Suggestions on the best rub for Pork Butts


 
I'm not a fan of temping brisket internals. Since you have a probe in though, check for tenderness with it when it hits the low- to mid-180s. See how the probe feels going in. If not near effortless it will need to cook longer. If insertion wasn't smooth at all give it 30-45 min before checking agin. If and when it's easier but not quite there, go another 15-20. Pull when the brisket feels tender, irrespective of temp.
 
THE RESULTS:
My first brisket was a success!!! Here are some pictures:

Lessons learned:
1. Foiling works. I was able to speed up the butt towards the end to get it ready for dinner.
2. I liked Kevin Kruger's rub for butts.
3. I liked the brisket with Texas BBQ Rub, but for the money I like butts much better.
