Basic Barbecue Rub

This is adapted from a rub by Steven Raichlen in his book "Sauces Rubs & Marinades." It can be used on beef, pork, chicken and fish like salmon. It can be used at once or, rubbed into the protein and marinated to add depth to the flavors. The basic formula can be used as a starting point and enhanced to accomodate various ethnic cuisines. It makes about 1 cup and stores well in a dark dry environment.
