I'll grab some beef in next weeks groceries and give your recipe a

rub?
Umm , I usually do (and just did) pork , though the rub is also good on
briskets . The way it (pork shoulder/butt ) is served here is on a bun with
some not much , usually BBQ sauce and a small dollop of cole slaw . Most
of the sauces we use are based on tomato sauce with a dash of vinegar and
some sugar and spices . Common side dishes are baked beans , fried okra ,
potato salad , and often french fries .
Properly cooked , a shoulder or brisket should be fork-tender . I
sometimes use a plastic fork to pull the meat , just amazes people ! Just
bear in mind , low-n-slow . I allow a minimum of 1.5 hours/pound at 185°F .
Pork is the barbecue meat. Period. Anything else is grilling.
Grilling is fine, but it ain't barbecue.
Elitist pig! ;^) Anything which can be smoked and charred on the
outside and left tender inside is Q, period.
