Hi all,
Yesterday I smoked a pork butt and everyone said it tasted good, but to me I thought it didn't have any flavor. This is the second time in a row I have had this experience with something I smoked with a diffferent rub and I'm not sure if it's me or if I am doing something wrong. I rubbed it the night before with mustard and a rub that I use which is a little heavier on sweet and light on Chilli powder we were having a lot of kids over and I smoked with pecan wood. The bark was great and meat was juicy. It was just the taste. I've thought about switching to a hickory wood when doing these to get more smoke flavor, but didn't know if that would help. The picture is the finished product after sitting in the fridge this morning. It looked better last night. Thanks for any suggestions.
