Pork Butt Party using Jans Rub

[kdunla]

Hello all,

I have a big smoke coming up next weeked and am smoking 64 pounds of pork butts for some sandwiches this week.  I've got a couple of successfull runs under my belt using rubs that I already had and enjoyed them.  I've done molasses and mustard rubs with them.  This time, it's going to be Jans Rub on them and I am wondering if a molasses or mustard rub is recommended as a base before the rub?

I'm also going to be looking on here for a smoked bean recepie so if anyone has one handy and wants to share...that would be awesome!

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

CYM will give you a nice pronounced bark. You will not taste any mustard ;)

I have never done the molasses butts. I have seen them and they always look fantastic.

I would say go with whatever one you like better. Jan's rub practically goes with anything.

Ditto. CYM is a good glue for the butt.

Once I used molasses one time, I have never used mustard since.  The molasses sets a much more pronounced bark in my opinion.  You can trim the fat cap off of those butts and use molasses as the glue.   You will have a defined bark that you won't lose when you pull the pork.

BTW, did I mention my wife is Jan of Jan's Rub? ;)

I just mixed up the batch of Jan's Rub to get ready for the rub down tomorrow night on the first batch. 

Hint.....Don't try this rub at 9:30 at night!  I tasted a pinch and for the last hour have been craving a chunk of smoked meat with this on it!  It was very good and I can see how it would be a great table spice.

I'm sure it will be great on the pork butts and can't wait. 

KyNola,  I've read a time or two that Jan is your wife and creator of this recepie.  Please tell her thank you for sharing and a thank you for sharing as well.  Without a site like this and great people helping and sharing, I would still just be making jerky!  Now I've been doing pulled pork, ribs, chicken, sausages, appetizers and snacks for lots of family and friends over the last couple of years.

I did 4 half butts with Jan's rub and used molasses on two and no glue on two.  I liked the molasses one better.  I smoked for 4 hours and cooked for 10 - 16 more.  At the last two hours I added 2 extra hours of smoke and it was not over smoked when I pulled them.
