We make this smoked pork butt recipe every few weeks because we love pulled BBQ pork sandwiches. The pork just shreds apart after it's done, and the smoky flavor is incredible. It's best to brine the meat overnight to help it retain moisture during smoking, but it's not necessary. Serve the shredded pork on buns with your favorite sauce. It's an authentic pit barbecue right in your own house!

Ingredients

  • packed brown sugar: 4 Tbsp
  • ground New Mexico chili powder: 2 Tbsp
  • pork butt roast: 7 pound (fresh)
