Pulled pork would have to be one of the most common BBQ dishes and using a pork butt is one of the most common cuts to make pulled pork!

In this video we'll cover off how to trim the pork butt, we'll season it, we'll go through the BBQ set up and much more!

Here are some reference points below:

- Trim excess fat from your pork butt down to 2-3mm thick.
- Set your BBQ up to run at around 275F/135c
- Smoke your pork butt until the bark looks nice, you have a deep rich mahogany colour and the internal temperature is around 160F/70c
- Once the above has been achieved, wrap in foil with some fruity liquid
- Continue to smoke until around 200F/93c internal and then check for probe tenderness
- Probe tenderness is key, if it doesn't feel right, let it keep smoking until it does feel right. Sometimes pork butts can go up to 215F/101c before they are right, however some may be right at 200F/93c.

Just finished my first brisket last night after 10 hrs of work. I never would've even attempted it if it wasn't for your videos. Thanks for the great info and easy to follow videos and even replying to comments. Awesome stuff mate 👍

Have just finished my first smoked pork butt thanks to this video, rushed down to get the 5.5kg pork butt after watching the video this morning, fired it up in the little Oklahoma Joe's Smokers Rambler and it was absolutely hands down magnificent and as close to any of the store bought pulled pork I've had. Thanks a lot for putting together this video, straight forward and easy to follow with outstanding results and ticked all the right box's for me.

The rub recipe i used on mine is as follows;
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1/8 cup Kosher Salt
4 tsp Onion Powder
2 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Cumin Powder
2 tsp Cracked Pepper
1/2 tsp Fennel Seed

Another great video, good to hear you are releasing a pork & chicken rub. Have bought both the garlic goals & steak shooter rubs, both are really prime so no doubt the new release will be just as good.
