Reply to "Favorite Pork Butt Rub?"

New poster here.......I currently have a gas smoker and have enoyed this forum site a lot. I have a suggestion about any mop or wet marinade that uses salt/soy sauce/worcestershire. Try adding nuoc mam, fish sauce, instead. The best is the Vietnamese nuoc mam.

There is an unbelievable flavor explosion from using nuoc mam in almost anything. My wife can't stand it, but I always use it and just don't tell her. She loves it on all meats. Used judiciously, there is no discernable odor.

I use 1:1 nuoc mam to cider vinegar plus lots of garlic, pepper, cayenne, etc. It is a great wet brine and works fabulously as a jerky marinade--cross between biltong and jerky flavor. I believe this is a secret ingredient in Slim Jim's!
