Ditch the sugar and molasses. Get with the famous Kansas City Dry Rub. This usually is made up of coarse black pepper, paprika, garlic salt and a few other spices, applied to the ribs a couple days prior to hitting the grill.
Try it for a nice change from the goop !

I prefer the Rendevous dry ribs from Memphis, and I make all my own rubs and sauces. My desk is soaked from drool.
