Cooking for 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1 pork butt (6–8 pounds)
  • favorite or homemade pork seasoning
  • coarse mustard

1 Food Prep

  • Coat your pork butt with coarse mustard as a binder, then follow with your favorite pork seasoning. Keep in mind that pork is naturally salty when choosing your pork seasoning.

2 Grill Prep

3 The Cook

  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

  • Smoke your pork butt for 6 to 8 hours at this temperature. Add coals when the flames begin to decrease and temperatures dip.

  • Avoid lifting the lid of your grill if you’re not adding more coals or checking the internal temperature of your pork — this lets valuable heat escape and burns coals out more quickly.
  • Using a digital instant-read meat thermometer, check the internal temperature of your pork butt while it's still on the grill. Once it reaches an internal temperature of 195–200°F, remove it from the grill then shred, serve and enjoy.
