SMOKED PORK
Dry Rub
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons paprika
1/4 cup table salt
1 teaspoon black pepper (ground fine)
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (your choice, but pick one without much salt)
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
Mix ingredients thoroughly. Set aside.
One 5-pound Boston butt or shoulder cut
Margarine
Apple juice
Score fat on roast but don't trim off. In a large enough container, soak meat in hot sauce (Tabasco). Move pork to a new, dry container. Massage the rub into every seam of meat and cut in the fat. The rub combines with hot sauce to form a thick paste.
Wrap tightly in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
Smoke pork roast 6 to 8 hours, depending upon the size. Baste with lots of margarine and apple juice. When meat reaches 140-150°F; remove and wrap in heavy tinfoil. Douse with a lot of bbq sauce.
Put foil-wrapped pork back in smoker at 200-220°F. Cook three hours to 165°F. When done, pull out the main bone. Pull the pork or slice it. Serve with additional bbq sauce.
