Boston Butt #1

Another thin post.

I heard a lot about Boston Butt from Shane. Jeremy made one that Shane got to sample, and at a camp out, Dave made one. I didn't want to be left out.

We bought a Boston Butt that was very big, so at Jeremy's recommendation we cut it in half and smoked one half and cooked the other half in a crock pot. Both were amazing.
The rub. Jeremy brought it to us from his Kroger. I have yet to see it in our grocery stores.
Half of the Boston Butt on the smoker, ready to begin!
We wrapped it in foil after it was done, and left it in the oven for a little while (you can leave it in a cooler too).
The final product. This is the stuff you get when you order a pulled pork barbeque sandwich at a BBQ joint!

Pork Tenderloin #1

I don't have much detail on this one, but I wanted to post the photos.

I bought a half pork loin that was 5.39 lbs. I used the same rub from the pork ribs.

We smoked it.
It was delicious!

Smoking Ribs #1

The Publix butcher helped me pick out pork spare ribs that I covered with a pork rub recipe that I tweaked.













The recipe I ended up with:


1/4 C light brown sugar
3 T paprika
2 T ground black pepper
1 T onion powder
1/2 T celery seed
1/2 T sea salt
2 t garlic powder
2 t mustard powder
1 t cumin
1 t ground red pepper

I used about half of it on the ribs I picked up.

What I did right:

  • The rub was awesome
  • The ribs were delicious!

What I did wrong:

  • Didn't use enough charcoal
  • Used charcoal with the lighter fluid on them
  • Didn't add charcoal throughout

I didn't take a final picture, you'll have to trust me on how good they looked and tasted.
