Fess up-do you freshly crack your black pepper for rubs or use the pre-ground stuff?
I don't mind cracking some, but to get enough to rub ribs or a butt with, I get pretty sore pretty quickly.
It's an obsession, but it's pleasin'

I usually make enough rub to last me a season, and leave the black pepper out (even if you grind it yourself, it'll be dust by the end of fall).If I want the black-pepper flavor on what I'm cooking, I grind just enough for that dish._____________

If the pepper is cooked heavily, I'll just use course grind from a jar. Everything else, I fresh grind.
You can do what Alton brown did - connect your drill to the pepper grinder and quickly grind large amounts of corns.

When I made pepper stout beef I used my coffee grinder and it worked really well. Not sure the coffee will taste the same though ...haven't used it for coffee since.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

We don't even have pre-ground in the house, I don't think. Grinding peppercorns and 12 oz. curls are pretty much my only exercise.[Northern] Virginia is for [meat] lovers.

If I'm using it as a stand-alone ingredient like on a rib roast or steaks or in a one-off application then I grind it. If it is in a mix like a rub then I don't grind.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

You know, this is a case of thinking too hard and not hard enough all at the same time. I have a spice grinder that I use for cumin, coriander, etc, but it didn't occur to me for peppercorns because I have a pepper grinder. Duh. *slaps forehead vigorously*It's an obsession, but it's pleasin'

For ground pepper I use a pepper mill or spice grinder. For cracked pepper, mortar and pestle.Hood Stars, Wrist Crowns and Obsession Dobs!

Take the top off and attach to a battery drill. Works great.

buy a coffee grinder for spices only....pepper corns specifically and make your own rubs, jmho

@nolaegghead, There is a Ginuwine song running through my head right now. Something about ponies and riding activities.
