Ingredients
- 3 to 4 pounds spare ribs
- 4 ounces Neely’s Seasoning Mix, recipe follows
- 8 ounces paprika
- 4 ounces sugar
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
Instructions
- Trim the spare ribs, removing the upper brisket bone and any excess fat; this will produce a St. Louis-style rib. Rinse the ribs and season with Neely’s Seasoning, and then cover and refrigerate for 4 to 12 hours.
- Indirect cooking in a barbecue pit is recommended to prevent burning. Cook at 250 degrees F (curled side of ribs facing up) for the first 3 hours, and then increase the temperature to 300 degrees F for the final 3 hours. Sprinkle the ribs with Neely’s Seasoning Mix during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.

Reviews
After the ribs were cooked I tasted it and thought, I know what the reviewers are talking about now. I tried one of the pieces w/too much rub on it. I wanted to taste the rib with just the rub, to see what it tasted like w/out sauce. I also tasted the ribs w/sauce on them and they were just great. I now know I put too much rub on the one end piece. but after coating it w/sauce, the taste seemed to mellow in the fridge the next day and the end piece was just fine. The other ribs with a moderate amount of rub on them were great from the start with or without sauce. Just use a light-medium hand when applying the rub and they will turn out great, esp when used w/the sauce. The sauce really makes the ribs special.
We use this rub not only for ribs but for poultry as well. We love it!
