re: Best way to smoke a Boston Butt?(updated with pics Pg.2)

I leave it on smoke for 12 hours, catching drippings to make a sauce. I hear the whole doesnt absorb more smoke after 2 hours rule, but dont buy it. That is one of those Alton Brown things I think. The smoke may not penetrate deeper, I am not debating that, but the application of smoke on the outside for the entire cooking process makes the bark much more intense in flavor, and if pulling it makes a difference. BUt hell you can asian em in a crock and they are tasty. Get a quality smoker, use a fruit wood, and smoke for the entire time. I smoke at 225, usually 12-14 hours for a 6-7 pound butt. Use a rub that has a flavor profile you enjoy, rub early, then let meat sit out for a couple of hours before putting on smoker.
