WILD BILL'S DRY MEAT RUB

INGREDIENTS: 

3/4 cup paprika                           1/4 cup ground black pepper
1/4 cup salt                                  1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder           2 tablespoons onion powder
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper*     1 tablespoon garlic powder

Mix spices in a bowl and store in airtight container in a cool dark place. *I use 90K heat rating of cayenne pepper; most stores carry only 35K therefore  you might want to increase the cayenne pepper to 2 tablespoons (to taste).
