Notes

 
DRY RUB
Any type of rub can be used. No matter what flavor you like, blend them together first before rubbing the pork down. Here are some to try:
  • Chili powder – Regular or hot may be used.
  • Smoked paprika – Regular or sweet paprika may be substituted.
  • Black pepper – Freshly cracked tastes best but ground black mustard may be substituted.
  • Dry mustard – Omit if you do not have dry mustard. Alternatively, you could rub the roast with 2 tbsp prepared mustard before sprinkling on the dry rub over it.
  • Kosher salt – Table salt may be substituted.
  • Ground cumin – Optional
  • Brown sugar – This adds a touch of sweetness to the rub.
  • Roasted garlic powder – Regular garlic powder may be substituted.
  • Onion powder – This may be omitted if you don’t have any on hand. Double up on the garlic in this case.
  • Ancho chile pepper powder – Has a smoky flavor.
 
BASTING
Although the recipe doesn't require it, you could certainly do it. About half way thru the cooking process just beginning mopping/basting. Here is a simple vinegar based recipe.
