Ingredients.. fat side up in my WSM at 275 with cherrywood. Until the fat split. Sprayed with cider vinegar and hot sauce every hour
Then wrapped it tight in foil amd inserted my probes and watched them til the hit 205
Look at the bark. It's like a brisket.
I do my pork butts with the same seasoning and basically the same you you have mentioned in this post.
Though, when I foil it I give about a 2-3 floz sprinkling of whatever old wine I have in the fridge that has past the life for drinking but is fine for cooking. This is my extra moisture rather than spritzing every hour or anything else.
It comes out great. Also a word to the wise, if you cook and save for a reheat the next day to then pull, be sure to reheat it to about 170F IT on the reheat before pulling.
Looks great man! I typically just use salt and pepper on mine but I think tonight I'm going to add some chili powder and onion. Bout to throw it on in a minute so we'll see.
