I smoked a pork shoulder today made with one of my favorite rubs. It's called Bone Dust and it contains:

1/2 cup paprika

1/4 cup chili powder

3 tablespoons salt

2 tablespoons ground coriander

2 tablespoons garlic powder

2 tablespoons white sugar

2 tablespoons curry powder

2 tablespoons dry hot mustard

1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper

1 tablespoon ground basil

1 tablespoon ground thyme

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon cayenne

I got this rub recipe from http://www.food.com/recipe/bone-dust-bbq-rub-50639

No before pics because my camera's battery was dead when I started, but anyway I sprayed a 3# boneless pork shoulder with olive oil and gave it a generous covering of Bone Dust and into the bbq it went....


This pic was taken after about 4 hours in the bbq with smoke from a mix of cherry and mesquite. My favorite combo for pork shoulder. Temp was in the 225-250 range. Look at those cast iron grates by the way, so pretty...


Here's a pic after 5 hrs of total smoke time. The internal temp was 145 and it was placed into the oven to finish. I would have kept smoking, but I had to leave the house for an appointment so I left it in the oven. I was out of the house for about 1.5 hours and I expected it to be done when I got back, but it was just a little over 190 IT when I got back and checked it, so I put it back into the oven for another 45 mins until it reached 200 IT.


Here's a pic after it was pulled. This was my first time using the Bone Dust rub on a pork shoulder and it may have been my best pork shoulder yet. I really like this Bone Dust stuff and suggest you give it a try! Thanks for looking.

That is am awesome looking shoulder. Perfect size too! You think you lost bark because you finished it in the oven? What temp did you finish it at in the oven?

I set the oven knob between 225-250 to finish the cook. The bark came out great in the oven, I didn't foil it or any thing just placed it into the pan and threw it into the oven.
