Ingredients
Smoked Pork Buttsalt
pepper
garlic powder
1 5 to 7 pound pork butt (not picnic shoulder) (11 kg to 15.4 kg)
BBQ SauceGuildens brown mustard
Apple cider Vinegar
Dark molasses
Smoked Pork ButtDirections
Smoked Pork Butt1. Smoker preheated to 200 to 210 degrees F.
2. Make a mixture of 4 parts salt, 2 parts garlic powder and 1 part pepper. Season the butt generously with this mixture. Smoke the butt at 200-210 degrees for 11 hours. The butt is done when the meat pulls easily away from the bone.
3. Separate the different muscles. Discard as much of the fat and tendons as possible. If you like a stringy pulled pork, use a fork to shred the meat into long strings. If you like a chunkier pulled pork, very coarsely chop the meat (about -inch thick). The consistency of pulled pork is a personal preference. Serve the pork with BBQ sauce, rolls and your favourite coleslaw.
BBQ Sauce1. Mix equal parts of Guildens brown mustard, apple cider vinegar and dark molasses into a saucepan. Quantity is determined by how much sauce you would like to make. Add the BBQ sauce to get your desired consistency. If you like your BBQ sauce to be more Carolina style, very vinegary pulled pork, add more apple cider vinegar. Bring to a boil being very careful not to over flow your pot while boiling. Keep at a boil for 15 minutes. Done!
