For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the spice rub. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, a small bowl and the back of a spoon will work just fine. Adjust the amount of brown sugar in the sauce to suit your preferred level of sweetness. Feel free to add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the BBQ sauce for a spicy kick. For a deeper smoky flavor, use wood chips like hickory or mesquite during the grilling process.
