Basic American Barbecue Rub

Ingredients:
sugars, brown
spices, paprika
spices, pepper, black
salt, table
salt, table
spices, garlic powder
spices, onion powder
celery, raw
spices, pepper, red or cayenne

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to mix.
(Actually, your hands work better for mixing than a spoon or whisk does.
Use your fingers to break up any lumps of brown sugar.)
Store the rub in an airtight jar away from heat or light; it will keep for at least 6 months.
Use 2 to 3 teaspoons per pound of meat.
A 4-pound chicken will take 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons.
To make a spicier rub, substitute hot paprika for some or all of the sweet paprika.
