This will be my first time smoking anything. I just got a pellet grill and am going to do pork butt as a starter. The basics, to make sure I got it right:
- I couldn't find sufficient size, so I got 2 - 2.5lbs bone-in boston butt
- I will smoke at 225
- I am planning on it taking about 5 hours to reach internal 200 degrees
- I will do olive oil then a rub on the pork at the beginning
- I will place directly on grill, fat side up
- I will spritz with apple cider vinegar every hour.
Am I missing any critical steps?
Thanks in advance, I am doing this tomorrow.
