    Apple sauce with rub

    So I'm smoking a butt tomorrow, and was wondering if anyone has covered a pork butt in Apple sauce then smoked? It could be good, or really bad by burning, anyone have any experience with this?

    My First competition results

    That's great news. I'm my own worst critic too, so having someone else think your food was better than you were thinking is always a nice surprise. I can't wait to find one here in San Diego I can go to and test my skills out.
