Barbequed Pork Rub
Combine:
1/4 Cup Kosher Salt
1/4 Cup black pepper
1/4 Cup Chili Powder
1 T. Dried Oregano
1 T. Dried Thyme
1 t. Cayenne
Apply to about an 8 lb. Pork Shoulder (Boston Butt)
Combine all rub seasonings. Coat the shoulder with the rub, massaging into the meat.

No need to let it sit-- it'll have plenty of time to absorb flavors on the grill.
Indirect heat: Grilling indirectly is for cuts of meat that take a long time to cook (it's like baking in the oven). Set up the grill so that half has fire and the other half does not. Cooking is done on the area where there is no fire underneath, but there is plenty of heat. This can be done easily on both gas or charcoal grills. For a gas grill, simply turn one burner on medium-high, keeping the other burner turned off. For a charcoal grill, when the briquettes have turned white, rake them to the sides and cook the meat in the middle of the grate.
Smoke: Whether you use a gas or charcoal grill, you'll need smoke for authentic barbecue flavor. Creating it on a charcoal grill is a no brainer-- just add pieces of water soaked wood directly onto briquettes....But gas grill are different story. Ashes from the burning wood could clog the burners, so wrap pieces of dry wood in aluminum packet opened at top...Put packet on grilling grate directly over the fire. Preheat one side of grill to medium high. Place smoke packet over the fire drip pan under unlit side. Place pork over drip pan and grill for 3 hours. Check every hour to make sure there's plenty of smoke.



Smoking takes 3 hours. Add wood packets as needed to keep plenty of smoke circulating.
Once smoking is complete. Wrap pork in two layers of foil, crimping edges to seal in moisture.
Return to grill: cook 2 hours.
After 2 hours, insert meat thermometer into thickest part of meat. You want to hit 180 degrees
Keep foil around the meat and let rest off heat for 30 minutes. It's now ready for pulling with fork or fingers.

The rub recipe is very similar to the ones that I have used. My rubs usually include some brown sugar but the sugar will burn if you don't smoke at a low temperature. We also included smoked (or Hungarian) paprika in our rubs.
