Posts: 386
So for Father's Day I want to cook a butt for myself and my dad and spend a day lounging around the pool with the family with the smell if smoke in the air. Thought I may let you guys pick the rubs and the smoking wood combo. Choices are as follows:
Rubs:
- John Henry's Pecan Rub
- Dizzy Dust Original
- Plowboys Yardbird
- 3 Little Pigs
- Byron's Butt Rub.
Woods:
- Hickory Chunks
- Apple Chunks
- Cherry Chunks
- Cherry Chips
- Jack Daniels Oak Chips
- Peach Chips
Most votes wins!!! Hearing hickory with a fruit like peach, cherry, apple is good. Thoughts??

Apple and cherry, always made my own rubs until this week so the only one I'm familiar with is Dizzy Dust out of the ones you mentioned. Just bought my first store bought rub a few days ago and that was it. LOLDearborn MI

Dizzy Dust with cherry and peach. Byron's butt rub is better on brisket. I don't know the others.

Use some dizzy Red Eye, and use a combo of Hickory and Bourbon Barrel chips. Not the JD chips. Those are okay though, just do a 2:1 ratio. There's plenty of places that sell chipped american oak chips from bourbon barrels, and they are so good on a butt.
I have some old barrels I use from homebrewing, and after holding bourbon and beer for a couple years, they rock for chipping up for smoking.

Actually I ended up with two small boneless butts so I rubbed down with the two top vote getters. One with Dizzy Dust and the other with Bad Byron's with added turbinado sugar because I think Byron's needs the extra sugar. The Butts are rubbed down and injected in the fridge, ready to go on the egg in the morning. Unless voting changes I will be using a mix of hickory and apple wood.

Well everything turned out fantastic. Had some pig shots for appetizers and pulled pork nachos. Pulled pork with sandwiches for supper and egged chocolate chip cookies for dessert topped with brownie bites, ice cream, whipped cream, and toppings. A fantastic early Father's Day. Wife even slipped me some new cooking gloves and bear claws for Father's Day to help with the butts.....here are a few pics.

Looks great, did u intend for the cookie dough to cook together like that or was that just a positive side effect? lolDearborn MI
