My Brother in law is having his graduation party at my house(yea, i love to host when food is involved) and i plan to do three pork shoulder picnics(mexican carnitas pulled/shredded pork), 4 tri tips, and about 25 - 30 chicken thighs. Now, i probably wont be able to snap any pics since i also have a lot of cleaning to do and the misters are almost finished(supposed to be hot, misters will be nice).
Really, the only question i have is what would be a good rub for the three picnics? I want to have great flavor(do i need to spritz?, the last picnic i made was a success, but i want to add more flavor) all the way through.
Any suggestions. i found a few recipes online, let me know what you think or if i should add or delete anything. This will be the ratio, im sure i will have to multiply it by 10.
2TB chile powder
1t cumin
1/2t garlic powder
1/2t oregano
1/4t CBP
1/2t salt
Anything i should add, delete, modify? Do i need to inject the meat with a solution of this? All three picnics are about 8lbs with skin on and bone in. Im removing the skin and expect about 13 hours for cooking time. does this seem far fetched? Will be using my UDS with kingsford charcoal and apple wood(unless a different wood is recommended, i have hickory and mesquitte).
Thanks all
