Description
This basic recipe gets your perfect pulled pork every time, just don’t set your timer. The cook can take 10-15 hours depending on the size of your pork butt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pork butt (Boston butt, 5–7 pounds)
- 1/4 cup your favorite BBQ seasoning
- 10 chunks cherry wood for smoke flavor
Instructions
- Set grill/smoker for 250 degrees indirect cooking with cherry wood chunks for smoke flavor.
- Season pork butt liberally on all sides with your favorite BBQ rub. This can be done the night before and kept in the fridge overnight or done 2 hours before your cook.
- Put pork butt on grill and smoke 10-15 hours or until internal temperature reads 195-200 degrees and the meat “jiggles” when you poke it.
- Remove pork and wrap in aluminum foil and place into a cooler to rest for 1-4 hours.
- Pull pork to your desired texture, sprinkle with extra rub and serve immediately on sandwiches, in tacos, on nachos or whatever you like.
