As some of you know, I am totally intimidated by the grill/smoker and outdoor cooking, Jimmy on the other hand is a master at it. I handled the rub and Jimmy handled the smoking. I would have to say, we made a winning team effort on this juicy, tender, and tasty smoked roast. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!

PORK RUB
1/4 cup smoked paprika

How To Make jimmy's smoked boston butt

Step 1

PORK RUB: Combine all spice ingredients; rub on pork. Wrap pork in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. NOTE: this makes more rub than what's needed for this pork butt. Store in air tight container for furture use. I always have a container full and ready.

Step 2

Prepare smoker with charcoal and add soaked hickory chips (or your favorite soaked wood chips) to top of hot coals. Heat should be about 250 degrees. You will cook/smoke 60 to 90 minutes per lb or until internal heat reaches 190 degrees on themometer. Add charcoal as needed to maintain steady heat.
Step 3

Every hour or hour and 1/2, open smoker and turn meat to ensure even cooking. Mop your roast with combination of beer and butter to keep it moist. NOTE: If you don't care to use beer, you could substitute with apple juice. Once done, remove from smoker, wrap in foil and allow it to rest about 1 hour.
