Smoked Pork Butt
Delicious Smoked Pork Butt is incredibly easy to make at home and is perfect for barbecue plates, sandwiches, tacos, and more.
Equipment
- 1 charcoal smoker
Ingredients
- 1 boneless pork butt 5 - 8 lbs
- 3 tbsp yellow mustard
- ¼ cup your favorite rub
- 1 Eastern NC Barbecue Sauce
Recipe Instructions
For the Pork
- Slather the yellow mustard all over the surface of the meat on all sides. This will help the rub stick to it.
- Coat all sides with your rub, massaging it into all of the crevasses.
- Set up your smoker to 250℉. Place the pork butt onto the hot smoker and smoke until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 165℉, about 3 - 4 hours. Every hour, use a brush to mop on some of the vinegar sauce.
- Remove from the smoker and wrap in a double layer of heavy duty aluminum foil or butcher paper.
- Place the wrapped pork back on the smoker at 250℉ and continue to smoke until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 205℉.
- Remove from the heat and let rest, wrapped, for 30 minutes.
- Pull the meat apart into chunks, throwing away any clumps of fat that did not render. Serve and enjoy.
