I am planning on cooking a butt overnight, and thought I would ask for suggestions on whether to use Dizzy Dust or John Henry's Pecan or Butt rub.  Any suggestions?  I have done several with the butt rub and dizzy dust but haven't with the pecan.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And hey it's football season!!!

    I like dizzy dust and Butt rub, never used John Henry's. It's pretty hard to screw up a butt so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    Give the John Henry's a try I think it's good. However you can't go wrong with the other two because they are good as well.

    Cook two butts, one with Dizzy and one with John Henry's! 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    A couple of years ago, I bought a bunch of John Henry's. At the time, people were going nuts about the Pecan rub. Myself, after trying it, I wondered why not just use pecan wood for smoke.

    Unfortunately, I don't recall which of the other ones I thought was really good for butts. Maybe Texas Hog rub. Whatever it was, it gave Dizzy Dust a run for the money.

    As a BTW, I thought the Texas Chicken Tickler was dandy.

    Quick question do you have any of the DP Swamp Vennom? Sometimes I like to rub my down with Dizzy Dust then give a sprinkling of Swamp Venom all around. It adds a little heat without it being too hot for most people. That could be a fun way to switch things up!

    I do the exact same thing. About 65% DD to 35% SV.  My wife won't stand hotter, and I won't stand milder.

    I don't have swamp venom or I would definitely try that. Thanks for the comments thus far.

    @gdenby I would inverse that number if my wife would let me. Unfortunately she doesn't like it as hot as I do. I do about 65 35 too.
