Wednesday, I am doing 2- 3 lb butts, bone out. I have one recipe that I will be using:
4 heaping tbsp brown sugar

4 heaping tbsp paprika, we used 3 tbsp of spicy paprika

2 heaping tbsp garlic powder


2 heaping tbsp onion powder


2 heaping tbsp ground pepper


2 heaping tbsp fine salt


2 heaping tbsp ground cumin


2 heaping tbsp dried oregano


rubbed mustard on the butt and then put the rub all over the butt and put in the fridge.


Any one have a recipe with a sweet taste to it. I want to have something the same and something new.

Planning on 6-7hours, mesquite chunks for smoke. Accompanied by several adult beverages.

Thanks in advance.

    IWe've made some great "miso" marinades for cod, chicken and tenderloins. I don't see why it wouldn't work as an injection.  The marinade would not penetrate deep enough even on a 3 lb butt.  But they are basically miso paste, miren, rice wine vinegar.  I would then work some 5 spice powder with some brown sugar into a rub.

    My other thought off the top of my head would be to brine it using some B grade or Dark Amber A grade Maple syrup in lieu of sugar. then of course water and salt.  You could work maple sugar and a little extra cayanne into your rub for a sweet heat. Then mabye save some of the maple syrup to use in a finishing glaze.

    Depends on how sweet you want to go.

    I like Butt Rub with a little extra brown sugar

    Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Just given another Mini to add to the herd.

    I really like John Henry's Raspberry Chipotle rub.  It's got a sweet taste, offset by a mild kick from the chipotle. 

    See if your local BBQ store has any that you can sample & see how you like it.

    Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup... Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. - Bruce Lee

    I cut some apples and cooked them down and added cinnamon and BBQ sauce and that came out really good.

    Sounds pretty good, John Henery's makes a pecan rub that is very good on butts also. I mix it with Butt Rub.
