Courtesy of my cooking hero, Alton Brown, I took this recipe from one of his shows and adapted it. It is a wonderful balance of tangy, sweet heat.

8 tablespoons light brown sugar, tightly packed
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon rubbed thyme
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves or allspice

Rubbed both sides of a rack of ribs, cooked it in the oven for 3.5 hours at 300 degrees.

Thanks, David. Wish it was mine. Emeril's recipe off food network. Very close to the one you are using, for sure. Both are easily adaptable and easy to make! Yours seems simpler and probably much faster to make! The Old Bay is very interesting! Will have to try it in my next batch!
