Cinnamon

Has anyone tried putting cinnamon in a rub for pork? I'm wondering how it would perform in the smoke, whether it would become bitter.

I have used cinamon quite a bit, especially when doing an spiral cut loin stuffed with apples, cinnamon and feta cheese. It is a great taset for the pork. BUT!!!!! you need to be really careful on how much you put in rubs and whatnot because it is a very overpowering seasoning.

With Alien's Hurricane Turkey, the entire bird is literally doused in cinnammin cinamin cinammin? and there is hardly any taste of it after cooking. It does still smell a little bit, but taste is very mild.

Yea all the thyme.
No really, cinnamon and pork go together very well.
Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, mace all go well (in moderation) and
are completed by grilling or smoking.

Here is what I use on pork. It has cinnamon in it, but only a small amount. I added it last in small increments until I could jus barely taste it. It is an interesting flavor, but I can see where too much could be a bad thing.

1 cup turbinado sugar
1/4 cup sea salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup chilli powder
1/4 cup garlic powder
1/8 cup onion powder
1/8 cup mexican oregano
2 tbs smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp crushed rosemary
1/2 tsp chipotle powder
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp cinnamon
