To simplify it?
Without hanging it? ( NO Clue, never did it ?)
Dry brine yur meat and place it in a ziplock bag, into the fridge over night.
Grab a drip pan and rack it above it.
Add Apple/ cider juice : Half inch to pan.
I cooked @ 250 ish ?
Add water later if needed during yur cook ?
Can Spritzt or baste it.
Pull when its @ desired Temp. Not sure what Temp?
Rest it covered up with foil.
Pull pork for Samys, Add BBQ Sauce as needed ?
Some like it dry or add BBQ Sauce ?
I have done it a few times on my Gasser grill, indirect heat.
IMO: Hope it helps ?
Enjoy ! ELF.

A good Chile Colorado with pork, comes to mind if you can get your hands on some dried chili's.

Carnitas are one of my favorite ways to cook butt. Ill make some fresh flour tortillas to make tacos with it. You remined me about puerco pibil, ive never made it ever but its one of those southwest type dishes i would enjoy. Traditional smoked pork would make a great pozole, maybe have to use part of it for that!!
I like to make texas red with beef, ive never tried pork. Grocery store always has dried chilis but at around $4 a pack i only make when i have a serious craving. True red sauce needs a lot of chilis, no tomatoes here!
Thanks for all the ideas, right now burnt ends is the front runner!
Country Style Ribs is an option. Or cure it first, then make your burndt ends!
yes that sounds fantastic. Im a long time meat curer but whats typical for burnt ends? A brown sugar/salt cure with some pink salt? Ive got some leftover salmon cure from this site sans pink salt i could use up.
So figured out what you all meant for those burnt ends, and while its now my next plan im going to use the full cut for a full cut style cook. Country ribs always seem to be cheap or on sale vs the whole butt, so maybe next weekend.
Now i think im going for a cure then a traditional smoke. It's my first of the season so guess ill keep it simple. Any ideas for the cure? Butt is almost thawed but its a short cure time. I could do a wet cure and inject it?

Ok heres the pre pic, updates on monday. Did a basic ham/canadian bacon cure of...
1/4 cu salt
1/4 cu brown sugar
1/2 tsp cure #1
and a twist with 1 Tbsp sucklebusters rub, Ill add more hucklebusters on smoke day.
Its a 3lb 12oz joint so should have enough time for cure to add flavor. Since its dry rub and not a lot of cure it should still have some porky flavor and not be full on canadian bacon.
