How Much Rub?

[glwood006]

Hey guys I'm doing 8 Butts next week for a birthday party. I'm going to try Jan's Rub for the first time. Just wondering how much I should make up to do 8 Butts using the original recipe.
 
   Thanks in advance.

Depends how much you're going to put on!   It does make a lot, but never hurts to double it up...you're going to be using it a lot! I always make a double batch because my son comes over for his supply.

I'm thinking double for sure, maybe a triple.

make a triple recipe to be safe

That last time I did Butts.

Double it and you should have plenty. If you triple it beefman is going to want you to send him some

I tripled it, get the butts tmrw. Ill let you know how much I have leftover.

gl, I found that the batch of Jan's Rub I made several weeks ago was about enough for 4 eight pound pork shoulders.  I applied Jan's, refrigerated the shoulders over night, then put in the smoker.  The next go round, I'm planning to apply a second light application of Jan's before the shoulders go into the smoker, so may only get three shoulders per batch. 

I think your triple batch for eight butts is going to be about right.  And it never hurts to have a bit of rub left to dress the pulled pork for serving, either.

Awesome, thanks for the info. Can never have to much rub around.
