Famous Dave's Rib Rub

I am not sure how much rub I should be putting on ribs? I got 9 pounds of baby back ribs, 3 racks and put about 2/3s of one bottle on all three under side and top side.
 
That doesn't sound unreasonable. I like to load my rub on pretty heavy. Otherwise it can get lost in the smoke flavor sometimes.
 
My wife can't eat real hot foods so I have to keep everything fairly mild. I see this has habenero in it. Is it real hot?
 
It has been several years since I have used this rub. But from my memory, it was really good and I don't think it was that spicy. And I do not like things that hurt me. ;) Life is too short to eat things that burn my mouth and make beads of sweat run down my head.

I know Divot uses this quite a bit still, so I am guessing he will chime in at some point.

Not unusual at all.  I use almost a full bottle for 3 racks.  That's why I buy the 6 bottle deal on Amazon!

No, not overwhelmingly hot at all.  I think it's a pretty good blend of sweet and sassy, but won't make you break out in a sweat!
 
Ed, I have had Memphis Dust on my list to try. I use Jeffs secret rub on everything and have used it for years. But now with the SI I would like to experiment with some others. Seems like the SI brings out the creativity in all of us.
 
I tried the unsalted version of Memphis Dust, on a brined pork butt, and wasn't impressed.  It's just too bland for my taste (and the family agreed).  I'll stick with Dave's, or Jeff Phillip's rub.  I may even come up with my own version! ;)
 
Well I couldn't get Daves Rub at Walmart. They don't carry it. Since everyone likes it so much I might just buy it online. I will still try Memohis Dust as well. I am with you Tony. I like to taste the rub in the bark. Not just salt and sugar, but the blended spices. Let's see what you can come up with Tony. I for one will try it.
 
Tony, if you can handle the cayenne and chili powder memphis dust is not for you.  My family likesthe memphis dust.

I do like famous dave's rib rub. Not spicy imo at all.
 
Ed, the Memphis Dust has a great flavor profile, but if I try it again, I'm gonna have to "kick it up a notch," as Emeril says! ;)
 
I really like Memphis Dust on my ribs but just not enough flavor for pulled pork or pork loin. I stick with Famous Dave's for those. I did pick up a new Butt rub that will try soon, it's called Excalibur Butt Rub Kansas City style.
