I use this rub for pork chops. I use the rib or center cut, natural (never artificially tenderized!) chops. It's my own invention, but tweak it to your taste.

For 6 chops:
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Ground pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon each ground rosemary, poultry seasoning, thyme

Rub the chops on both sides. Allow to marinate one to three hours. Grill over medium heat.
