Recipe - Butter Almond Classic Cookies

3 tablespoon Brown sugar
2 tablespoon Sweet paprika
1 tablespoon Pepper
1 teaspoon Cayenne
1 tablespoon Garlic powder; (granulated)

One half teaspoon Mrs. Dash; (salt free)
Garlic & Herb
One half teaspoon Dry mustard
One half teaspoon Celery seed
One half teaspoon Chili powder
One half teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Salt; (low sodium)

Strangely enuf, I bought my first Boston butt yesterday. The markets around
here offer, almost exclusively, pork shoulder... and they have a good deal
more fat than the butt. I think this market had the butts only for the
holiday season, since they were sitting beside quail, pheasant ($15 each!),
and a few other offerings one doesn't usually find in the markets around
here. Anyway, it's only 4.18 lbs (boneless) and I rubbed it as follows:

This rub is similar to one posted by Scott (South Carolina) last May. I
made 34 changes out of necessity (Mrs. Dash) and preference (brown sugar).

I'll Q the butt for 5 hours at 225, providing hickory smoke for the first
4. Then it goes into foil and the cooler. Have no plans to baste, but I'll
make a sauce outta the leftover rub (45 T), a few cups of apple cider
vinegar and a cup of water. That will be boiled down slowly for 10 minutes.

Would any of you soak the butt in some liquid (beer, Dr. Pepper, etc.)
while foiled?
