Boston Butt Smoking

sear for 1 hour. wrap in 3 layers of heavy duty foil. roll every 30 min for 2.5 hours. pull the 7 bone out and see if meat comes with it. it shouldn't.

First thing I ever smoked was a Boston butt. Easy easy.

Trimmed butt and rubbed with seasonings (i used store bought but obviously homemade would be better)

Then set up my Weber using the snake method (best method for smoking imo). Got the Weber up to 250 and placed a few chucks of apple wood at the beginning of the snake. Placed butt in center and a drip pan with water underneath.

Let it go for about 4-5 hours until I first opened the lid. Great thing about the snake method is you rarely have to refill charcoal as it burns slowly around. Sprayed the butt with some apple juice and covered, opening the lid every hour to spray.

Once butt reached 190-200 I pulled from grill. Probably 8-9 hours in total. Wrapped in foil and let rest another hour. Bone came clean out and made some of the best pulled pork sandwiches and nachos I've ever eaten.

I always use BBQ by franklins video for doing a butt on my kettle. I usually cook a 3-3.5 lb in about 6 hours give or take. Use the snake method.

I followed Chris Lilly's method with good success. Look it up and give it a go, you'll probably like it as well.
