Butt rub
 

I'm brewin' and Q-in' this weekend. I've got an 8# pork butt I'm going to smoke this weekend and I'd like to get a great recipe for a dry rub for it.

Anyone care to share their BBQ rub recipe?

I'll be smoking it in my WSM over lump, if that matters.

Thanks for the 411...

I use this one all the time and love it. Be sure to make the carolina red sauce as well!

Get a good bun, put the butt down, a scoop of coleslaw on top of the meat then some of the red sauce and then the bun, doesn't get any better then that.

Oh and for butt pulling I got tired of using a fork or my hands and got some of these off ebay, they work well and were not expensive.

That looks beautiful! Is the end product spicy (hot)? 1/4 pepper and cayenne? I would love it but my kids are young and wont eat food if it is the slightest bit hot. They loved the first pork picnic I smoked but didnt use a spicy rub.

I'm going to order a pair of those bear claws. Looks like an essential bbq luxury!

I have 3 kids the bark is a bit spicy but when you shred it up it all gets mixed in so you never really get a big bite of spice. I always just pick out the bark for them, my kids eat that carolina red sauce on everything now, they love it. Really makes the pork butt.

Plus its your fault, you were rubbing my butt
I'm very sensitive, some would say that's a plus

See the bark is all mixed in so you get the tastiness of it without much of the spiciness.

My heathen friend doesn't put the coleslaw on the sandwich but here is the end product. Those baked beans are the best ever I can put the recipe up if you are interested.

Uh, yes please (on the beans recipe).

Do you slather with yellow before rubbing?

I leave out the heat for my kids. But these always get rave reviews from my friends and family, they are always a hit

Keri's Hog-Apple Baked Beans

3 or 4 slices bacon, diced
2 (16 oz) cans pork and beans, mostly drained (modified to 2 28-oz cans Bush's Baked Beans - see note below)
1/2 c. Blues Hog BBQ Sauce (or other sweet-spicy favorite)
1 lb. smoked leftover smoked pork or beef, more or less, or 1 lb crumbled cooked pork sausage
1 can apple pie filling (chop up the big chunks some)
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. Mustard (prepared)
1 tsp chipotle or cayenne powder (optional, to taste*)
1 tsp Blues Hog barbecue rub (or your favorite de jour)

Brown bacon, and saute onion and green pepper in bacon grease. Mix in remaining ingredients. Bake at 325º for 1 hour, or simmer on stovetop in large pot for 30 minutes if you don't have time to do them in the oven. Serves 12.


*This is a rather spicy recipe due to the chipotle/cayenne powder. Feel free to leave it out if you'll be feeding those who prefer a less spicy taste.

Paging Phil.

Phil's pretty damn good at butt, as I understand it.

Naw I always skip the yellow.

Do you mop? I cooked a 10# picnic last weekend and rubbed it the night before put it on for 12 hours turning once and otherwise didnt touch it and it was to die for.

I'll try this recipe, and make the carolina red. Just wondering if you mop with sop?
