Bam's BBQ has given us a good selection of rubs over time. Maybe take a look here.

I use his basic rub a lot and add some spices that I think might go with what I am cooking. Fish, beef, chicken, etc.

I prefer smoked paprika..but if you don't have it, not to worry. Pick up some next time you shop..you'll like it.

Try adding lemon zest to the recipe you posted.

Kim, do you want a barbecue-flavored rub? If so, the one you have should include some salt - equal parts with the sugar. I like cumin in it, too, maybe 1 teas. in your recipe.

Also, for me, the black pepper and cayenne ratios are pretty heavy for the rest of the ingredients - I don't like it nearly as hot, so I would cut back on both.
