I haven't tried the extra rub because I was affraid it would be to "raw" and concentrated, though I have added some sauce if the butt wasn't seasoned enough. But it all comes down to experimenting until you find what you like. Good luck!

I agree with the above...
The mop that I found works the best is 2 cups viniger, 1 cup stone ground mustard, 1 tablespoon Kosher Salt, and 2 teaspoons Fresh ground pepper... Mop the pork every hour until gone... It adds to the color of the bark and helps bring the flavor "Into" the meat from the bark...
