Ingredients

Instructions

  • Use an indirect set-up on your smoker (do not place directly over coals) - use drip pan or water pan to separate the meat from the direct coals.
  • Load in your charcoal and light your smoker and set your control “Pit” temperature to 265°F.
  • Allow the smoker to come up to temperature While your smoker is coming up to temperature, put 3 Eyz BBQ Rub all over the butt covering all areas of the meat. Let it rest on the counter until you are ready to place in the smoker.
  • Once your smoker reaches your set temperature, place approxmately 3 chunks of smoke wood into the coals and wait 10 minutes before placing the meat on the smoker. This gives the smoke wood time to mellow and you will not get any harsh smoke flavors on your food. Smoke the pork butt for approximately 4 hours or until the internal temperature of the pork butt is about 160-170°F. Remove the pork from the smoker and wrap in heavy duty aluminum foil tightly. Place 1 cup of apple juice into the foil with the pork butt.
  • Place the pork back on the smoker in the foil and cook for another 3-5 hours or until the internal temperature is around 195°-200°F. (The meat should feel tender when inserting the food probe into it).
  • Place the pork back on the smoker in the foil and cook for another 3-5 hours or until the internal temperature is around 195°-200°F. (The meat should feel tender when inserting the food probe into it).
  • Pull the meat apart loosely and serve with warmed BBQ sauce.
