Great! Can you help me with the recipe of barbecue dry rub. I usually used the one from Horton Spice Mills, but I didn’t find them where I live now. So I thought this time I would make it off by buying spices as a whole.

Dry Rub
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup paprika
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup ground black pepper
1 Tbsp. each garlic powder, onion powder,chili powder, cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
Mix in a covered container with lid. Shake well. Store in dry dark place in covered container.
