Thread: What's your favorite Boston Butt dry rub?

I always have the ingredients around, so I usually make my own. I did try an applewood rub, I think it's McCormick and it was pretty good.

Fat Boy Sweet Natural rub.

Emeril's Essence on my butt

try injecting with pineapple juice. Is real good. Then i spray the outside with it then apply rub.

I stopped using a pre-made dry rub on boston butts. I coat the entire butt with a whole lot of yellow mustard, season with coarse kosher salt and coarse black pepper, then pat on dark yellow brown sugar as thick as you can get it. After about ten hours on the smoker there is absolutely zero taste of mustard and that brown sugar caramelizes into a bark.

For chops and chicken we like Big Kevin's Bayou Blend.

I usually make my own using black pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, everglades seasoning, natures seasoning, dry mustard, lemon pepper, paprika, basil, thyme and double all that with brown sugar. Inject Raspberry Vinaigrette then rub and wrap tight in cling wrap overnight and then another rub about an hour before cooking.

I know the purist suggest you shouldn't inject but I use a mixture of apple juice, Lea and Perrins, salt, and water. I periodically use different rubs but my favorite is called Dizzy Dust.
