  • I smoked a pork butt aka Boston butt on my pit boss Austin xl. I smoked this pork butt at 250 degrees for 9 hours using hickory pellets. Smoking pork butts on a pellet grill is fun and easy. ENJOY!

  • @MXDRE907
    @MXDRE907 ปีที่แล้ว

    Fat side down is a good idea for a pellet grill to protect the meat from the heat source. Fat side up renders down into the meat and keeps it from drying out but you’d want a water pan under (the meat on a shelf)

    Nice video! Will be smoking my first pork butt this weekend. I've been smoking brisket but since price has gone high on briskets, I thought I'll give pork shoulders a try. Question: is mustard a standard ingredient for smoking pork butts?

    • @Nicks-BBQ
      @Nicks-BBQ  หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's just a binder. You can use olive oil or hot sauce. Binders are necessary if you're going to season and throw the meat on the smoker right away. It helps the rub stay on the meat and not fall off. When you season a big piece of meat its ideal to season then let it sit for 30 minutes for it seasoning to adhere

  • @pookei88

    I did a similar recipe on my 22" Weber. I normally use butcher paper. However, I used HD aluminum paper. Well, juices definitely pooled like a mother during resting (in my yeti knock-off cooler)...
    I pulled the pork, and added all the juices. It created a texture something like the Arby's arby-Q (no longer on the menu). The texture was WAY more tender...and almost too tender.
    Does anyone know if the variant for this was the aluminum foil or should I have only added...say...half the juices back to the pulled pork??? Thoughts? Suggestions.

    • @Nicks-BBQ
      @Nicks-BBQ  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Probably less juices back to the pulled pork.

    • @focused1music
      @focused1music ปีที่แล้ว

      Use an aluminum tray covered, which won’t spill the coveted juices. Then use a fat separator, and pour over pulled goodness to taste. Hope that helps!

    Do you ever put it on a rack over a tray with water?
    My first butt had all the fat run down and caught my smoker on fire 😭 was a greasy mess. Doing a second one and I added that tray under it. We will see if it does better.

    • @Nicks-BBQ
      @Nicks-BBQ  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Every smoker is made different. Mine has a tray underneath with raised edges that is slanted towards a grease bucket so I've never had an issue with fire. I've had two fires happen and one was just me not cleaning it out for a long time and then ran a hot cook. The other was me smoking 6 pork butts and 4 racks of ribs and my grease tray overflowed lol. Having a tray underneath isn't a bad idea. But I've never had it happen with just 1 or 2

    @IsaacFNghost 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Does your Austin XL seem to spike and hang way high in temp on initial start up? Earlier I started mine set for 300 and it sat at like 450 for a long time until i opened the lid and turned the knob down to 250

    • @Nicks-BBQ
      @Nicks-BBQ  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah you most definitely can. You could also use 50/50 water and apple cider vinegar. I'm not sure that I've tasted the sourness you mentioned. But I've never used anything else lol. I'll have to try something different and see if I can tell the difference.

      18.5 lbs?! HOLY COW. I have never seen butt that big wow. I have no clue on time but I would expect it to take a long time. Could very well be 12+ hour cook. Smoke it unwrapped until it has good bark and rendering fat. then wrap in foil or butcher paper until it gets to 202ish and then rest for a few hours. It will turn our bomb! Hope you have some hungry peeps to eat it with lol

    • @Nicks-BBQ
      @Nicks-BBQ  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      All the pork butts at the store will be around 8 to 12 pounds. I have no idea what size this one was or how long it took sorry for not including that. I filmed this probably 3 years ago lol. Lately I've been doing my butts over night. I smoke at 200 degrees overnight like 10 or 11 pm and I wrap when it gets nice and dark usually like 10 hours at that temp then I'll turn up to 225 or 250 (250 for the bigger ones) and it'll usually finish out a few hours before dinner and I'll let it rest on the counter for 2 hours or so. If it's a big one put it on at 9 or 10. Hope this helps.

    • @Nicks-BBQ
      @Nicks-BBQ  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't know how many hours exactly but long enough to sleep at night lol. I've smoked tons of brisket and pork butts overnight and it'll be mostly full when I go to sleep and there will be still several hours worth st the bottom. So maybe 12 hours to 16 hours? Depends on the outside temp too. If it's 0 degrees out you'll go through more.

      I just use the normal setting. Whatever is custom. I intentionally try to not film while the smoker is smoking a lot. Harder to see the footage and I don't like standing over the meat and talking while my eyes are getting smoked out. Also, if you were to watch your smoker it probably doesn't smoke 24/7. There will be a few minute period where no smoke is coming out.
