1 (6- to 7-pound) bone-in Boston butt pork shoulder, with 1/4-inch fat cap
Wood Chicks BBQ Championship BBQ Rub (recipe follows)
6 to 8 cups apple juice, for the roasting pan and for spraying
3 to 4 cups Wood Chicks Mild BBQ Sauce or your favorite barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/4 cup chili powder
1 1/2 tablespoons sweet Spanish paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon curry powder

1
The night before you roast the pork, coat it heavily with the dry rub.
2
Wrap in plastic wrap or place in a plastic bag, and refrigerate overnight.
3
Remove the pork from the refrigerator 2 hours prior to cooking.
4
Preheat the oven to 250F.
5
Put the pork butt, fat side up, in a roasting pan with enough apple juice to cover the bottom of the pan.
6
Cook in the oven until the exterior of the pork is mahogany colored, about 4 hours, adding more apple juice as needed.
7
If the exterior is drying out, spray the pork with apple juice.
8
Carefully transfer the pork to long pieces of double-layered heavy-duty foil.
9
Pull up the sides of the foil, add 1/2 cup apple juice to the foil, and wrap so its as airtight as possible.
10
Return to the oven and cook until the internal temperature of the pork is 190 to 195F, 4 to 5 hours.
11
Unwrap, let cool slightly, and pull the pork to the desired consistency.
12
Top with the barbecue sauce.
13
Combine the salt and brown sugar in a food processor or blender, and process until well blended.
14
Add all the remaining ingredients except the granulated sugar, and process until blended.

Then add the granulated sugar and process until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
