May I substitute onion flakes for onion powder in a rub?

[dlcvaske]

Don't have onion powder on hand to make a rump roast rub, can I sub onion flakes?

I'd do it.

I do all the time. Just run them through a Coffee Grinder, Food Processor or Blender, to make them more granular...JJ

JJ has it!

Many of us have a cheap "coffee grinder" dedicated to our spices.

Good luck and good smoking.

We have a winner!!!!!  

Just use a blade type grinder and not a burr grinder.  Well, I guess a burr grinder would work, but I don't think you could ever use it for coffee again (and burr grinders are usually way more expensive than blade)

Morter and pistle or muddler and heavy drinking glass might do it too.
