Brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, onion & garlic powder for the rub, smoke low and slow til you can pull the bone out. I do a "candied" pork butt occasionally with brown sugar rum and steens at the end.

I've never done a pork butt but want to sometime soon. Are yall smoking it similar to a brisket? Approximately an hour per pound and around 225*?

Season it up and drop in crock pot with can of chipotle. The smoke is in the chilis.

Salt, pepper, garlic, some chili powder and paprika cumin and brown sugar is what I usually put on them.

Low and slow is always good. I have found you can apply more heat to a pork but and still be good than a brisket. Usually I smoke mine for several hours and then put it in the oven and take a nap.

Pull and serve with sauted onion, make great tacos, nachoes, or my favorite sliders on kings Hawaiian rolls.

Salt, pepper, garlic, onion, paprika, brown sugar...light coat of olive oil, rub the meat down and season liberally. 250-275 on the pit, smoke it fat side up until you see the fat cap split. I usually let mine go a little longer after it splits, then wrap in foil and usually another 4-5 hrs is plenty. Let it rest and rip it apart.

redchevy is right, PP with fresh coleslaw on kings Hawaiian rolls is awesome.

I have a chart that indicates 49 minutes per lb. at 225 degrees. Will know in a few days.

Yes sir that is an option. The old crock pot always comes through when needed.

Too hot for me to grill or smoke. I got two brisket and a pork loin waiting for some coolness.

I like to rub in some Franks hot sauce and apple cider vinegar. Then smoke it about 4 hours. I wrap it with foil after adding 8 ounces of beer and put it in the over at 220 over night. Comes out perfect every time.

I rub mine down with cavenders, wrap and refrigerate over night. Plop it on a 265 degree pit for 4 hours with about 10 hatch chilies laying on top of it for the last hour. Remove the chilies, set aside for later, wrap and throw in oven at 265 till bone pulls. Throw it into a foil pan with the chilies and pull it, making sure to mix those smoked chilies in.

Thats happening again this weekend.

I do carnitas style tacos with them.
