Smoked Pork Butt (Boston Butt) Recipe (exclusive)

This low-and-slow smoked Boston butt delivers the kind of fall-apart pulled pork that disappears fast at any cookout or family dinner. The simple homemade dry rub builds a deep, mahogany bark, and the step-by-step process walks you through everything, including the stall, so you can smoke your first pork butt with real confidence. No injection required, and no matter what you're smoking on, the process is the same. A pellet smoker gives you the most hands-off experience, but this recipe includes instructions for charcoal and gas grills too. Built specifically for beginners, this recipe also includes a make-ahead timeline so you can have everything ready before your guests arrive.

Ingredients: bone-in pork butt, salt, yellow mustard, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, coarse black pepper, chili powder, cayenne pepper, coffee, butter, apple juice (for daytime smoking)
