My current favorite is an all purpose seasoning called "Trail Dust" by Hi Mountain Seasonings. I found it at Gander Mountain.

The old standby around here is Tony Chachere's. But I have come to like Slap Ya Mama's and Bourque's Seasoning....these have no chili powder in them , Tony's has chili powder and there are times when I don't want chili powder in a dish....actually I keep all 3 in the pantry and like them all.

I don't use any kind of mix, I mix up spices that are specific to the dish I'm making.

Other than salt & pepper for general use we like Lawry's Seasoned Salt. For the Pork Butts I smoke I like "Bad Byron's Butt Rub". For Ribs, we use "Ragin River" from Dizzy Pig. John Henry's "Pecan Rub" is also good on Pork.

besides salt to taste, 'fresh' ground black pepper.

if higher heat is needed, I use either...
My own ground red pepper from roasted homegrown cayenne pepper
OR
Sriracha Hot chili sauce (aka: the red cock)

everything else is dish specific, I grow other herbs, like basil, rosemary, oregano, sage, mint, ect...

Johnny's seasoning salt. We also use a lemon pepper that has no salt. Garlic powder, never garlic salt. Montreal steak seasoning goes on anything that gets grilled.
I prefer a dash of green tabasco or tapatio when I use hot sauce.

I have a passion for cooking. I have used most of the "do it all" seasonings over the years, but I have ended up cooking with individual ingredients.
It may sound strange, but I have recently discovered ground ginger. Ginger adds something to almost anything you put it on. Not to be overdone, a little bit of this stuff will make almost any dish taste "fuller".
I sprinkled it on a butternut squash I cooked last night, it was wonderful.
Ginger is one of those understated flavors that is hard to detect, but it makes a dish inexplicably better. Its my secret weapon, and now I have let you in on the secret.

Funny...we use pretty much the same here !
Granulated garlic with no salt.
I do use red Tabasco on smoked oysters and sardines.
ALso use Tiger Sauce on occasion or Homemade Highbush cranberry catsup.

I vary, but here's the base: 2 parts salt, 2 parts paprika, 1 part black pepper, 1 part oregano, 1 part chili powder or cumin (whatever i have).

I will increase, add, or back off a little depending on what I am doing, or the audience.

I also keep Tony Chachere's in case I run out of blend above.

Wonder how many of you veterans wandered around some foreign clime with a bottle of Tabasco sauce stowed somewhere in your webgear or on your vehicle?

A few drops worked well on C-rations or whatever the messhall sent out.

Still do! I've also developed a habit of carrying a bottle of dry spices in the field as well after I had an 8oz bottle break on me during an exercise after a hard landing on a Landing Zone gave me a Tabasco stained kitbag and a sore hip...

Bad Byron's Butt Rub. Works on almost anything more or less. My turkey brine was kosher salt, sugar, Butt Rub, soy sauce, ground black pepper, crushed red pepper, celery seed, and butter.
Wood is Mesquite and apple, then hickory to finish.
