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 the 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 overnight
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 the 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 it on a bun
