Hey Ferm, forgot ta tell ya about the mayonaise trick. A good friend won many times at pig cookoffs, he swears by it. When you're cooking a whole hog split it down the back, rub a whole big jar of mayo all over the inside and skinside befofe cookin. It seals the meat and keeps it from burning and loosing the outer layer of meat. I've used it many times and it works great. Dosen't change the taste any.

All the whole hogs I ever did were wild. So it was liberal coats of vinegar and butter mix slapped on with a mop when I did them. I'm new to the whole rub and injections, I've always just used sauce and a light coat of seasoning in the past. With my stomach I have started using the rubs because I can get a nice candy coating instead of the smoke crust on the outside, and it doesn't bother my stomach that way.

And I just edited the recipe for the rub some. I have had problems in the past with the rub clumping and not mixing well if you add the brown sugar first, and the paprika can make it difficult to get the other ingredients mixed thoroughly.

Had some of the injection and rub left over from the pork buts, so I used it tonight on a chicken(stuffed with just plain stove top seasoned herb stuffing) in the oven with potatos, carrots, celery, and corn on the cob. Baked it for an hour and 45 minutes at 375, and it came out AWESOME! I also drained off some of the juices and made chicken gravy out of it(I cheated and used a low sodium chicken gravy mix). I can't remember the last time I saw my son eat food that fast. He ate as much chicken as my wife did at dinner, and still managed to eat a pile of stuffing. It was shocking how much he put away for 17 months old. So this stuff aint just for smoking, it's just GOOD stuff.

Salt makes it good, but with my high blood pressure I can't have it. So I have had to find alternative ways of seasoning.
