Jabber, according to Stressreleif, here in Carolina the correct name is a "Raleigh Rump", and not a "Boston Butt" Makes sense to me

thanks bushman and in particular thanks for the rub recipe. it sounds perfect and i have wanted a good dry rub for ages and didn't have one. i always buy it pre-mixed.

Jabberwockey try this.It is good.

This recipe makes enough rub for three slabs of ribs or a large butt roast.
The recipe can be doubled.

bushman i wish i had a smoker. might be on my wishlist for christmas.

Boston Butt
Bone-in Boston Butt cut of a pork shoulder
Plain-old yellow mustard
Dry Rub
3 Tbs paprika
3Tbs dark brown sugar
1Tbs basil
1Tbs oregano
1Tbs cayenne pepper

Combine dry rub ingredients.
Rinse meat and pat dry with paper towels.
Slather with mustard.
Sprinkle all over with dry rub.
Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 10 hours.

Let meat sit at room temperature for one hour.
Place meat on a rack above a drip pan with 1 inch water,
and stick a thermometer through the thickest part of the meat without touching bone.
I start out with a bunch of hickory 6 - 10 fist-sized chunks and a handful of chips.
Usually, I don't add any more while cooking.
Put meat on the smoker, and stabilize the thermometer at 200º.
Cook at 200 º until the temp reaches about 150º - 160º. Then, increase
the temperature to about 260º and cook a few more hours until the thermometer
eaches 200 º. This will usually take about 10 hours for a 6 pound Boston butt.
Remove the meat from the smoker, cover in foil, and let sit 15 minutes to an hour.
Pull the meat into thin strands. It will take you a while, so sample while you go!
