I have made 3 pork butts over the last month. Overall, they have all been quite juicy, but the flavor is lacking. If I eat it the same day, it smells smokey, but it tastes like a roast.
I made the second butt a day ahead of time, pulled it and put it in the fridge. I put the juice in a jar and put that in the fridge, too. The next day, I heated it all up, separated the fat from the "juice" and added it to the meat. This was night and day different from the first one. It tasted smokey and full of flavor.
Is this common, or am I missing something. I don't like a lot of finishing sauce, because the vinegar is very strong. FYI, I smoke it on a GOSM until it reaches 165 then foil and into the oven until it is done.
