After seeing Smoker Junky’s
rib cook the other night where he used huckleberry rub I ordered some from
here.
This is an 8 pound pork butt that I picked up this morning. I trimmed off most of the fat cap, leaving about ¼ inch)
hit the butt with some CYM and then the rub.
Put into the Grid Iron, using Cookin Pellets hickory, with an initial temp of 160. After about 2 hours I kicked up
the temperature to 215. When the butt hit 155 I double wrapped it in foil with some Mango nectar and a little
more of the huckleberry rub. I kicked up the Grid Iron to 250 to finish the butt. I pulled it at 203 and let it rest
for about 2 hours.
Once it was wrapped I added a pan of Bush baked beans. Bacon was seasoned with Super Pig.
Here it is after being pulled.
Plated with the beans and corn on the cob that I had foiled and threw on the grill for the last 2 hours.
The rub has a definite unique flavor of sweet, spicy and fruity. The next butt I do I am going to inject the butt
with some of the rub. I do believe this rub will go good on chicken which we will definitely be trying.
