Smoked Pork Butt On The Grill Food

SMOKED PORK BUTT

Steps:

• Sprinkle the Lotta Bull BBQ Red Dirt Championship BBQ Seasoning for Pork Butt all over the meat, making sure to evenly coat the entire pork butt, and gently rub into the meat. Cover with aluminum foil and let sit out on the counter for 1 hour to allow the seasoning to penetrate.
• Preheat a grill or smoker to 300 degrees F.
• Place the pork butt on the grill or in the smoker, and cook over indirect heat until tender, 4 to 5 hours. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Combine the granulated sugar, salt, garlic salt, smoked paprika, brown sugar, black pepper and cumin in a bowl and mix until well blended.

SMOKED PORK BUTT ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• For the rub: In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, paprika, salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano and black pepper. Rub into the pork butt and allow to sit at room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
• For the wet mop: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the apple juice, vinegar, mustard and pepper flakes together with 1 cup water. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Prepare a grill for indirect low heat (if desired, add wood chips to the burner element on the direct side): For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
• Lightly oil the grill grates. Cook the pork butt over indirect heat, keeping the temperature consistently at about 225 degrees F, 5 hours and 30 minutes. Continue to cook, basting the pork butt with the wet mop sauce every 20 minutes, until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 195 degrees F, 2 hours and 30 minutes to 4 hours and 30 minutes more. Transfer the pork butt to an aluminum pan, tent loosely with foil and allow the meat to rest 20 minutes. Use 2 forks to shred the meat and transfer to a bowl. Add drippings and any leftover mop sauce to the pulled meat to moisten further.
• Serve the pulled meat on the buns.

SIMPLE SMOKED PORK BUTT

Steps:

• Cut a few slashes in a crosshatch pattern across the fat cap of the pork butt. Rub mustard on top. Massage BBQ rub into the meat, getting it into the cuts. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Add wood chips according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Place pork butt on rack, with a drip pan underneath to minimize the mess. Smoke until internal temperature of meat reaches 200 to 203 degrees F (93 to 95 degrees C), 10 to 16 hours, depending on size of pork butt and outside temperature.
• Remove pork butt from smoker, wrap in foil, and let rest for 1 hour. Remove bone and shred pork.

SMOKED PULLED PORK

Steps:

• Soak your hickory chips overnight.
• Mix together all ingredients except the Boston Butt. Liberally coat the pork with the dry rub mixture, really rubbing it into the meat.
• Place your charcoal grates at the lowest setting and your food rack at the highest setting in your grill. Pour charcoal in the grill and light. Once the coals are ready, move all the coals to one side. Place a pan of water on the other side. (An old aluminum pan from a pan of rolls works well -- something disposable).
• Place the meat on the cold side of the grill, fat side up. Add hickory chips to the charcoal and close the lid.
• Add more chips every 20 to 30 minutes. Add charcoal as needed, being careful not to let the fire die.
• Continue to smoke the pork for 9 hours. If you prefer not to have a crispy outside, you can wrap the meat in heavy duty aluminum foil for the last three hours of cooking.
• Remove from the heat and "pull" the meat. This means to separate the meat from any fat, gristle or bone, pulling the meat into strips suitable for sandwiches.
• Toss the meat with a vinegar hot sauce. (Optional).
• Serve with barbecue sauce on a hamburger bun.

Steps:

• If desired, soak the pork butt in a brine solution for at least 4 hours or overnight. There's a recipe for a brine on this site titled 'Basic Brine for Smoking Meat'. You should do this covered and in the refrigerator.
• Preheat an outdoor smoker for 200 to 225 degrees F (95 to 110 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, chili powder and any additional seasonings to your taste. Apply this liberally to the meat and rub it in with your fingers. Place a roasting rack in a drip pan and lay the meat on the rack.
• Smoke at 200 to 225 degrees F (95 to 110 degrees C) for 6 to 18 hours, or until internal pork temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
