Kansas City Barbecue Dry Rub Recipe

An excellent dry rub for use on pork shoulder, baby back ribs, St. Louis ribs and much more.
This recipe is my adaptation of a recipe by Steve Raichlen in his book, Barbecue Bible Sauces Rubs and Marinades, Bastes, Butters and Glazes (What a title?). Steve, in turn, was given the recipe by the Kansas City Barbecue Society. I have modified it for my tastes.
