By This pork butt recipe is a classic and straightforward way to smoke a pork butt on a Big Green Egg. The pork butt is first coated with a mixture of yellow mustard and apple cider vinegar, which helps to tenderize and add flavor to the meat. A generous amount of BBQ rub is then applied, giving the pork a smoky and savory flavor. Apple juice is added to the disposable aluminum pan to keep the pork moist and add a touch of sweetness. The pork butt is then smoked for several hours until it reaches an internal temperature of 195°F, ensuring that it is fully cooked and tender. After resting for at least an hour, the pork is ready to be pulled apart and served as a delicious and satisfying meal.
