These are too good to keep to myself 
--enjoy!
The recipes came from a "best recipes from state fairs" book. BTW I have tried them all. My favorite is the Salmon recipe, then the Spicy BBQ sauce, the Brisket Marinade, then the chicken rub... all are GREAT! I did the Brisket marinade at a BBQ show and it was a thousand dollar show!
SUGAR SPICED ALASKAN SALMON RUB (this recipe makes enough rub for 24 servings; maybe cut it in half.)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ground Juniper Berries - you can order them online
http://www.a1spiceworld.com/juniper_berries.html
1 Tbsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1/2 cup kosher salt
Mix all dry ingredients. Pan fry Salmon with spritz of oil over medium heat, or bake on 350 degree stoneware until just finished. Sugar will carmelize; let it -it dissolves in hot water later. This is great on all fish! Don't overcook!
CHICKEN RUB
1 tsp salt
1 tsp onion salt
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp seasoned salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
Two 3-to 4-lb roasting chickens
Rub mixture all over chickens, cover & refrigerate 1 hour. Grill on rotisserie or over cone of stoneware fluted pan.
option to get awesome smoky flavor...
4 cups hickory, apple, or mesquite wood chips - soaked in water for 20-30 mins.
Place chips in bottom of stoneware fluted pan, place chicken on cone of fluted pan & roast 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours at 325. two chickens? One on roaster, one on a mini baker next to it with a beer bottle in the center to spike the chicken on. Yes, you can leave 1/2 the beer in the bottle to steam the chicken, too!
