- 1 bone 4-6lb Pork Butt
- also called Boston Butt
- Perpetual Beef Rub (substitute below)
- (Substitute) makes a bout 2.5 cups
- 1/2 cup ground pepper (16 mesh is preferable, coarse ground will work)
- 1/2 cup Diamond Crystal or Morten's kosher salt
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (dark, but light works)
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup paprika
- 4 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons ground ginger
- Slather
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard (any will do - I use Frenches)
- 1/4 cup hot sauce (any will do - I use Texas Pete)
- watch the video above :)
- mix the rub together
- mix the slather together
- trim thin, floppy edges of pork butt. they will just burn
- apply thin layer of slather to butt (to moisten so rub will stick... butt rub.)
- apply rub, coat generously (always pat pat pat, don't rub rub rub)
- let rub sit on pork butt at least 30 mins, ideally over night
- set your smoker up for 225F
- smoke at 250F for 3 hours
- spritz with 50/50 apple cider vinegar/water starting after hour 3 if edges start to crisp
- Once bark is set and dark, wrap in a foil boat and put back on the smoker
- finish the cook with smoker temp ~275F
- take off the smoker when the butt is probe tender, should be about 205-210F and feel like it's probing in room temp butter
- after pulling let sit for 1 hour -- I usually let it come down to about 140F internal
- to serve, pull the bone out, break the meat up with the bone, and serve however you like. I like to sauce the meat and put in on a bun.
