Categories     From Scratch Recipes

Time 16h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

6-8 pound Boston Butt Pork Roast
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cumin
*Optional - 1 tablespoon onion or garlic powder

Steps:

  • *** After a generous rub all over the entire roast, cover with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge to marinate overnight! ***
  • Variations: You can rub olive oil over your roast before adding spices to give it a bit more moisture, or use liquid smoke!
  • Put a wire rack at the bottom of your large roasting pan, then place the Boston Butt Roast FAT SIDE UP on the rack, in the pan, and set on the counter.
  • Preheat oven to 450° f, and let the roast come up to room temperature while the oven is preheating. Place roast UNCOVERED into your high temperature oven, and roast for a half hour. Then, turn it down to a 250° f oven temperature for the rest of the day.
  • Turn the heat down to 250°f and let it roast uncovered till the exterior develops a "bark" or becomes dry and crispy, about 8 hours for a medium sized roast (about 6 pounds). Make sure the outside is good and CRUSTY... Most people think the "bark" or exterior of the roast is the best part, because that's where are the spices are!
  • Then carefully remove roast from oven and completely wrap it in 2 layers of heavy duty aluminum foil.
  • Return Boston Butt to the oven and roast at 250° till the internal temperature (at the deepest part of roast) reaches 200° f.

SLOW-SMOKED PULLED PORK (BOSTON BUTT)



Slow-Smoked Pulled Pork (Boston Butt) image

This simple yet effective Boston butt recipe gives the pulled pork a mildly spicy and tangy flavor. The combination of smoke and moisture from the drip pan works very well for cooking the meat evenly and leaves plenty of juices within the meat itself. I've tried several different methods with Boston butt and this one is my favorite, as well as a favorite among my friends. Give it a try and see if you like it, and please don't be shy and leave some feedback! I usually serve with barbeque sauce and baked beans (throwing the fat chunks from the pulled pork into the beans to add a little extra flavor). Check out my Sweet and Spicy Cornbread Muffins recipe for a great side. Enjoy!

Time 5h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 tablespoons dark brown sugar
4 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
4 ½ teaspoons onion powder
4 teaspoons paprika
4 teaspoons seasoned salt (such as LAWRY'S®)
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
3 ½ pounds bone-in Boston butt roast
½ cup spicy brown mustard
1 cup pickle juice
¾ cup olive oil
charcoal
8 pounds fruit wood chunks for smoking
2 cups pilsner-style beer (such as Budweiser®)
4 ¼ cups water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Mix brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, seasoned salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl to make dry rub.
  • Coat roast with spicy brown mustard. Sprinkle dry rub all over roast and work it into all the folds and creases.
  • Combine pickle juice and olive oil in a small bowl.
  • Preheat 5 pounds charcoal in a smoker according to manufacturer's instructions until white and flaming. Distribute 7 to 8 large wood chunks over the coals. Place a drip pan on top; pour in beer and enough water to fill the pan most of the way. Close smoker; bring liquid in the drip pan to a boil. Place roast on top and close smoker.
  • Smoke roast, turning every hour, until browned, about 2 hours. Baste roast with pickle juice and olive mixture. Continue smoking, turning and basting every hour, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 175 degrees F (80 degrees C), 2 to 3 hours more.
  • Remove roast from smoker and wrap with aluminum foil. Let rest, about 30 minutes.
  • Uncover roast and cut into chunks. Shred chunks into small strands; transfer to a large bowl. Squeeze strands with both hands repeatedly, mixing after each squeeze.
