New to BBQ and smoking meat? This Smoked Pork Butt on the PRIME300 Pellet Grill is for you. Serve on sandwiches, nachos, tacos, or enjoy it straight from the plate.
Ingredients
- 1 pork butt (bone-in preferred)
- Your favorite BBQ rub (e.g., Kosmos Q Honey Killer Bee)
- Apple cider vinegar (for spritzing)
Directions
Season the Pork Butt:
Rub the pork butt all over with BBQ rub. You can do this the night before (for more flavor) or just before cooking.
Smoke the Pork Butt:
Preheat your pellet smoker to 250°F.
- Place the pork butt directly on the smoker grates.
Spritz for Moisture:
After 90 minutes, spritz the pork with apple cider vinegar.
Continue to spritz every 45 minutes to keep it moist and build a beautiful bark.
Wrap to Finish Cooking:
Once the bark looks deep and rich (usually around 4-5 hours), transfer the pork to a foil pan and wrap tightly with foil or butcher paper.
- Return it to the smoker.
Cook to Temperature, Not Time:
Continue smoking until the internal temperature reaches 207°F (use a meat thermometer).
Rest the Meat:
Remove from the smoker and place the wrapped pork butt in a cooler to rest for at least 1 hour.
Unwrap and shred the pork with forks or meat claws.
