  1. 1

    Mix rub ingredients. Coat pork butt liberally on all sides. Let sit uncovered in fridge overnight minimum.

  2. 2

    Remove from fridge 1 hour before cooking. Set up smoker at 225F with apple wood.

  3. 3

    Smoke fat cap up for 6 hours. Spritz with apple juice every 45 minutes after the first 2 hours.

  4. 4

    When bark is set and dark mahogany (around internal 165F), wrap tightly in butcher paper.

  5. 5

    Continue smoking until internal temperature reaches 203F and a probe slides in with zero resistance, approximately 12 hours total.

  6. 6

    Rest wrapped in a cooler for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.

  7. 7

    Pull by hand or with forks. The bone should slide right out.

  8. 8

    Mix in any rendered juices from the paper. Season to taste. Serve on buns with slaw.
