Same, so I buy premade ones from Sam's like Emeril's Essence, then add some coarse salt and black pepper. Brown sugar for pork. Last one I bought was this,

Thats some tasty looking brisket.

Any of yall using electric smokers? My dad just got one and I am having trouble getting enough smoke flavor out of it. Not sure if I am putting too many wood chips or what. Only used a traditional side by side smoker.

honestly i dont use wood ships in the electric smoker... you need to use the chunks and make sure there is smoke pouring out from beginning to when you wrap it.

Thanks. And no on the electric smoker for me. Folks that have 'em seem to like 'em well enough and I've tried food off of 'em and I agree with you...just not much smoke at all. I have a traditional offset stick burner. It's more work but I get some satisfaction out of doing it the hard way, I guess.

I used to mix up a brisket rub with cumin, cayenne, etc. Now I just go with Kosher salt and cracked pepper. It's just as good or better. Works for Aaron Franklin.

For butt, I use the rub recipe in Chris Lilly's Six-Time World Championship Pork Shoulder Recipe.

The recipe is for a whole shoulder, which we seldom see in our stores. It makes plenty for a pair of boston butts in the 10 lb.range.

I make my own rubs for both. I'm not Aaron Franklin and don't buy $120 briskets, I use more stuff than pepper and salt.

Which one? If you don't have a nice one that uses wood chunks, you need to get something like an AMNPS that uses pellets to get a really nice smoke. Don't water soak your chips either, if you stick with chips, you are just delaying the right type of thin blue smoke that flavors the food.

Been wanting to try Chris Lilly's rub just haven't yet. If anyone knows what a good rub is, it would be him.

Aaron Franklin makes everyone believe he only uses salt and pepper, but that is false.

LeBlanc's has an all purpose seasoning they sell called Guns and Roses. It's great on a Boston Butt.
