About this Recipe
This method of slow smoking a pork butt will provide some of the most tender meat you’ve probably ever had. It takes a long time to cook but most of that time is just waiting so it is really very simple to do. Also, we enjoy pulling the meat apart after it’s done and making some of the most mouth-watering BBQ I’ve ever eaten. That said if you’d rather use it in another way, the decision is all yours. Let us know how yours turns out and what you choose to do with it.
Also, I need to add, that this recipe was inspired by BBQ tournament winner Jeff Raymond. He used a Big Green Egg to cook his, as did we, but if you have any grill that will hold temperature for a long time, this recipe should work.
Ingredients
- 8lb. Pork Butt from Don’s Meat Shop
- Your favorite BBQ Rub
- Tin Foil
**Notes**
While this recipe calls for an 8lb. Pork Butt, you could easily use a larger one.
Use for BBQ sandwiches, plates, or anything else that will make your taste buds dance.
Method
Step 1 – Rub the pork butt with your favorite BBQ seasoning and refrigerate for two hours (We used Emerils Essence recipe with about three tablespoons of brown sugar added).
Step 2 – Preheat your smoker (or oven) to 225 degrees.
Step 3 – Place pork fat side up and cook undisturbed for 4 hours.
Step 4 – Carefully remove the pork butt, and increase the temperature to 325 degrees.
Step 5 – Wrap pork butt in tin foil, fat side down. Once the smoker is up to temperature, place the pork butt back on and cook for another 4-1/2 hours.
Step 6 – Remove the pork butt and let rest for 30 minutes in the tin foil.
Step 7 – Enjoy.
