Homemade BBQ Sweet Rub

We love the simple ingredients of this rub.  We use it on our smoked pork shoulder. The original recipe is from Hey Grill, Hey

1/4 C brown sugar
1 T coarse salt
2 t black pepper
2 t smoked paprika
2 t garlic powder
2 t onion powder
1 t ground mustard
1/2 t cayenne pepper

In bowl, combine all ingredients together and stir well.  Store in air tight container and can last up to 6 months. 


Note: For our smoked pork shoulder, preheat smoker for 225.  Cover raw pork shoulder with yellow mustard. Season all sides with 1/4 C of the above rub. Put fat side up on preheated 225 smoker.  Cook until at least 195 F (we do 201 F), which can take 15-20 hours. After it reaches that temperature, wrap in tin foil and let rest for 1 hour at least before shredding.  After shredded sprinkle with 1-2 T above rub. Enjoy!
