Smoked Pork Butt for Pulled Pork

Updated: Apr 17, 2018


Ingredients:

Pork Butt between 4-9 pounds

Salt

Yellow Mustard

A Quality Dry Rub of your choice

Apple Juice (add Whiskey if you like, optional)

Wood of your choice (I prefer Apple and Hickory blend)


If time allows rub approximately 1/2 teaspoon of salt per pound of meat and allow to rest in refrigerator for 12-24 hours. If in a hurry you can skip the resting.

Apply the Yellow Mustard to the meat. They sprinkle a generous amount of Dry Rub on all sides of the Pork. Allow to rest for at least half an hour.




Smoke at a temperature of 200-250 until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Should take between 4-7 hours. Spritz with Apple Juice and Whiskey at hour 2 and 4 of cooking.

Once it has reached 160, tightly wrap in foil. Continue cooking until internal temperature reaches 195 degrees. Should take an additional 2-5 hours. Total cooking time will be 8-12 hours.


Once Pork has reached 195 degrees, allow to rest, wrapped in foil for at least half an hour. After that shred Pork with forks and enjoy!
