I was wondering if you were going to post this recipe. It looks interesting and I will make a batch and let you know. Thanks for sharing DEW!!

I was wondering Dew, do you think you could replace the cayenne/chipotle with Ancho peppers? My thought was that they are a bit sweeter but just as smoky as chipotle peppers. Might go well on the pork butts. I'm gonna give that a try. Thanks.

It already has chili powder in it which is largely ancho with a few other chilis, garlic and oregano added. I don't find ancho to be smoky like chipotle. Ancho is merely dried poblano pepper. Chipotles are actually smoke dried jalapenos. I use the cayenne or chipotle for some additional heat. I suppose you could leave it out, though.
