The pork butt is one of those cuts that is relatively inexpensive but is oh so good when properly cooked low and slow.
Here’s my “go to” recipe for smoked pork butt which uses a flavorful injection and dry rub seasoning to really take the pork to a new level. When preparing this recipe, be sure that the pork butt you purchase hasn’t been enhanced (sometimes labeled as “moist and tender") as it has already been injected with a salty mixture at the factory.
