Now, I am NOT the Green Egg person in our house. The Green Egg is my husband's thing. He loves the egg and has cooked many things on it…but his best is the Boston Butt (Pork Butt).
When we plan a party or have family over…Boston Butt on the egg is our go to meal. Why? Well, it's yummy, we can feed a crowd, and it's relatively easy.
And, if you are adventurous – make cornbread from scratch. Or, buy some bread and cut it up. Or serve rolls for those who might like a sandwich.
I buy the butts at the local grocery store. A butcher might be a better option. I am finding that the ones in the grocery store are a bit fattier than I would like.
Put your wood soaking chips in a bowl of water to soak overnight. Here are some GREAT options. My husband likes hickory chips.
Prepare your foil for the wood chips
Gather your oil and rub spices for the next day.
Day of cooking – remember, the butt cooks for 8+ hours:
Take the pork butt out of the refrigerator about an hour before cooking. This will warm it up just a tad so that the oil and rub spices adhere better AND the coldness does not drop the temperature of the Green Egg.
Place your smoking chips in a bowl of water and soak overnight.
INSTRUCTIONS:
About an hour before cooking take your butt out of the refrigerator.
Light your charcoal.
Drain your smoking chips and place in a little foil packet – poke holes in the top
Place smoking chips in the green egg.
Put Plate Setter on top – legs down.
Rub your butt all over with the oil.
Generously coat with your butt rub.
Place on the Plate Setter – FATTY side up.
Find, and maintain, a steady temp of 220º
Cook 8+ hours
1 HOUR BEFORE READY TO EAT:
Remove the butt. Place on a large dish, cover with aluminum foil, and let set for 30 minutes
Take 2 forks and shred. Remove the fatty layer on top and any other fat you might find.
Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce.
