I'm certainly as appreciate of hot and spicy as the next guy - I like my
eggs swimming in Tabasco, and I pretty much snort the wasabe at sushi
restaurants - but, for a little change of pace, are there any good, spicy
rubs that don't rely on mindless heat?

For pork there's Smoke&Spice's 'Sweet Sensation' rub
1/4 c Ground Allspice
1/4 c Brown sugar
1/4 c Onion powder
2 T Salt
2 t Ground Nutmeg
2 t Ground cinnamon
2 t Dried Thyme

it's a winner!

Heck there's dry mustard, 5 spice powder, allspice, cinammon all sorts of
non-heat spice. These guys talk about Old Bay being the main ingredient, I
use it as a part of in my rubs...

I would point out that *all* good, spicy rubs do not depend on mindless heat
<g>! At the risk of being excommunicated for suggesting a commercial
product, I find that Fire Roasted (the brand name) Chipotle dry rub is very
good. There is heat, but it comes from chipotleds which also add that lovely
smoky pepper flavor. If you want to make your own, starting with grounds
chipotles might be an idea.
