Total time
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 (3-5 pound) Boston Butt
- yellow mustard to coat
Caveman Blend:
- 4 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon ground white pepper
- 2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Mop Sauce
- ½ cup apple juice
- 1/2 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Make the caveman blend by combining all the spices listed in a bowl and mixing well (you will not need all of this, store the extra in an airtight container or ziploc)
- Make your mop sauce (only if smoking) but combining the ingredients in a spray bottle
- Apply a thin coat of mustard to your pork butt
- Generously cover the entire pork butt with the caveman blend
- Wrap the seasoned pork butt in plastic wrap or put it in a large ziploc and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours but up to 48
Smoker
- Bring your smoker or your BBQ to 225 degrees fahrenheit and prepare it to use indirect heat
- I use an electric wood pellet smoker so I just set the temperature after I added all of my hickory wood pellets
- Plan on smoking your boston butt for 60-90 minutes per pound or until it reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees fahrenheit
- Remove your boston butt from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before you plan to start smoking it to allow it to come to room temperature
- Place your boston butt on the smoker fat side up and plan on basting with your mop sauce every two hours until completion
- Once your butt has finished, either let it sit for 1 hour before pulling so you don’t burn yourself or use tools to shred it
- Serve with your favorite sauce or side and I recommend my Beasty BBQ Sauce
Crockpot
- Remove your boston butt from the refrigerator and place in the bottom of your crockpot
- Add 1/2 cup of olive oil and ½ cup of apple juice to the crockpot
- Cover and set on low for 12 hours
- Once done, shred with forks
- You can put the pork back in its delicious broth or serve with my Beasty BBQ Sauce
