I'm going to make  a pork butt this weekend.  If you had to pick one of those rubs, which would it be?  I've never had a pecan rub.  That sounds interesting.

Edit:Crap I can't get it until Saturday.

Rural King in Lebanon has Heath Riles, but it doesn't look like they have the pecan. They do have the honey though, and it's only $7.99 for 16 oz as opposed to $13.99 on Amazon.

I only used the Sweet and the Pecan on the meatloaf, so I haven't tried the rest yet. My go to for pork butts has for years been Plowboy's Yardbird. I ordered some Lane's BBQ "Spellbound" to try on my next one. I haven't done a butt with it yet, but I've sprinkled it on some grilled pork chops and it is very good (although a little expensive) I expect it to turn out a great pork butt. A buddy of mine loves the Pecan rub, bt it was used sparingly in the meatloaf recipe so I'm not sure I could really taste it. If you go straight to his website instead of Amazon, he has bundle prices.
