I just found an incredible Boston Butt Pork Rub!

Hey there, backyard BBQ champs! I just found an amazing Boston Butt Pork Rub! It is a rub that will add incredible flavor to your Boston Butt.

Have you ever been to a BBQ and the pulled pork is just bland? Pork in itself does not have a lot of flavor and this is why pulled pork rub is so important.

What’s a Boston Butt, Anyway?

Despite the name, Boston butt is from the pig’s shoulder. A lot of people think it comes from the butt or rear of the pig. Nope, that is where the ham comes from.

A Boston butt is marbled with fat, which melts during slow cooking. What remains is a tender, juicy meat that will literally fall apart. When cooked to 195-205 degrees, you can easily pull it apart with your hands!

Why the Boston Butt Pork Rub Makes All the Difference

This Boston butt pork rub I found isn’t just a seasoning, it creates that crispy, bark on the outside of the meat.

The bark is what helps to lock in the juices and adds amazing smokey flavor to the meat!

Rub It Like You Mean It

The Boston butt pork rub I found comes in a shaker bottle. The shaker bottle makes adding the rub to your Boston Butt a breeze.

Simply hold the bottle about 3-4 inches above the Boston butt and shake side to side. You want to add a nice coating that evenly covers the meat.

It is hard to determine how much is too much, but you will know when you start to add too much rub to your butt.

Let it sit for at least an hour, the longer the pulled pork rub sits the better. If you can let it sit in the fridge overnight that works. This gives the rub time to sink deep into the meat. Trust me, patience pays off here!

Pro tip - Don’t rub your rub, you want to press it into the meat. Rubbing will smear it, and you will have uneven areas of rub on the meat.

Low and Slow Is the Way to Go

Now that your Boston butt pork seasoning has been applied, set your smoker to 225°F and cook low and slow for 8-12 hours.

You are aiming for an internal temp of 195-205°F. This is when the fat renders and all the connective tissue breaks down and guess what? This is when the magic happens, and you can pull apart the meat with ease!

Pro tip - A meat thermometer is your best friend; don’t guess, know!

If you can remove the bone without any meat, you are golden!

Shred and Serve Like a Pro

After a 30-minute rest, grab two forks or some pork shredding claws and start shredding. Your pulled pork rub will have worked its magic. This is where flavor meats smoke! Whether you sauce the pulled pork or let the pulled pork rub shine solo, you can’t go wrong. Serve it up and you will probably receive a lot of compliments!

In Conclusion

So, what is this Boston butt pork rub you ask? Well, it is Butcher BBQ Private Seasoning! It is loaded with flavor and a fantastic rub for pork for your next Boston butt masterpiece.
