Equipment
- Smoker
Ingredients
- 8 lb Pork Butt
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- ¼ cup salt
- ¼ cup black pepper
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup apple juice
Instructions
- Remove pork butt from packaging, pat dry with a paper towel and trim of any excess fat.
- Rub a thin layer of mustard on all sides of the pork. This is used as a binder for the dry seasoning to adhere to.
- Mix equal parts of table salt and black pepper (about ¼ cup of each) and apply liberally to all surfaces of the pork butt.
- Transfer pork butt to your smoker grill, burning post oak wood around 275-300°. Lay the pork with the fat side toward your heat source.
- About once per hour, liberally spray the pork butt with a 50/50 mixture of apple cider vinegar and apple juice.
- Smoke for a total of about 6-7 hours until reaching an internal temperature of about 195°.
- Wrap the pork butt in heavy duty aluminum foil and allow to rest in a dry cooler for a minimum of 1 hour to allow the meat to retain the juices.
- After a sufficient amount of resting time, unwrap the pork and it should pull apart by hand with ease.
