I have used this recipe twice. The only change I would make is to use only 1/8 cup of kosher salt. 1/2 cup is wayyyy too much salt. It over powers the rest of the flavors. When you reduce the salt you get a wonderful southwest sweet & spicy flavor.09/04/05

We use this rub all the time. It is also wonderful to use when smoking pork tenderloins or butts, chicken, and turkey. Store in airtight container and you'll have enough rub for several uses.07/15/05
