BOSTON BUTT DRY RUB RECIPE
Boston butt is a thick cut of pork meat that contains a good amount of marbling and fat content. The high amount of marbled fat creates a very moist, juicy roast. This cut comes from high on the hog above the shoulder blade.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together with a whisk or fork.
- Then, the bbq spice rub is ready to worked into your meat.
- Store your dry rub in the fridge in an airtight container.
- It will keep for two to four weeks.
- Apply a thin coat of vinegar-based mustard to the outside of your Boston butt.
- Good options include dijon mustard and yellow mustard.
- Work your homemade pork butt rub into your butt.
- This is an important step! Skin acts as a barrier to flavor, so if you don't work the rub into the meat, the flavor will be lighter.
- Rub the prepared mix of spices into your meat on all sides thoroughly, and it will penetrate the skin to season the entire cut.
- Wrap your seasoned butt in foil. It can be beneficial to let the roast sit overnight.
- Prepare your barbecue with your chosen smoking wood to a temperature of at least 225 degrees.
- Cook your roast in the foil for about 60 to 90 minutes for every pound.
- Every two hours, make sure to turn the roast on a different side.
- Rub a bit of olive oil on the roast during this time to ensure moisture retention.
- When you think it's close to being done, measure the internal temperature at the thickest part of your roast with a meat thermometer.
- When done, the internal temperature should measure 190 degrees.
- Once done on the barbecue, take off heat and let the meat sit for ten minutes.
- Then, it's ready to cut and serve with your favorite side dishes!

QUICK AND EASY BARBECUE RUB
This rub is my personal recipe, settled on after lots of experimenting. It's great on ribs, brisket, and pork butt. Quick and easy from ingredients everyone usually has. This recipe makes enough for 2 to 3 full racks of baby back ribs, depending on how liberally you coat them. For those that are new to barbecuing/smoking, 'rub' is a misnomer, as you're really just coating the meat and not actually rubbing it in. Generally, I'll rinse and pat dry the meat I'm prepping then apply a thin coat of yellow mustard so that the rub sticks.

CUBAN DRY RUB FOR BOSTON BUTT OR ROAST
Ok I was trying find a way to cook a boston butt that DIDN'T involve barbecue sauce. It's too typical and I don't even like the stuff. So I found this and tweaked it a bit to suit me. Stay literal and use as a "dry" rub or you can use several bases. I prefer yellow mustard because it adds a little extra punch of flavor, but olive oil is good too, or yes even barbecue sauce (if you're into that kind of thing...haha). This is great for any kind of roast as well or if you really want to go cuban, season a flank steak and throw some chimichurri on it. Yum. ;) This is good for about 8-10 lbs.

Steps:
- Rinse, dry, and remove as much fat as is reasonable from boston butt, roast, or whatever meat of choice.
- *optional* Cover meat with your base of choice. If using olive oil you'll need about 3 tablespoons and if using mustard or barbecue sauce you'll need around a half a cup.
- Generously coat meat with rub. Don't be stingy! In this case more is more :).
- Using your hands, mix the rub and base together and make sure you get all that flavor into every crevice.
- Cook using your favorite method. An oven preheated to 325º for several hours (depends on lbs) or a crock pot on low overnight are my favorites.

Tips for the Best Rub for Boston Butt:
- Use a mix of sweet and savory spices. Boston butt is a fatty cut of pork, so it can handle a rub with some sweetness to balance out the richness. Brown sugar, honey, and maple syrup are all good options. As for savory spices, paprika, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder are all classic choices.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make a great rub for Boston butt. Feel free to experiment with different combinations of spices until you find one that you love.
- Apply the rub liberally. You want the rub to adhere to the meat so that it can flavor it throughout the cooking process. Be sure to rub it all over the pork shoulder, including the underside.
- Let the rub sit for at least 30 minutes. This will give the spices time to penetrate the meat and develop their flavors.
- Cook the pork shoulder according to your preferred method. You can cook it in the oven, in a slow cooker, or on the grill. Just be sure to cook it until it is tender and juicy.
Conclusion:
The best rub for Boston butt is the one that you like the most. Experiment with different combinations of spices until you find one that you love. And don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to suit your own taste preferences. With a little practice, you'll be able to make a rub that will make your Boston butt the star of the show.
