Pork Butt Afternoon

[MrHoss]

Had a hankering for some pork butt so I picked up a small boneless roast last night and rubbed it down after applying a thin coat of light olive oil.  The rub consisted of salt, pepper, mango/chipolte powder, granulated garlic, ground up dehydrated onion, brown sugar, smoked hot paprika, sweet paprika and a blend called Moroccan Road that contains coriander, cumin, cinnamon and mint.  This afternoon just before hitting the grill:



I kept the lid temp around 300f and smoke clean through most of the cook.  With oak and pecan on top of the lump I had the top vents 70% open:



And bottom vents barely open:



Me and one of the dogs:



I cooked the butt fat side for 3 hours then flipped it fat side down for an hour.  I then put the meat in a pan fat side up without foil for an hour.  The pan was then foiled till the butt probed like butter...in this case 196f.  I then removed the foil, killed all the vents and applied a glaze to the butt.  The glaze was a Mixon knockoff that consisted of cider vinegar, bbq sauce, hot sauce, salt, pepper, corn suryup and crab apple jelly.  The glaze set in the cooling Kettle for about an hour.  Done:



Pulled:



The hog glaze from Mixon's book was quite good.  Gonna have to do that again.
