Cinnamon rub

[newqreview]

Smoking a rack of St. Louis today using Jeff’s naked rib rub. Realized I need to make some more rub and turns out I’m low on Paprika. Didn’t feel like going to the store so I subbed in more than a 1/4 cup of cinnamon. At 2.5 hours now and just sprayed with orange juice. (Out of apple juice too lol) tasted a piece of the trimmings. This might be a keeper!

I use cinnamon in my sweet heat rub rub but sparingly. 1/4 cup in how much total rub?

Trial and error can produce some great ideas but can also not.
Waiting for final taste results.

Depends on the quality, type and freshness of the cinnamon or any such spice- nutmeg, allspice, ginger powder. All wonderful! but need to work those up if unknown quality or strength. For example I use Saigon cinnamon which has 1-5% essential oil in content and 25% cinnamaldehyde in essential oil, which is the highest of all the cinnamon species.

Jeff's rub has enough sugar to defeat a lot of spices.

Saigon cinnamon is not my liking.
I prefer Ceylon for the earthy (savory) flavors
