Thanks for the input. One reason for asking was that I would rather make my own rubs than buy a rub. Most have sugar and wifee is on Keto. I try to avoid sugar as much as possible.Marshall in Beautiful Fruit Cove, FL.

It's just that (a) I very much DO notice that they're not as good after a while, and I have to replace them, and almost all of them are things I bought because I was going to use them. But of course after I use them, I still have some left over, so they build up.
But again, because I absolutely do experience them not being as good after a while, I just wanted to warn someone against just buying stuff because someone recommended it for a well balanced spice rack, but only to buy them if he's going to use them pretty soon. -
While not absolutely necessary....celery seed is the secret ingredient in my bbq rub. It’s super strong so a very little bit does the trick.

fresh spices...then cook the bejesus out of them, might have well been a year old. Aromatics oxidize with age or evaporate on a low and slow. there are some tricks from this old chemist. but you can't do that much with a slab of meat cooked 12 hrs insofar as aromatics unless you spice late or have fat or use a shitloadd. With technical cooking in the kitchen it's much more important and interesting. BBQ is pretty much a salt, sugar, sour bitter smoke thing with texture fat, bla bla bla.

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself.
