What are the basic ingredients and amounts for a good dry rub?

Here is a site with a bunch
Sometimes I use a combination of recipes to come up with my own

I make my rub with about half a cup of brown sugar, 1/4ish cups of paprika, a lot of pepper and lot of garlic powder and a pinch of salt.

Not fancy, but we love the way it comes out. Just be careful with the flame... the brown sugar will scorch.

That sounds good stevecg... that sounds like a lot of paprika but I never really measure it out when I do it.

I also add a good 2 tablespoons of chili powder and 1 of celery salt

I don't measure either. I just keep mixing until its red. Im guessing that's about how much it is. Might be a hair less.

Good call on the chili powder. Ive tried a bit of cayenne before. The kids didn't like the extra spice though.

Where do you get such large amounts of spices, and cheap enough?

Paprika isn't expensive. I think I got a big bottle at Walmart for under $2. The rest are reasonable amounts.
