Does anybody hav great dry rub to put on Boston butt before smoking? I have smoked about 4 Over last 2-3 months and gotten most advice off line - my first was a flop (too much smoke) but the rest have been good. Just tying to learn! Thanks

Byron's butt rub is what I use.

I mix up my own rub. I dont really measure anything but this is what is in it with guess on amounts

Brown sugar 2 cups
white sugar 1 cup
black pepper 1/4 cup
salt 1/4 cup
garlic powder 4 tbsp
onion powder 4 tbsp
chili powder 2 tbsp
ground coffee 2 tbsp
smoked paprika 4 tbsp
cumin 1 tsp
dry mustard 1 tsp
cayenne pepper 1 tbsp

I rub mine down with just regular mustard so the rub adheres to the meat better. If you are smoking on a BGE, I dont add any extra wood chips but if you want a little extra smoke flavor I would go with Apple or Pecan wood. But dont put your meat on there until it has smoked for a bit or it will be bitter.

Byrons is great and I really like the sound of muzzies recipe. I normally use Pilleteri’s Butt Rub

Muzzie's is basically what I do, but don't use sugar.

Garlic, onion, paprika, salt and pepper are a good base for any rub.

Yeap

I don’t put anything on a Boston butt.

I roll my own similar to muzzie

The. I coat with mustard, put dry rub on, wrap in saran wrap, and put in fridge overnight before cooking

You serious Clark?

salt, garlic salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, pepper. On beef like a brisket, I just do salt and pepper, heavier on the pepper.

Always use Byron's but the key to a good butt IMO is some type of vinegar and salt mixture to put on it once its pulled or chopped

n2turkeys has it figured out. Dont need nothing but some hickory smoke. Ill run some apple cider vinegar on it as it smokes. Dont be scared to try mayonaise instead of traditional bbq sauce

apple cider vinegar, redhot, sugar, mixture is what i use to mix into the meat when i pull it. 1 cup apple cider, 1/2 cup redhot, 1/4 cup sugar. whisk together in bowl

Emeralds rib rub + byrons but rub + brown sugar in equal parts = yum. Do not wrap the butt

Yep. It’s not needed.

I make a rub with 12 different ingredients. Good on pork and poultry. Different rub for beef.

Great stuff - good to hear - did not know about Byrons and I will look into that on future shoulders. I thought not much Put on it and the Butt would still be good if meat quality good. What I had recently smoked was close to Muzzie and I did cover in mustard spread but I did not use coffee - smoked paprika or dry mustard but used the other stuff u said. I looked on line last night and Hey Grill Hey was saying basically most of what Muzzie was saying. I just purchased the ground mustard and paprika because I could not find the smoked paprika. Where did you get the smoke paprika Muzzie? Thanks - Great info guys!!
