Smoked pulled pork gets the full low-and-slow treatment here, with an easy pork butt recipe built for big bark, juicy meat, and plenty of smoke flavor. The cook starts with an apple juice injection mixed with Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and barbecue rub, then gets layered with Na11 Everything Premium Rub and Skull and Mortar rub before going on the smoker overnight.

The pork butt is cooked on a Char-Griller Gravity 980 at around 220 to 225 degrees, wrapped in foil at 165, then finished at a higher temperature until it reaches about 205. After a two-hour rest, the bone pulls clean and the meat breaks apart with a great smoke ring, solid bark, and moist texture that makes for classic pulled pork barbecue.

It is a straightforward smoked pork butt tutorial for beginners and backyard pitmasters who want an easy barbecue guide, overnight smoker recipe, and no-fuss pulled pork method that actually delivers. If you are looking for smoked pulled pork, pork shoulder on the smoker, easy BBQ recipes, or a beginner-friendly barbecue tutorial, this one covers the whole process from seasoning to shred.

00:00Yo, I told you guys last week after using the NA Everything Rub that we were going to
00:04do a pork butt with it this week, so that's what we're going to do.
00:07Pork butt 2000, hey, it doesn't matter what year it is, this is Evergreen, baby, let's
00:11go.
00:17Guys, guys, we got a cup and a half of apple juice.
00:23We're going to hit it with about a tablespoon or maybe slightly more of Worcestershire sauce.
00:29Finally, we're going to hit it with that same amount roughly of soy sauce.
00:33It doesn't have to be perfect, just get it close.
00:36If you need it to be perfect, just do a tablespoon of each, it doesn't matter.
00:39Next I'm going to pop open my skull and mortar rub and I'm going to put roughly a teaspoon
00:46or so in there.
00:47And the next thing, this is very important guys, don't be dweebs.
00:54We're going to hit that with a little whisk action, just to try and mix it up some.
01:00When we're done whisking, we're going to shoot like a LeBron, oh, spoiler alert, it popped
01:06back out of the sink.
01:08Guys, we're just going to proceed to inject this.
01:10You want to go about every inch or so.
01:12So, use as much of your, what in the hell, what in the name of God.
01:19There we go.
01:20Finally.
01:21Lord.
01:23So now you just kind of want to pump it in until the, you want to push it in until
01:27the injection
01:28kind of starts coming back out.
01:29You can see it bubbling a little bit over here, but we're fine.
01:39Guys, we got that injection working.
01:41So now we're going to go ahead and we're just doing basic, that's it, man.
01:47Get that NA 11 everything premium rub.
01:54I really want to hit this hard, so I'm going to go with the big side.
01:59This is a dangerous game we're playing here.
02:02Now, you guys know I like to layer flavors, so I'm also going to go back over it with that
02:06skull and mortar, that skull and mortar barbecue rub, just on the top though.
02:11Other than that, the NA 11 everything rub is the main event, so that's all we're doing.
02:16I'm going to take this, I'm going to put it on my chargriller gravity 980 at 220-ish degrees.
02:22I might drop it down to 200, but my goal is to cook this all night.
02:27So we're going to put it directly on the racks and we're just going to let it cook.
02:30We wake up in the morning, we're going to wrap in foil, just because I haven't done that
02:33in a while.
02:33I've been using butcher paper for the longest.
02:35So we're going to wrap in foil and see what happens.
02:38Let's frickin' go.
02:41A rick of bamboo, I'ma move for the kill.
02:44A rick of bamboo, I'ma move to Brazil.
02:46Got the brutes in the click, got the juice, got the drip.
02:50I'll be outside, I'll be polite.
02:51I want to fight, I want a can of the dry.
02:53Somebody lied, look if they tried.
02:55Everything think that you resigned.
02:56I'm out of my mind, find me some lames and knock them down one at a time.
02:58I'm on my prime.
02:59Anyways, look at the time.
03:01I've been through some shit, you just can't block it out.
03:03I'ma hop out, run them jewels empty them pockets out.
03:06You got a problem, bro, we can talk it out, after I'm done fightin' with the cook at the
03:10Waffle House.
03:11I'm about to break in and steal all your shit, I'ma cut though.
03:15Let's go, let's go, let's go.
03:17With a dash of strong love and maybe just a pinch of some muscle.
03:21How can you hit me one time?
03:24Want smoke, then you got the wrong guy.
03:26Behind the scenes, I know you grumpy, don't lie.
03:29Uh, uh, I'm other all right.
03:32Uh, can you hit me two times?
03:34Want smoke, then you got the wrong guy.
03:36Behind the scenes, I know you grumpy, don't lie.
03:39Uh, uh, I'm other all right.
03:42I'm in my bag like a lunch, got the swag, got the funk.
03:45Would you pass up the blunt, live it fast or funk?
03:48Whatever you wanna do.
03:49Woo!
03:51Skalooots.
03:52Yeah.
03:53I'm in my bag like a lunch, got the swag, got the funk.
03:56Could you pass up the blunt, live it fast or funk?
03:58Whatever you wanna do.
04:00Woo hoo.
04:02Skalooots.
04:06Guys, it has been well over 20 hours and I know that I look rough as possible right
04:12now.
04:12For God's sakes.
04:13I look like I've been hit by a truck because, well, I wasn't hit by a truck, but it sure
04:19feels like it.
04:20So that being said, let's bust this thing open.
04:23Let's see what we're dealing with.
04:25Just to kind of recap, right?
04:26We hit it with that NA11 everything rub.
04:29Then we hit it with some spell and mortar rub.
04:31Then we put it on the smoker at 225 degrees all night.
04:37We wrapped it in foil at 165 degrees.
04:41From that point, we up the temperature to 250 degrees on a smoker and we let it finish itself
04:50out.
04:50First off, let's do the bone test.
04:52Is it clean?
04:56Absolutely it is.
04:58Excellent.
04:59Look at this.
05:00We got a great bark on this here.
05:04Fantastic.
05:04You can tell we got a smoke ring in here, so we got a decent smoke penetration.
05:10Look at that.
05:12Just disintegrates.
05:14Now, once we got it foiled, we took it all the way up to 205 degrees.
05:18We let it rest for two hours after we pulled it out of the smoker.
05:21But here is the important part.
05:23What does it taste like?
05:30It's fantastic.
05:31It's moist.
05:32It's delicious.
05:36You can taste that smoke.
05:40Let's get a good piece of bark here.
05:44Excellent.
05:46Couldn't be easier.
05:49It really could be easier.
05:51This is an excellent recipe for somebody who's just starting out with barbecue.
05:55Maybe you just got a smoker and you just want to try it out, man.
05:58You just want to see, like, can you smoke?
06:00Start with the pork butt.
06:02Do this right here.
06:05Look at it.
06:06It's freaking perfect.
06:06I don't know what else to say.
06:07It all feels like self-service at this point.
06:09You know what I mean?
06:11Don't mind if I pat myself on the back like Barry Horwitz.
06:13You know what I mean?
06:16There it is.
06:17I'm going to eat this.
06:19Whole pork butt.
06:20Just kidding.
06:20I'm going to take a shower.
