Summer may not officially begin until June 21 st, but here in the Deep South, it's been summer weather for weeks.With the onslaught of long, sunny days, I couldn't think of a better thing to do than start to bbq.
I get questions from friends and family on how to cook a pork butt quite often. Questions like: What rub do I use? How long do I cook it? What temperature do I cook it at? Can I do it on a gas grill?
The Southern Barbecue Dry Rub in Joy of Cooking is so easy to put together; there is no reason to pay a high price for a commercially blended rub. The original recipe calls for brown sugar, which I don't use. It's good without it, but add it if you want a bit of sweetness.
