This is my GoTo and popular with other folks around here, followed by a couple others. All are adjustable to your taste. Add sugar for more sweet or reduce the heat...JJ

1C Tubinado or Dried Brown Sugar*

1/4C Paprika**

2T Kosher Salt

2T Mustard Powder

2T Chili Powder

2tsp Black Pepper

1-2tsp Cayenne

2tsp Dry Oregano

2tsp Dry Thyme

2tsp Cry Celery Flakes

1tsp Celery Seed

Grind the Oregano, Thyme, Celery Flake and Seed. Mix all and store in air tight container, up to 3 months...

Notes...* Leave out the Sugar for a Cajun Blackening Spice.Spinkle a lot or a little, on whatever meat, dip in melted Butter or Olive oil and saute in a very hot pan until cooked to your desired IT.

** If you wish you can use Smoked Paprika in the recipe. This will give a seasoning that will add some "Smokey flavor" to Grilled, Sauteed, Fried or Roasted meat, not just stuff you smoke.

Mix and store in an air tight container...JJ

Hi there and welcome!

I don't get to do both sweet and spicy because others cry about it lol. I like simplicity so when I DO get to do sweet and spicy I like to do Salt, Pepper, Onion, Garlic (SPOG) and Kashmiri Red Pepper!!! I smoke without sauce and then add a good BBQ sauce at the table or on my plate which will take care of the sweet component.

If you can find Kashmiri Red Pepper (Indian or Indo/Pak grocery store likely has it) it is kind like a spicy Paprika. To me it is like if Cayenne and Paprika had a baby so the flavor is great and you get some heat!

Again I usually go simple and then add from there. I often find that I don't have to stray too far from simplicity to get to amazing :)

Have u tried (chicken and rib) rub from Weber? It’s super good. More sweet tho and I could add your heat. Walmart’s are out of them tho. I’ve seen them at park rose hardware but a lot more spendy
