My mom is the same way, and she insists on not using brown sugar in her ribs. As a result, her bbq is often dry, salty, acrid, and too smoky.

You don't need brown sugar to make sweet meat. Brown sugar is used to balance out the flavors of the salt, the smoke, the pepper, and it ties all the aromatics together. Sugar is also what develops the "bark", or the outer char on smoked meat. You should incorporate brown sugar into your rub because the best rubs won't taste sweet, but the worst ones won't have sugar.

Get it?

Start with salt, then mix about 1/5 of your salt quantity as dark brown sugar. Then build from there with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and fresh ground pepper. I've never measured my rubs, but have always started with salt & sugar. None of my BBQ is ever sweet.

1 cup season salt
1 tablespoon fresh cracked pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon chipotle powder
1 tablespoon dry mustard
add cayenne to suite your level of heat

Simple but good.

What TAFKAP said is very true with the sugar. You really need to use some.

pick 1 & add or subtract any thing you might not want in it.

Kinda mixed my own rub up. I used sea salt Tony's garlic powder and garlic salt then came back and added pepparika and then the last fifteen minutes in the smoker added a touch if Stubbs BBQ sauce. They turned out very tender and I had a hard time picking them up bc the literally fell off the bone. I also bought some bkw BBQ rub and used on the kther half of rack and a chicken. Pretty good stuff
