Oh it's grub, you'll like it. And here's the rub I use for pork butt for next time around. I think it's pretty good.

3-Tbsp Tony's or comparable cajun seasoning
4-Tbsp Turbinado brown sugar (this type of sugar will burn at a higher temperature than regular brown sugar)
1/2-Tsp Paprika
1/4-Tsp Cumin
1/4 Tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 Tsp Onion Powder
1/4 Tsp Salt
 
This is how pulled pork is done in Hawaii, "imu" style...

imu 1.jpg

build a serious hot fire with kiawe (mesquite) wood and imu rocks, which are porous lava rocks

imu 2.jpg

when the rocks begin to glow red, put on a layer of smashed banana stumps (provide moisture) and banana leaves

imu 3.jpg

put pork butts, turkeys, sweet potatoes, hams or whatever on top...cover with banana leaves, then wet burlap sacks, followed by a couple large tarps...then seal the edges of the tarp with the dirt that came out of the pit. Close the pit about 6:00 pm, open it about 6:00 am the next morning...this takes a village to pull off...

That makes for some of the best tasting pulled pork I've ever had!

Steamed opakapaka (snapper) with slivered ginger, garlic, cilantro & green onions...finished off with smoking hot peanut oil & soy sauce...where's the rice?

Seared Mahi with lilikoi burre blanc, green beans & applewood smoked bacon, roasted baby roma tomatoes, and cannellini beans with garlic & anchovy...

On a really flat day, I could make Lahaina from Kaneohe Bay in about 4 hours on my boat...

That's pretty fast! For some reason I thought you were on the big island. Now, I will be on Oahu for a few days. :cheesy:

I love my weber genesis grill. But I find myself using my traeger more and more for both smoking and grilling. If I had to choose one, it would be the traeger.
