I did the finger test, aka licked my finger and stuck it in the bowl of rub, and it seemed OK.  The one thing i cut back on was the cayenne pepper it seems to have to big of a kick for the family so used about a 1/4 of what it called for!!!

I'm still eating leftovers from the one I made and the pepper quantity isn't too much at all.

I generally use pecan for the smoke, Mr. Brown for the rub, and mix in 1 - 2 cups of vaunted vinegar (depending on the amount of shredded pork) and have more vaunted vinegar sauce and other sauces on the side. I generally average about one cup of vaunted vinegar per butt, that I will mix into the shredded pork. When I make my vaunted vinegar I use Nakano Rice Vinegar.

I would caution you to be careful with sauces that have "smoke" flavor. It often clashes with the smoke flavor of the pork butt.
