My daughter gave me this rub/sauce combo for Christmas and I finally got to give it a try. My go to for pork is Plowboy's Yardbird with a nice layer of brown sugar on top. The Honey Rub Dat Butt rub is a lot like Yardbird, but it had more pepper in it and honey in it, making the brown sugar redundant. The Honey Chipotle Rum sauce on its own was similar to any other slightly spicy BBQ sauce. It wasn't bad, but wasn't fantastic either. I'll use up what I've got of both because they definitely go well together and the family loved it. Whether we get more depends on what she get me for next Christmas.
I was a little pressed for time and the butt was frozen in a cryopak from Sprouts, so I had to sous vide at 78 degrees for a couple of hours, then smoke at 300 until it hit 140, then into the oven at 325 until it hit 200. I usually go for 275 through the whole process, but I was short on time because it was frozen and the results were as good or better than my usual 275.
