Use Spice Mill for Rub?

[Sonny Jordan]

Does anyone use a spice grinder mill when you make your rub? I haven't in the past, but thinking about it.

Thanks,
Sonny

I use either a small electric coffee bean grinder (the kind with the spinning blades) which I've dedicated to spices or, if I'm grinding a large quantity a burr grinder. Most spices I briefly toast first, cool, then grind.

Ive only grinded black pepper but I just use my everyday coffee grinder. Before I start I throw in some uncooked rice and grind it. This cleans the entire inside of the grinder spotless. Then I grind the pepper, or whatever spice you want, then repeat the rice step. Never get a hint of either the coffee or the spices.

Jim,

Everyone I know who grinds has a dedicated spice grinder b/c of the flavor left in. So rice cleans it out, huh? I'll have to pass the little bit of info on. Thanks
