Red Rub

Cookbooks from "joy" to "weber" seem to have magical spice rubs for every piece of meat you could possibly put on a grill.  In the past I used to seek out new and exciting rubs to try.  however, when cleaning out my spice cabinet i realized the mass amount of waste/expense of trying all these rubs and my basic spice pantry is pretty thorough.  All of this information led me to try my own rubs and see if i could create something the family would like and not brake the bank.  "spice classics" offer decently price seasonings that allow you to buy numerous bottles for the price of just one small spice jar of other brands.  Also, I have lived my life with Lawrys season salt and have it around at all times this is how i used it with some "spice classics" to create my "red rub" I use on grilled pork.

1 tblspn  Lwry's season salt
1 tblspn  chili powder
1 tblspn  paprika

(add cayenne pepper if you want it really spicy, depending on the cayenne, it may not take much)

mix and apply over entire pork loin sear and then cook on indirect till reaches your desired inside temp.
I have now tried this with a beef chuck roast and it was not nearly as good as it was on Pork.
