This is not mine, unfortunately I didn't note where I found it. If it
came from RFC, my apologies, because it's an excellent mixture. Most
of the ingredients are what you'd normally expect to find in a rub,
but the ground coriander makes it special.

Basic BBQ Rub

2T cup salt (non-iodized)
3 Tbs Brown Sugar
2 Tbs Black Pepper (coarse)
1 Tbs. Garlic (granulated)
1 Tbs. Paprika (smoked paprika optional)
1 Tbs. Coriander Powder
1 Tsp. Onion Powder
1 Tsp. ground Cumin
1 Tsp. Cayenne
