This is a Paprika free, BBQ Pork Rub seasoning that lends a Central Texas style flavor in every bite. When we cook big meats on our smoker, like a pork butt, we are after a bold, savory bite with a killer bark that has the perfect saltiness, the correct ratio of 16-mesh pepper, a hint of garlic with the ability to caramelize the fats on the meat so that it forms an irresistible bark.
