Tips on Smoking a Pork Butt
- | Our Pit Mater Recommendations
1 You can wrap the pork butt to keep juices from running out or you can cook uncovered which will make the outside layer crust over. Both work well, just depends on your preference. 
- 2 Using a meat thermometer with a probe really helps to reduce the time you open up your smoker and alarms at the temp set point you choose.
- 3 Optionally you can use a mopping sauce once or twice though the cooking time. Keep in mind the more you open up the smoker the longer it's going to take to get the pork butt to the desired temperature.
4 I recommend using a boneless pork butt to make life a little easier
