Mike's Boston Butt:

8 oz. molasses
12 oz. pickling salt
2 quarts of bottled water
6 to 8 pound Boston Butt

Combine above ingredients in a non-aluminum bowl so that meat is submerged and brine for at least 12 hours in refrigerator.
Remove from brine and add your favorite rub and let sit for another 6 hours.
Slow cook at around 250 degrees with Egg-deflector plate installed.  You'll want the internal meat temperature to reach 165 degrees.
I used Peach Wood chunks layered throughout the wood charcoal. Remember, to cook low and slow you'll need the charcoal to the top of the inner shell. I don't usually soak the chunks and you shouldn't have to add more during the cooking. Too much smoked flavor isn't good...I also don't spend time scraping the interior of the Egg because all the previous cooks add more flavor to each additional cook (charred goodness!). During the cooking process, I will usually baste with Carolina Red basting sauce that I make from scratch.

Remember, if you're lookin' you ain't cookin!

Enjoy!!

Nice.  I like the brine.  Have to try that.

Unwrapped for the entire cook?  I always wrap for the 2nd half and it improved my results consistently.

Wow I read right past that.

Is this for a slicing Butt?  I know slicers often cook to 165.

Most cook to 195+.

You're absolutely correct. My error...190 for pulled pork.

I wrap for the last 60 minutes after adding some additional seasoning then unwrap and cool for an hour.

Love it! Perfect for just a couple of chicken breasts or hamburgers.
