Fire’n up the smoker this weekend?  Try any of these rubs and you’ll take your BBQ from good to great!

Magic Dust

I had the opportunity to meet Mike Mills a few years ago and he is the ultimate guy’s guy.  I highly recomend you jump at the opportunity to eat at any of his restraunts across the country.  If nothing else, his recently published the book Peace, Love and Barbecue is a great read and has some excellent recipes including his infamous “Magic Dust”- the rub he used to become the only 3 time Grand World Champion at the Memphis in May competition.  This rub works wonders on pork butts, shoulders, or ribs

• 2 Tablespoons paprika
• 1 Tablespoon kosher salt, finely ground
• 1 Tablespoon sugar
• 1 Tablespoon chili powder
• 1 Tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 Tablespoon granulated garlic
• 1-1/2 teaspoons mustard powder
• 1-1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1-1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly.  Store in an airtight container.
