Title: Time for Pork Shoulder Butts
Post by: Old Hickory on October 15, 2013, 06:05:39 PM
Bought two boneless pork shoulder butts at Costco.

Seasoned up with OO rub, garlic salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder.

Into the Bradley for a long smoke/cook with hickory at 220*.

After 8 hrs. smoke/cook.  Here is one of them.

I cut each in half and double foil wrap and then into a large roaster.

Into the oven at 240*. 1 and 1/2 c water in the bottom of the roaster.

I chop the bark and mix well with the pulled pork.  Lots of good juice in the foil--save for warm-ups.

You can then plate with whatever you desire.  Two of my favorites are beans and greens, both home cooked and a nice salad on the side.  Oh did I mention?  I usually have a glass of red Cabernet wine with the meal.

Warms the tummy these cold nights.

Looks great. You got better barkage then I did this weekend. I had some left over PP a few minutes ago. I think the left overs are tasting better then the original. ???

The left overs are always great, especially if you saved some of the original juice for the warm up.

Great looking pork! Your spice pantry looks like mine - many Costco products :D

The pork butt from Costco is the most reasonable in my area, and the $1.85/lb is not too bad
