Pork Butt for Father's Day

[ForensicBBQ]

Hilarious - started my site about a year ago and I haven't done a pork butt post (embarrassing!)

The super-short version - Pellet smoker, 180-250 degrees (you can read why) - my homemade rub and sauce. (also did tacos at father's request - which turned into great Blackstone pork tacos)

Everyone loves pictures, so let me share a few:

Ready to tuck it in the night - Went about 14ish hours I think? Planned it for a 3pm serve

A lovely even bark all throughout.

And because I made those tacos - I only took ONE post-pull picture (bush league stuff, I know). I was busy while everyone was eating - we've all been there.

It was awesome finally getting into the kitchen and seeing so much of it already gone. Even had a taco leaning on the bone for the picture.

Feel free to read my story (stories) on pellet smoking @ forensicbbq.com. I love seeing y'alls smokes and cooks, so I'm just happy to share mine too!

Welcome to SMF!

Pork looks great!!

Looks like you'll have to be double posting. Over at your place and here!

There is so much information here I'm betting not too many people are going to go to every individual's website.

Welcome from to the Forum South Carolina's Thoroughbred Country. That is great looking pork that you could enjoy without anything else?! Thanks for the post. Keep them coming.

Welcome. Did you let it rest at all? I assume at 14 hours you didn’t wrap it? That bark looks perfect! Pulled pork is my favorite to smoke. You can get so many different meals out of one butt

no wrap - I did three for a party once - foil wrap, butcher paper wrap, and bare and no discernible difference - so now I just let it ride. I give it a half-pan rest in a towel/cooler until it's time for the pull. Anytime you see the claws - it's still too hot for just hands!

Didn’t even notice a time difference between wrapping in foil, butcher paper or no wrap?
