I've been looking for a must have list of herbs and spices to use but am finding it hard to come by. My wife and I are big into food storage and this is the next item up. Any takers? I'm not looking for bare minimum, we have that, I want to have a good list of herbs and spices that will continue to make BBQ and cooking fun.
Thanks!

Herbs and Stuff:

I believe it's Elizabeth Carmel who lists an assortment of spices in one section of one of her books, suggesting what to try in rubs. If I get a minute someday, I'll check on it!
Penzey's spices has 2 really impressive spice stores here in town, one at Tatum and Shea, the other in Tempe. Go to their website to look at a variety of names of spices you may not have heard of.
I have Tony Chachere's Spice 'n' Herbs seasoning, not as harsh as his original Creole.
Did they mention Habanero? Or Bacon?

Thanks, I'm sure this will more than get me started. Appreciate all of you taking the time to help out a newcomer!

Are you looking for just traditional bbq spices? or also for grilling? International flavors?
One thing I would add to bbq is celery seed or celery salt and cumin. I also keep on hand allspice, coriander, tumeric, marjoram, savory, chervil, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, juniper berries, kafir lime leaves, beef, chicken, chicken/tomato and veg bullion or soup base. madras curry powder, garam masala, star anise, five spice, fennel seed, fenugreek. Dried NM, de arbol, chipotle, and pasilla chiles for grinding. I also have cavender's greek seasoning and morton's nature's seasons seasoning salt in addition to the tony's and lawry's (generic sam's version). Also an array of hot sauces both foreign and domestic.

You said you were real big in food storage. Are you wanting to keep spices for long periods of time in storage? If so I recommend keeping as many whole spices as you can, peppercorns, allspice berries, coriander seeds, etc. Grounds spices lose intensity after some time and won't be as good later.

I recommend exploring ethnic groceries. Almost every culture puts meat to fire. At Asian markets you'll find Korean BBQ sauces and marinades, Thai sweet chile sauce, Hawaiian BBQ rubs, Chinese char sui for bright red ribs and pork, plus Japanese teriyaki. Hispanic markets carry Mexican rubs for meat and poultry and Cuban mojo criollo marinades, not to mention a wide variety of dried chiles. Middle eastern markets have shawarma seasoning to make kebabs and killer spicy harissa paste. Indian markets have tandoor spices perfect for BBQ, not to mention great flatbread to wrap them meat in to eat! German markets carry curry ketchup that's great on any kind of sausages which you can also buy there. The list goes on and on. You just have to step outside your comfort zone and explore something new. It's a great big world out there. Eat it! ;D
