I smoked a Boston butt a couple of months ago. Turned out real good but all the recipes I could find were for "pulled pork". I just used a dry rub and smoked it for about 12 hrs.

Anyone got any ideas how to cook one just incase my wife brings another one home?

Some like a dry rub and some like a wet rub....I do both....Some BBQ sauce and Dale's.....let it marintate for a little while...then season with your favorite seasonings....I like Cavendars, Lowry's seasoning salt, a little paprika and chipolte seasoning....smoke it to about 145....wrap in tin foil til 160/165, then pull it off the smoker and let it sit for an hour wrapped up :lick: :lick:

I don't pull mine off until internal temp hits 190-195. I let mine sit for a hour as well, but I put it in a cooler.

I just put a pizza on the BGE. First time doing, hope it turns out.

My temp reference says pork is done at 170....I pull it off cause it will continue to cook for a little while after it's pulled off the coals..I'm talking meat temp, you talking cooker temp?

I liked my seasoning, I think I'll try wrapping it next time. Do you use a pan, like one of those disposables? Last time I just put it in the smoker bare. Turned out good but I know it can be better.

I've got the chicken, ribs, fish and steaks down to a science but roast and butts are still new to me.
