2 boneless pork shoulder halves (aka Boston butt) ~ 6lbs total<\/p>\n
Note: This recipe is for 6 lbs, and since most butts are ~3 lbs, the mop and rub recipes can be halved to do only a single butt.<\/p>\n
dry rub:<\/p>\n
3 T coarse black pepper
\n3 T brown sugar
\n3 T paprika
\n2 T kosher (coarse) salt
\n1 t cayenne pepper<\/p>\n
mop:<\/p>\n
1 c apple cider vinegar
\n1\/2 c water
\n2 T Worcestershire sauce
\n1 T black pepper
\n1 T coarse salt
\n2 t vegetable oil
\n1\/2 t liquid smoke (if not smoking in a smoker)<\/p>\n
Rub the butt with the dry rub and refrigerate for at least a few hours, or o\/n.<\/p>\n
Put butt in the slow cooker (or dutch oven) and pour mop over it. Cook on low (~300F) until your can pull the pork apart easily with a fork (probably >=5 hours).<\/p>\n
Alternatively, BBQ at 225-250F in smoker with hickory chunks or chips. Occasionally baste with mop. Smoke for 8-10 hours, or until the internal temperator is >190F. You can cover with foil after 5-6 hours to keep moist if desired (a maneuver called the “Texas crutch” that is often used for brisket).<\/p>\n
Take out, pull apart and remove fat. Mix in some of the juices if desired.<\/p>\n
