Low & Slow Pork Butt | Traeger Grill | Heath Riles

If you’re in the mood for gourmet food, try my Low & Slow Pork Butt Recipe. True to its name, this hunk of meat takes a while to reach perfection. Good things take time, including pork! I pulled out all the stops for this cook; injecting the meat, seasoning it, and wrapping it in a decadent butter bath. By the end of this recipe, you’ll be a pro at smoking meat. I recommend starting this cook in the morning or the night before so it can be ready for dinner. Serve it as is, or shred it for your favorite sandwiches. The possibilities are endless!

WHAT HEATH USED IN THIS RECIPE:

INGREDIENTS:
• Cheshire Pork Boston Butt
• Heath Riles BBQ Honey Chipotle Rub
• Heath Riles BBQ Pork Injection (1/4 cup for 1 butt)
• Apple Juice 20 oz, divided (12 oz for Pork Injection & 8 oz for Butter Bath)
• Heath Riles BBQ Butter Bath (1/4 cup)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Mix 1/4 cup of pork injection with 12 oz of apple juice to get ready to inject. You can use any liquid of your choice, we just prefer apple juice.
2. Use a grid-like pattern to inject butt.
3. Score fat on butt, we are cooking fat side up.
4. Season butt with Heath Riles BBQ Honey Chipotle Rub on all sides. Allow rub to sweat in for 15-20 minutes.
5. Put on Traeger Grill (or smoker / grill of your choice) fat side up at 225º. We used Royal Oak Pellets for this cook.
6. Cook butt for approximately 8 hours at 225º. Our butt was approximately 160º at this point.
7. Remove butt to wrap with Butter Bath (1/4 cup) and Apple Juice (8 oz.). Wrap foil tightly.
8. Return to grill, we set our probe to 200º.
9. We turned our temperature up to 275º and cooked for another 2 hours.
10. We had a total cook time of 10 hours, our butt had an internal temperature of 200º when we took it off of the grill.
11. Allow butt to rest for 1-2 hours.
12. ENJOY!

Never had a bad cook following your videos, thanks Heath!

Thank Malcolm grateful to have found your Malcoms channel i discovered awesome 😁

[upfrontracer]

That the real deal. Great guy. His stuff is definitely the best. I'm a big cooker. I have been cooking my whole life for the family not by choice, but by them. His stuff was my goto for years on BBQ now it's chicken and seafood with his wide selection of seasoning and baths. WOW

[NitroMedic]

Perfect timing! Just picked up a pork butt for the weekend.

[mitchellbedwell]

By far the best pork injection and honey chipotle rub ever made. The Butter Bath is the 💣! ❤️🐖🔥

[renzicfiles]

I like how he pulls the pork in its juice! I never understood the draining just to pour it back on.

[chipper]

Healths seasoning, rubs and bbq sauces have taken over my kitchen. Have not disappointed. Food is reborn again at my house and the taste is just amazing.

[mxbass]

Trapped a wild hog, fattened him up and bought your rubs and I'm smoking it now. Can't wait.

Picking up 2 butts tomorrow, have to see if my local shop has butter bath.

[tomevans]

[ryanbeckworth]

Followed this video and cooked our best pork butt yet! So tender and flavorful!

[AntsBBQCookout]

I started using a traeger since moving to TN. And I haven't been able to get pork butts to turn out like they did on my WSM. Going to give your method a try next time for sure, thanks!

[gromheat]

doing a pork butt for the first time today. I got baby back and spare ribs down to a science. I'm always nervous about messing up a decently priced cut of meat. thanks for the tips my dude.

[dekotaburdette]

I gotta stop watching these videos at night now I’m starving and trying to go to sleep

[ScottElmore-wq]

I would like to see a cooking brined porkchops video, since yo spoke of using the pork injection in a brine.

[jkemper]

Looks incredible. Just bought all your injections, bath and rub. Can I follow this exact recipe on the big green egg and just use charcoal? Or should I add a certain wood also?

[mikeyo]

When is it best to eat? I would like to make this at home and bring it to a holiday party. Should I refrigerate after or try to time it where it’s warm for the ride
