Changed my mind. It's on. Just gonna have to tend the flame a little later into the evening than I wanted to originally.

2.5 tablespoons kosher salt (decreased the amount of salt)
4 tablespoons paprika
3 tablespoons coriander seeds
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons cracked black peppercorns
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper (added for additional peppery flavors)
2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
1 tablespoon white peppercorns
1 tablespoon dried minced onion (who doesn't like onion?)
1 teaspoon dried minced garlic (8 fresh cloves can be substituted) (substitude the dried for the fresh. Same effect, I'm told, and easier to work with in a dry rub.)
Into a food processor for 30 seconds to evenly mix.
