Question You favorite pork butt dry rub

There is a three-ways pork neck event coming up, and I am looking for some new inspirations.

Three small pork necks without bone without speck are already waiting in the fridge, and I want to give them three different rubs.

The first one will get lemon peppered, there is just no way around it!

The second one should be a little on the sweet side, something like
  • 6 tbs brown suggar
  • 3 tbs coarse sea salt
  • 2 tbs black pepper
  • 1 tbs chili powder
which is a mixture I just found looking around a little.

For the third one I wanted something with cumin, maybe something like
  • 1/4 cup sweet paprika
  • 2 tbs white sugar
  • 2 tbs brown sugar
  • 2 tbs black pepper
  • 2 tbs cumin
  • 2 tbs chili powder
  • 2 tbs coarse sea salt
  • 1 tbs cayenne
but it may as well be a decision between the last two for the second pork neck, because my wife wants to try a typical Austrian "Schweinsbraten" seasoning (featuring caraway) on the third one, which I am dubious about.

So what are your suggestions for such a three-ways pork neck happening?

Hands down the best rub for pork that I have tried so far is Plowboys Yardbird.

For a home made rub this is pretty good also,

3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon hickory smoked salt or 2 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper

And that's the strangest thing, everybody seems to like it on pork, except us. I have Yardbird on my breakfast scrambled eggs and omelets nowadays, didn't try it on poultry yet.

I may need to put a flame suit on, but I am starting to doubt the need to use any rub on a big pork butt. The flavor doesn't go more than, at the most, a half inch into the meat, so when you slice it or pull it, you're not getting a lot of that flavor in the meat you eat.

Pork butt is just such a big, thick chunk of meat. I focus on getting it cooked just right, and then serve it with lots of flavors, whether it is a PP sammich, or some carnitas style tacos, or Cuban style roast with beans and plantains.

Am I alone on this?

No suit required. I completely agree. I've been working on my injections for flavor deep in the meat, but rub doesn't go far in butts. When pulling for sandwiches, tacos, whatever I'll add a little rub after.

I think it depends. If I want the bark that goes with it then I use a rub like playboys. But you can make it sing with just salt and pepper and then make it to fit your application with the final assembly. Mexican, Cuban or whatever.
