I'm doing my first pork butt tomorrow. I want to thank everyone here, because I've read info from here forthe process on how to do it.

Rub: White sugar, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, salt, cumin.

Trimmed the roast, slathered it with yellow mustard, and applied rub liberally.

Very excited for this!

I will not be using the Texas Crutch. I want to get through the stall and have a good bark.

Glad you had a good first go round with pork butt shaun! I know what you mean about when the friends and relatives descend onto the meat when it comes out of the smoker! Once I did some chicken. when it was done I removed it from the smoker and set it on the counter. When I turned away to get some tongs, I heared a whoosh and felt a breeze, and when I turned back there was nothing but bones and little tumbleweeds rolling across the cutting board! lol jk
