Default Re: First Pork Butt of the year

When smoking a pork butt, I cover it in mustard then put a dry rub on it and throw it in the smoker. I keep the heat low and the smoke thick. about every 30-45 minutes i spray the meat with a jack daniels / apple juice mixture that puts a really nice bark on the outside. when i pull it off the smoker i throw it in a crock pot(i have a really big crock pot) and pour 1 can of dark beer over it and add a lipton vegetable pack along with chopped onion and fresh minced garlic and let it cook for about 12 more hours. No need to "pull" the pork, as it is already falling apart in the crock pot. I usually make my own BBQ sauce too. Its usually a mustard/vinegar based sauce with the drippings from the pork or the brisket mixed in.

when smoking a brisket, I cut slits in the meat and put in chopped up fresh garlic, then cover the whole thing in mustard, then cover it with dry rub then put it in the fridge over night. the next day I smoke it for about 7-8 hours, again spraying it with a jack daniels/apple juice or cranberry/rum mixture. when i pull it off the smoker, i put it in a turkey bag and put it in the oven at 250 for about 4-6 more hours. when i pull it out of the oven it goes into the fridge to cool down so i can slice it up.
