'It's So Good You'll Slap Your Mama' Smoked Pork Butt
Ingredients
  • 10 pound bone-in pork butt
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • dry rub seasoning (recipe follows)
  • pork injection (recipe follows)
  • 32 ounce chicken stock
  • 2 cup apple juice
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup your favorite barbecue sauce
  • 2 tablespoon barbecue dry rub seasoning
  • 2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 3 tablespoon onion powder
  • 3 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
Directions
  1. Preheat smoker to 225 to 250 degrees F. Trim excess fat from the pork butt. Use a seasoning injector to inject the pork butt evenly with as much of the injection liquid as the butt will hold. Rub the outside of the pork butt with yellow mustard then completely coat the butt with dry rub seasoning. Place the seasoned pork butt on the smoker, cover, and allow it to cook for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes per pound until it reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees F and/or the shoulder blade bone pulls away cleanly from the meat. Remove pork butt from the smoker, pull or chop the meat, and serve with or without your favorite barbecue sauce.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and warm over medium heat until the dry rub seasoning has completely dissolved. Remove the injection liquid from the heat and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes until completely cooled.
  3. Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl and set it aside until ready to use.
