What's wrong with what you're doing? Sounds good to me. I might replace sugar with brown sugar though.

Have you ever used turbinado sugar? AKA as sugar in the raw. IMO it is better than brown sugar. Rouge this tip is for you.

Coat the shoulder in a thin layer of yellow mustard. It helps the rub adhere to the pork and the vinegar in the mustard helps to tenderize the meat. Your base is good. Garlic powder, onion powder, celery salt and a little cayenne.

Get some Szego Hungarian Paprika. Much better than any type of McCormick's or other brand.

I always play around with a few different things.

This is what I have done recently

1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup paprika
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons cayenne


Usually add a little celery seed and turmeric to it for a rib rub..

My old man is pretty high on the dizzy pig brand stuff. He's pretty well known on the BGE forums apparently.

LULZ. That is a really good customer of mine. We deliver every week to them. Might have my driver pick up a few containers. Place your order Rouge, I can save you a drive.

Need I say brine the shoulder for twelve or so hours first then rinse well and apply rub?

x 1,000,000! This is sound advice. Keeps the rub on the meat, and the mustard flavor becomes inert during the cooking process. This also helps create a nice crust/bark on the roast.

I mix things up with my rub quite a bit, but it sounds like you're working with the right ingredients. I might try adding some ground mustard and chili powder.

Also, I recommend marinating a pork roast (also applies to ribs) in apple cider vinegar overnigt before cooking.
