Just joined the forum today, plan to smoke my first boston butt on Saturday (4/25/20).
I have been doing some research and reading some of the stickies on here. Great forum, great info.
My first smoke was a Turkey breast for the family on easter weekend; which I brined overnight and it turned out EXCELLENT.
I was wondering if most (or anyone) brine their pork butts prior to smoking. If so, what all would go into the brine?
I have read about slathering the butt with mustard and then applying a dry rub (also looking for dry rub recipes if anyone has one they'd like to share). Would this be in addition to brining, or is it an either / or situation with brining vs. dry rub?
I'm shooting for a carolina style pulled pork at the end of the day. Any info is much appreciated; thanks for everyone's time!
