Rub That Butt

When you want to impress the friends, family, or that special lady, use this magic phrase: “I’ve got a nice butt!” Surely, you’ll have the attention of anyone within earshot. A great cookout that results in accolades and cheers for the Master BBQ champion will follow with these 4 easy steps.

1. 1. Start by picking up a Boston Butt Pork Roast (about 8 – 9 pounds)
2. 2. Find a good rub at your local grocery store, or throw together some of your own spices.
   Two key ingredients: Cumin, and Smoked Parika.
   From there, it’s really up to your tastes – spicy or mild, sweet or bitter
3. Massage your rub completely into the roast and flip it over so the big layer of fat (fat cap) is on the top. This will allow th juices to melt over the meat and really flavor it up.
4. Set your oven on 200 degrees and cook for 9 -10 hours. When it’s done, remove from heat and let it rest (don’t touch it) for about 15 minutes. After resting, start pulling it apart and apply whatever sauce you like. If your rub is REALLY good, then you will need very little sauce.

Invite the friends over for good times, good fellowship, and great conversation. You can always crank the grill up and finish it there when everyone begins to arrive… they’ll never know it was done in the oven.

The key to making this the best cookout of the year… stand up and say a quick prayer of thanks. If you’re not real keen on praying before meals… try this one on for size:

Thank you God for today. Thank you for great friends, great fellowship, and all that you’ve given us. May we each be a blessing to you and to each other today. Amen.

Now… go rub that butt!
