Sweet and Smoky BBQ Rib Rub Delight

1.In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, mustard powder, and ground cinnamon.

2.Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps from the brown sugar.

3.Taste the rub and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more cayenne for heat or more brown sugar for sweetness according to your preference.

4.Once mixed, transfer the rub to an airtight container or a spice jar for easy storage.

5.To use the rub, generously coat your ribs with the mixture, ensuring an even layer on all sides. For best results, let the ribs sit with the rub for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.

6.Preheat your grill or smoker to a low temperature (225°F to 250°F).

7.Place the ribs on the grill or smoker, bone side down, and cook for 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily.

8.During the last 30 minutes of cooking, you can brush your favorite BBQ sauce on the ribs for an extra layer of flavor, if desired.

9.Remove the ribs from the grill or smoker, let them rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
