Hey everyone,
I've been lurking on here for years. Never posted much.
So, I just rubbed 30 lbs of beautiful NC pork butts with my usual Bad Byrons "Butt Rub". I also mix in a little John Henrys Pig Rub. I didnt have any of the Pig Rub so I used John Henrys Hickory Rub.
After I saran wrapped everything and put in the fridge for smoking tomorrow, I got a little nervous. Do you think the Hickory Rub might add too much "smoke flavor" to the final product. I probably used around 1 to 1-1/2 cups spread out over 5 butts. I usually use apple mixed with hickory, oak or maple when smoking.
I think I am being a little too anal about it myself. It is just that I have a lot of guests coming on Sat. and dont want to &*&# anyting up. Should I rerub the butts or just forget it.
Any input appreciated
Thanks
Jeff
PS also doing a 8 lb chuck roll (my first), 5 racks of baby backs and teriyaki burgers. Should be a feast.
