1/8 Cup Hickory Salt
1/8 Cup Celery Seed
¼ Cup Paprika
1/8 Cup Red Pepper
¼ Cup Onion Salt
¼ Cup Garlic Powder
½ Cup Lawry Season Salt
½ Cup Brown Sugar

Add dried peppers to taste. Whatever is on hand.

Blend to a fine powder.

Let us know how it turns out. Haven't heard of Cumin being used, but will look into it. A lot of pepper, salt and sugar used here though. I'm not crazy about all the sugar and salt.

They called it a simple rub. I haveto admit I don't know what is real Texas. I'll have to follow your lead on that. I did mix up some kind of rub based on your list above. I used what I had in the house. Put that on the burnt ends. It didn't have very much cunin or sugar in it and I used sea salt. Iit did have a lot of fresh ground pepper. I didn't know if I should cover the burnt ends with foil to keep cooking?
