How did it turn out?
Awesome. I coated it in SPOG, smoked it all day to just over 200°, and pulled it. Very tender and great flavor.

I have been wanting to get into smoking and grilling this year.
This thread just fuels the fire!
Thanks for sharing.
Have you read through this before?

Now, for discussion: all the rendered fat from a smoked pork butt would make interesting shave soap if someone has the talent. Probably a nice bacon and smoke scent. What are the odds of that happening?
I bet the Weber kettle is good for this recipe, but probably harder to hold temps. Your pork butt venture looks amazing. Truly. Bravo.
Here's the madness I create:
Pork butt on a WSM (Weber Smoky Mountain). A fair sprinkle of Lowrry's seasoned salt and a mix of apple and cherry for smoke. Smoke it like you would a brisket, which means throw it on the smoker and forget you own it until the neighbors come begging for food. Take it off and pull it for sandwiches or ice cream topping...without the ice cream.
Also, if you're really frisky, you can throw a 5lb can of Bush's baked beans in the lower rack for the last four hours. Added smoke flavor goes well with the sandwiches.
Home grated slaw and a good beer or five and you have a meal on your hands.

It is harder to hold temps on the kettle, that is why I went with the pork butt. I would never attempt a brisket on that thing and to tell you the truth calling it smoking is probably a misnomer.
Have you ever seen these smoker controllers for kettles? There are several manufacturers, but they go over your bottom vent and control the amount of oxygen to the fire to regulate the temperature.

I have sen those and will probably get one at some point...but still not sure I would try a brisket on a kettle grill. Thanks for sharing!
