I only use wood in the smoker. When available any wood from a fruit tree. This was Pear and finished off with green Pecan.

The rub is:

1/2 cup paprika
1/4 cup garlic powder
1/4 cup cayenne pepper (for full blown "good" heat)
3 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons celery seeds
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
3 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground allspice

This makes enough for three boston butts

... I prefer Red Oak for smoking, especially the bark. I just started experimenting with fruit wood...

I deleted the celery seeds comment. I see you do use them...

So you put the spicy rub on it, then spray the ACV every couple of hours? I never heard of that. Sounds interesting.....

Meh...if I was making it for guests, I would likely halve the amount of cayenne. As far as the pics...here's another one:

I baste using a mustard/vinegar based BBQ sauce over the last 2 hours... I have come to favor seasoned rice vinegar over cider vinegar....

Oh, you really don't want to do that, TS. Mark lives in CA and you'd be a felon as soon as you cross the river. It would be better if we just "liberate" him to AZ.

Just come in a '94 Ford Explorer with primer spots, no one will bother you. It would help if there were 10 other people in the car...

Made something similar today. My Mom used to make this for us; she called it taco soup. Only thing missing from mine are some Fritos.
