Ingredients

  1. 1 (7 to 8 pound) Boston pork butt
  2. 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  3. 4 ounces spice rub (recommended: Out of this World BBQ Rub)
  4. 1 cup apple juice or apple cider

Instructions

  1. Coat the pork butt with the mustard. Apply the spice rub all over the pork butt, creating a paste with the mustard. Place the pork, fat side up, in a preheated 225 to 250 degree F smoker for 10 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 190 to 200 degrees F. During the smoking process, leave the smoker closed for the first 2 hours and then spray the pork with a small amount of apple juice or cider every 2 hours thereafter.
  2. Remove pork butt from the smoker and let rest for at least 15 minutes before pulling apart.

I seasoned an eight pound boneless shoulder with garlic salt and black pepper. I put in refrigerator overnight. Using McCormick’s Chili Seasoning, I rubbed into meat.
Grilled shoulder 10 1/2 hrs on grill using charcoal and applewood. Meat was perfect! A friend said it was the “best he’d had since luau 23 yrs ago”. Everyone(10) raved over the taste.
THANKS,

This was good, but I don’t think I’ll use all yellow mustard when I try it again.

Just too “mustard-y” for my taste. More rub, less mustard.
