I love Chile Rubs and this is a favourite of ours.  You can use any
dry and roasted chile you like ancho, chipotle, or Thai Roasted which
is my favourite.
chile for rubs.  This is great for grilled fruit, chicken, fish, etc.
I posted a Lemongrass skewered Shrimp with grilled pineapple and
Quinoa with saffran and this is perfect on that.

Mary-Anne's Chile Rub

1/2 cup  chile powder (Thai Roasted ground chiles)
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoon ground cumin
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

The Thai roasted Chiles are found in a plastic pint container at SE
Asian Markets.  It comes in two grinds-corae and fine which is what I
use for this rub-no seeds.  I buy whole spices, toast them in a dry
skillet, and grind.

This Red Chile Rub keeps for a couple of months in the refrigerator,
but we use it faster than that.
