Steps:
- Cut the pork butt into 3 pieces:
- Press the "saute" button on the Instant Pot. When the pot is hot, add a little oil and brown the pork pieces on all sides. Remove pork onto a plate and turn off the Instant Pot.
- Add the water to the Instant Pot. Stir to scrape up all the brown bits (that's the good stuff!) on the bottom of the pot.
- Add the liquid smoke and sea salt, and stir to mix.
- Place the pork pieces back into the Instant Pot. Cover and select the 'High-Pressure." Cook for 90 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally. This is what the Kalua Pork looks like right after it's finished cooking:
- Remove the pork to a bowl. Pour the remaining pork drippings/juice into another bowl.
- Shred the pork, and add back as much juice as you'd like to keep it moist and tender. Traditional way is to shred the Kalua Pork super find, but people like to keep chunkier pieces of pork. Either way is delicious.
- Serve hot! With a bowl of rice ^_^

Steps:
- Coat the pork butt with the mustard. Apply the spice rub all over the pork butt, creating a paste with the mustard. Place the pork, fat side up, in a preheated 225 to 250 degree F smoker for 10 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 190 to 200 degrees F. During the smoking process, leave the smoker closed for the first 2 hours and then spray the pork with a small amount of apple juice or cider every 2 hours thereafter.
- Remove pork butt from the smoker and let rest for at least 15 minutes before pulling apart.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat: Logan uses a 10-pound boneless pork butt, also known as a Boston butt. This cut is ideal for smoking as it has a good amount of fat that will help keep it moist during the long cooking process.
- Prepare the meat: Trim any excess fat from the pork butt and season it generously with your favorite rub. You can use a store-bought rub or make your own using a blend of spices like paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
- Smoke the meat: Set up your smoker according to the manufacturer's instructions and preheat it to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pork butt on the smoker and cook it for 8-10 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Wrap the meat: Once the pork butt has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, you can wrap it in foil to help it cook evenly and prevent it from drying out. Continue cooking the pork butt for another 2-3 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meat rest: Once the pork butt is cooked, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before shredding it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat and make it more tender.
Conclusion:
Logan's smoked Boston butt kalua is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The smoky flavor of the pork combined with the sweet and tangy pineapple juice makes for a truly unique and unforgettable dish. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook pork, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
