costco hatch pork butt

[larroyo101]

Has anyone smoked a Costco hatch marinated pork butt or is it better in the oven

Smoking always adds that extra layer of flavor. If you can make it in the smoker, do it. If you can't it'll still be good in the oven.

If it were mine, I'd wanna taste the pork so I'd do a salt and pepper rub. It's already got flavor added to it so you won't wanna do a rub that contradicts the already imparted flavors. While complicated flavors work out regularly, keeping it simple in this case would be my preference. Your tastebuds may disagree.
Whatever you choose to do, don't forget to report back.

I bought one before the sale and I love hatch chilies. It's in the freezer right now I will smoke it when the time comes.

So far, our Costco doesn't carry them, I asked about getting them into our store, and the meat dude says it's just a matter of time until they show up. So I'll look for them until I find them, let me know how they taste. I'd smoke one plain, no seasoning, to see how they taste right out'a the bag. I bet they make great tacos, I want one badly.

What would you do differently for the next one or suggest to those seeking these particular ones? It looks great and I can only imagine it was tasty!

Maybe 260 instead of 275 and maybe try applewood instead of hickory but since it was my first time trying the Costco hatch I'm going to keep it the same next. it was definitely worth it to try it out

I'll look for them again today, thanks for the report.


I just got my order from Minors Bases a few days ago and one of the bases that I got is Pablano pepper base. I added some to beef broth for the wet beef, provolone, pickled sweet pepper, and onion sandwiches I made last night, and it's good stuff, can't wait to find more ways to use it.

Does the flavor make it so a finishing or BBQ sauce is not needed like you would with pulled pork?
