I use this all-purpose BBQ Rub for everything from slow-smoked pork shoulders, to ribs, for seasoning burgers and chicken pieces or adding flavor to veggie kabobs.

Ingredients
- ¼ cup sweet paprika
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt we used Diamond Crystal (if using Morton's Kosher Salt scale back to 2¼ tablespoons)
- 1 tablespoon Smoked Salt
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons beer powder optional
- 2 teaspoons celery seed (do not substitute celery salt)
- 1½ teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes can substitute 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
FOR THE BBQ RUB:
- In a medium bowl, combine the paprika, brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, smoked salt, garlic powder, onion powder, beer powder (if using), celery seed and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Use your clean hands to mix and blend the BBQ rub, breaking up clumps between your fingers. Continue mixing until evenly combined.
- Use a funnel to transfer the BBQ rub to a glass jar and seal the lid tightly. Store in a cool, dark spot (like your pantry). Makes 1 cup of BBQ rub.

Notes
- The rub seasoning can be kept for up to two to three months in a sealed jar in the pantry.
