The Renowned Mr Brown rub and mop

Southern Succor Rub
1/4 cup fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup paprika
1/4 cup turbinado sugar
2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon cayenne

Southern Sop
2 cups apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne
your favorite southern barbecue sauce (I use Pigman's)
Directions:

1 The night before you plan to barbecue, combine the rub ingredients in a small bowl.
2 Massage the pork well with about half of the rub.
3 Transfer to plastic bag and refrigerate over night.
4 Before you begin to barbecue, remove pork from refrigerator, and let sit
at room temp for 30-45 minutes.
5 Prepare the smoker for barbecuing, bringing the temp to 200-225 degrees.
6 Stir remaining rub together with the sop ingredients, and 1 cup of water
in a saucepan, and warm the mixture over low heat (you are keeping the
liquid warm during the cooking process to kill any bacteria the tool might pick up from the surface of the food, and to avoid lowering the temperature of the food).
7 Transfer the pork to the smoker and cook it for about 1 and 1/2 hours per
pound, or until it's falling-apart tender.
8 Mop the pork every 1 and 1/2- two hours, or as appropriate for your smoking method.
9 [Ihad a six pound butt which took about 12 hours to cook- when ready,
it was black and burnt looking on the outside, and the internal
temp was almost 180-degrees.
10 Remove the pork from the smoker, wrap tightly in tinfoil, and let sit for
at least 30 minutes.
11 Remove from foil, and roughly chop or'pull' the pork, mixing well the black,
crispy exterior, with the butter-soft interior meat.
12 Add a small portion of your favorite BBQ sauce and mix well- you generally
will need much less than you would think.
13 Place into holding container, cover with foil, and place back into smoker
for 20 or so minutes (this is optional- you can eat right away, if you like).
14 This is so good, a CWB (cheap white bun) would take away from the pure pork pleasure.
