 tsp Chile powder

SAUCE
1 Cup White vinegar
1 tbs Red pepper flakes
1 Cup Cider vinegar
1 tbs Tabasco
1 tbs Sugar
1 tbs Black pepper

Or maybe this sauce is up your alley,

South Carolina Mustard Barbecue Sauce

1 cup cider vinegar
2/3 cup prepared yellow mustard
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp butter

Combine everything but the butter in a saucepan and bring to a bubbling boil
over med heat. Simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter.

I have tried both of these sauces and the rub, I didn't find them to be too
sweet. Good Luck.
