First Pulled Pork

[donr]

I am going to be smoking my first Boston Butt for pulled pork this weekend.  Here's the plan;

Bone in butt

Rub below - 24 hours min

May mix 1 cup apple juice with 2T of rub & inject

Drip pan below with some sliced Onion & broth. Refrigerate, Skim Fat, See how it tastes, then pour over meat.

Plan on 2 hr per pound with 2 hrs of resting.

225°F over Pitmasters Choice

Foil at 165°F, Finish to 205°F & toothpick test

*Lower salt version of Basic BBQ rub from the BBQ Bible

1/8 cup coarse salt (kosher or sea)

1/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar

1/4 cup paprika

3 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon dried onion flakes

1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon celery seeds 

Am I missing anything?  Brining?

Hopefully some Qview, Maybe Even BearView.  Eating on Sunday 8/2.

Thanks

Don
