Here in KC, it's almost more about the rubs that people perfect. The most popular ones that I've found and have emulated are mostly paprika, with some salt, lots of black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and mustard powder. We mix all that up in a big shaker jar, but we don't sprinkle it on, we POUR it on, and rub it in to make a crust during smoking. I also love the different kinds of wood guys prefer to smoke with. I tend to stick to just hickory, such a traditional flavor. But oak seems to be the preferred wood of most of the pitmasters around here. We use a lot of cherry and applewood, too, to add a bit of sweetness. I use mesquite if I'm making something Southwestern, mainly because it sounds Southwestern?I did some salt pepper onion and garlic powder and baked 275 for 2 1/3 hrs in a pan covered with foil. Then put the BBQ sauce on and broiled uncovered to sticky up the sauce.... purists would be appalled but they are delicious
