Pork Butt Rub Signature Recipe

There are as many ways to season and cook Boston butt as there are days in the year, but when we’re smoking the meat we prefer using a pork butt rub. We want the smoky flavor to stand out, and the ingredients used in a simple dry rub work to underscore that flavor instead of overwhelming it
