If I were using a premixed available rub I'd use Bad Byron's Butt Rub
View attachment 89192

Honey mustard slather as a binder, then dust liberally with the dry rub and good to go.

I've moved on to my own dry rub concoction, but this is a great fall back, imo.

I have used it in the past. It was decent

I avoid using premade rubs due to the salt.
I am sensitive to salt .
I like salt a lot but I want to be in control of my salt intake as much as possible.
It’s just so easy to double or triple salt when using store bought seasonings.
Salt is one of main ingredients in all premade seasonings maybe that is because it is also a cheap filler for making seasonings.
I dunno.
I do know that with premade seasonings using some of this, some of that and a little of this to top it off is a sure fire recipe for triple salting.
I normally just salt once at the beginning of a pork butt cook and maybe a bit more after it’s done when I taste it.

That’s one of the things I like about Kevin Krueger rubs he salts to his preference then you add the rub

I’m leaning toward sticking with “a butt rub for jane” I went to a local BB Q supply and tasted Cimarron Docs that tasted good but was loaded wit MSG and a bit too salty for my preference.

Tom, next time you visit that BBQ supply, if they carry an Simply Marvelous rubs, I would try their Spicy Apple, Pecan, Cherry, Sweet and Spicy. Low salt levels and no MSG ! They have a few new ones that I have yet to try. OH... that Cherry Habanero Glaze is good.

Bob, cherry habanero?
I’m going to have to try some of that.
I dig odd ball flavors like that.
