House Rub From 'Pitt Cue Co.: The Cookbook'

This fragrant, sweet, gently spicy dry rub makes several appearances in the pages ofPitt Cue Co.: The Cookbook. This week, we'll use it as the sole seasoning on their outstanding Beef Ribs and as a defining element in the wet rub for theWhole Spicy Smoked Roast Chicken. It makes a lot more than these recipes require, but trust me, you'll find plenty of uses for what's left over. (They say keep it for up to a week, but I think it should be fine for a month or more. And I would suggest uses a spice/coffee grinder for the spices instead of the blender they recommend.)
