Ingredients
- 8 lb bone-in pork butt
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- ¼ cup BBQ rub
Instructions
- Lay your pork butt down with the fat cap facing upward and pat the entire roast dry.
- Score the fat cap in a crosshatch pattern with a sharp knife.
- Use the mustard to coat the entire roast - this will act as a binder to help your seasoning stick to the meat.
- Season the pork butt liberally on all sides with the BBQ rub.
- Let the pork sit at room temperature while you preheat your pellet grill to 225°F.
- Place the pork butt directly on the grates of the smoker with the fat cap facing down.
- Smoke for 16-18 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 200°F and the pork butt is probe-tender.
- Remove from the smoker and let rest for 30 minutes, then shred and serve immediately.
