Dry Pork Rub 1

For Easter dinner my husband and I decided to smoke a whole pork roast in our trashcan smoker. This is our favorite thing to smoke because it cooks so evenly and turns out amazing every single time. Of course, we’ve been known to throw on some ribs, a whole chicken and even some bacon from time to time, but pork roast is our go to.

Whenever we use the smoker, I use this delicious barbecue dry rub on the meat. It makes anything we smoke so tender and full of flavor, plus you can eat the meat as is without adding any sauce (although it pairs great with BBQ sauce too!). Plus the little bit of brown sugar in the barbecue dry rub gives the meat a nice crispy outside. Perfection.

This barbecue dry rub is even good just sprinkled over any type of meat and thrown on the grill! I like to make it in large batches so I can keep it in the cabinet and always have some on hand. For a large batch I double the recipe, which fills a regular mason jar about 2/3 of the way full.
