Butt seriously, I like to whip this one up and use on occasion:

 3Tbsp Sweet Paprika (I’ve also used Smoked Paprika and used 1.5T of each. Each is good. Not a big difference)

3Tbsp Pure Chili Powder (read label for any additional ingredients) (Ancho Chili Powder can be used)

1Tbsp Kosher Salt

2 tsp freshly ground Black Pepper

2 tsp Garlic Powder

2 tsp Onion Powder

2 tsp dried Thyme

2 tsp dried Oregano

2 tsp yellow Mustard Powder

1 tsp ground Coriander (I grind fresh, but powder can be used)

1 tsp Celery Seed

1 tsp Cayenne Pepper (or Chipotle)

1 or 2 tsp Cumin Powder

If you “slather” the meat first, olive oil works better than mustard IMHO. The spices will dissolve and penetrate the meat better with olive oil. Olive oil will also let the spices “bloom”. Sometimes I’ll “slather” the meat with Worcestershire Sauce (Lea & Perrins makes a “thick” that works well) just for the flavor.

Looks great FWI! How big of a butt are you using? Let us know how it turns out
 Thanks, It's a 10lber w/ the bone in.  This time i'm trying something different...usually i go w/ no drip pan but i'm going to add a little water and add part of the drippings back after i pull it along with some home made finishing sauce.  

RoadKill, that rub sounds incredible!
 
How did it turn out?

Looking for a rub for my first butt.
