Tips for Making a Dry Rub:

Using fresh, quality spices will definitely make a difference in flavor. I use Spiceology for all of my spices. They are available to order online through their store or conveniently through Amazon.

Store your dry rubs and spice mixes in airtight containers. I like these plastic deli containers or Weck Jars, which are easy to measure from.
