Have you ever stopped to think of how MUCH you pay for Blended Grilling Spices? I sure have! About a year ago I was on a QUEST to save a few pennies here and there. I stopped to think of what Household items or even Grocery items I might be able to rally to save money on .
One of the things, I found as I was making my list of cutbacks happened to be Blended Spices. How RIDICULOUS the amount was. I had to ask , “WHY, am I spending this on something I could DIY??”
So thus began the Saga of my Personal Hand Blending. It’s so SIMPLE and EASY to do. I can make batches as I see fit, as LARGE or SMALL as I like.

Absolutely! Before smoking add spice about 24 hours before and with any rub— use a GENEROUS AMOUNT !!! You are going to love it!!
Great idea! and definitely a money saver. I like making my own mixes especially those that are not often used, OR those you buy and you decided you didn’t like it. Thanks so much for sharing Devil’s Dust, I also love the name too.
