Ingredients

  • 5-7 lb. Pork Butt Boston Butt, Pork Shoulder
  • 1/3 c Dry Rub
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • Wet Sauce - your favorite barbecue sauce from the store - get a variety for guest. Some like sweet some like spicy.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  • Start by rinsing your pork butt and dry well with a paper towel. Sprinkle with the dry rub and kosher salt well on all sides and rub it into that pig! Make sure you keep a mental note of which side the fat side is on at all times as you begin to wrap the pork butt in foil. Wrap it well with several pieces of foil to make sure it's air tight.
  • Place the wrapped pork butt, fat side up, into a roasting pan. Place in your preheated 375 degree oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven temperature down to 225 degrees and cook another 10-12 hours.
    Once your cooking time is over, unwrap and pull the pork apart.
