What's on the smoker today?

Just put a pork butt on before bed. Will be pulled pork sandwiches tomorrow and carnitas Thursday.View attachment 341548
Been talking about doing the same thing with guys from work. Grocery store had them on sale yesterday too! So I’ve got one in the freezer for maybe next week.

What’s your favorite way to do them in the smoker?

Dry rub, wrap in seran wrap and let sit overnight. Smoke at 225-250 for as long as it takes to hit 170ish internal. Spritz occasionally with 50/50 mix of apple juice/cider and apple cider vinegar. Then wrap and keep cooking until 200-205 internal. Take it off and let it rest, wrapped, in a cooler for a few hours. Pull it apart and enjoy with your favorite sauce for pulled pork, or crisp it up a bit in a cast iron for carnitas.

@Wildabeest pretty much nailed it. Only thing I've been doing different lately is using pineapple juice instead of apple. Also don't skip the rub and seran wrap overnight it really helps IMO. Found this one for just over $12 the other day.20240925_085137.jpg

We had them for .99/lb. but I have 2 already. You guys are making me want to get one out!
 
For some reason it hasn't crossed my mind to preseason and wrap.
Going to give that a try. Maybe a night wrapped and then an hour or so unwrapped in the fridge to dry the surface out a bit to promote bark? (I'm currently using a propane smoker and bark is hit/miss)

I actually put more dry rub on after taking out of the fridge overnight. Forgot to mention that.
