Steps:
- *** After a generous rub all over the entire roast, cover with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge to marinate overnight! ***
- Variations: You can rub olive oil over your roast before adding spices to give it a bit more moisture, or use liquid smoke!
- Put a wire rack at the bottom of your large roasting pan, then place the Boston Butt Roast FAT SIDE UP on the rack, in the pan, and set on the counter.
- Preheat oven to 450° f, and let the roast come up to room temperature while the oven is preheating. Place roast UNCOVERED into your high temperature oven, and roast for a half hour. Then, turn it down to a 250° f oven temperature for the rest of the day.
- Turn the heat down to 250°f and let it roast uncovered till the exterior develops a "bark" or becomes dry and crispy, about 8 hours for a medium sized roast (about 6 pounds). Make sure the outside is good and CRUSTY... Most people think the "bark" or exterior of the roast is the best part, because that's where are the spices are!
- Then carefully remove roast from oven and completely wrap it in 2 layers of heavy duty aluminum foil.
- Return Boston Butt to the oven and roast at 250° till the internal temperature (at the deepest part of roast) reaches 200° f.

SLOW-SMOKED PULLED PORK (BOSTON BUTT)
This simple yet effective Boston butt recipe gives the pulled pork a mildly spicy and tangy flavor. The combination of smoke and moisture from the drip pan works very well for cooking the meat evenly and leaves plenty of juices within the meat itself. I've tried several different methods with Boston butt and this one is my favorite, as well as a favorite among my friends. Give it a try and see if you like it, and please don't be shy and leave some feedback! I usually serve with barbeque sauce and baked beans (throwing the fat chunks from the pulled pork into the beans to add a little extra flavor). Check out my Sweet and Spicy Cornbread Muffins recipe for a great side. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Mix brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, seasoned salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl to make dry rub.
- Coat roast with spicy brown mustard. Sprinkle dry rub all over roast and work it into all the folds and creases.
- Combine pickle juice and olive oil in a small bowl.
- Preheat 5 pounds charcoal in a smoker according to manufacturer's instructions until white and flaming. Distribute 7 to 8 large wood chunks over the coals. Place a drip pan on top; pour in beer and enough water to fill the pan most of the way. Close smoker; bring liquid in the drip pan to a boil. Place roast on top and close smoker.
- Smoke roast, turning every hour, until browned, about 2 hours. Baste roast with pickle juice and olive mixture. Continue smoking, turning and basting every hour, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 175 degrees F (80 degrees C), 2 to 3 hours more.
- Remove roast from smoker and wrap with aluminum foil. Let rest, about 30 minutes.
- Uncover roast and cut into chunks. Shred chunks into small strands; transfer to a large bowl. Squeeze strands with both hands repeatedly, mixing after each squeeze.

Steps:
- Soak your hickory chips for at least 8 hours.
- Place the charcoal on one side of the grill, place a pan of water on the other side (under the grilling rack). Fire up the coals, and spread them out once they are white and ashy (about 20 minutes). Place your grilling rack on the grill, and let it sit for about 5 minutes covered.
- While the charcoal is getting hot, saute the onion and garlic in butter in a medium saucepan until tender. Stir in the brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, water, Worcestershire sauce, lemon rind, lemon juice, hot sauce and chili powder. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove sauce from heat.
- Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, making sure it doesn't touch bone or fat. I usually just insert the thermometer after it has cooked a while to check for doneness. Place the meat (fat side up) on the grill over the pan of water (this will keep your meat moist). Toss some hickory chips over the charcoal to create some great smoke. Cover with the lid, and make sure the vents are open over the meat to draw the heat and smoke towards the meat. Cook over low coals for 3 hours, turning the roast halfway through the cooking time. You will need to add charcoal and hickory chips about every 30-40 minutes to keep the fire and smoke going. I slip them in the side and flick them over to the active charcoal with a tong! After cooking for 3 hours, baste the roast with the sauce. Cover and cook an additional hour or until the thermometer registers 160 degrees. Baste frequently with the sauce.
- Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve sliced with potato salad or cole slaw, or you can put it on sandwiches.
Tips:
- Choose a high-quality Boston butt roast for the best flavor and texture. Look for a roast that is marbled with fat and has a deep red color.
- Season the roast generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking. This will help to develop a flavorful crust.
- Braise the roast in a covered slow cooker with milk, water, and onion. This will help to keep the roast moist and tender.
- Cook the roast on low for 8-10 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender. The longer you cook it, the more tender it will be.
- Remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir in the barbecue sauce.
- Serve the pulled pork on hamburger buns with your favorite toppings, such as coleslaw, pickles, and onions.
