Hickory BBQ Seasoning

I grabbed this for weeknight steaks on my gas grill and the hickory comes through way more than I expected from a shaker. It's got a nice balance of sweet and salt, nothing overpowering, and it worked great on a cast iron pan when it was too cold to grill outside.

I used this as a dry rub on steaks cooked on my gas grill and got a nice hickory smoke flavor without needing wood chips. The sweet and hickory balance is spot on, though I dialed back the salt on my second batch.

We grilled ribeyes on a gas grill and the hickory really came through, like the steaks had been over coals for hours. The smoky-sweet crust it left behind was the best part, and I've already used it as a base for a dry rub on pork chops.
