Cthulhu's World Famous(*) BBQ Ribs 'n' Chicken

Start with the rub -

1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup paprika
2 tablespoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder

Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a wire whisk ensuring that there are no clumps. Adjust amounts to taste. Makes about two cups.

Now for the meat -

1 or more racks of pork spareribs
Chicken thighs, as many as you like.

Trim excess fat from rack of pork ribs (trim off the brisket portion if you like, I usually leave it on), and trim excess skin and fat from chicken thighs.

Apply rub liberally to all outside surfaces of meat, marinate refrigerated, from 2-24 hours.

Smoke with the wood or charcoal of your choice at 225-250F until meat is done (185F measured with a thermometer). Rest and serve!

Expect spareribs to take up to 5-6 hours, baby backs will take less, maybe a lot less. Check every hour or so until they're close to done. Keep the heat as stable as you can.
