Dry Rub for Smoked Pork Roast

Chief Jack's Note:

In the several years since I first posted this, I've been playing with balancing the Cayenne against a good quality Hungarian HOT Paprika and dried ground Thai hot chilies. The Cayenne bites the front of the tongue, the Hungarian warms the middle and the Thai glows down the throat. I’ve changed the original recipe by replacing the sweet paprika with Hot Hungarian and ground Thai. I’m not a fan of blowing the top of your head off, but I do like a WARM GLOW all the way down! This NEW and IMPROVED blend does the job! Pack on as much as will stick to the roast.

I love this rub but I've made a few changes using habaneros instead of Thai chili peppers and throwing in a few other favorite flavors. Be prepared for a lovely gooey mess when you let this sit on your meat overnight. This best used for smoking and not grilling as the brown sugar will burn if your grill the meat.
