Texans, if the rain wasn't bad enough... NGC Chili content.

[LowRyter]

I am smoking a couple of pork butts for Christmas Eve Green Chili Verde.

See photos above for the background.  This year I've decided to butterfly and debone the pork butts, I think I'll have the boney pieces for dinner tonight.  I hope to get more smoke flavor in the meat by butterflying it and having more rub as well.

I found this rub recipe that I am trying:

1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons pure chile powder
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Grill is smoking with hickory,  cigar is lit.

If you're around on Xmas Eve, c'mon by.

Rub is highly recommended from my sampling of pork I had for dinner
