Smoky Grilled Pork Butt Recipe

The Oscarware Roast & Rib Rack is the perfect topper when grilling a large roast, turkey or ribs. I grilled this recipe on my Large Big Green Egg Grill using Big Green Egg Lump Charcoal.

For this recipe, I am using two of my favorite rubs from my friends, Ben Kreple and Greg Fischer with Burn Pit BBQ.  Burn Pit BBQ is a veteran-owned company and their products are made in America. I love their “Fire for Effect” Sweet Heat BBQ Rub,” and their “Pop Smoke” Memphis Style BBQ Rub.” Both of these are available at Walmart and on their website.

Instructions for the Pork Butt

1. Twelve hours before grilling, score the pork butt on the fat side and always grill with the fat side down.
2. Completely rub down the pork butt with the Sweet Heat BBQ Rub. Let that set in for 45 minutes, then rub the pork butt with the Memphis Style BBQ Rub.
3. Wrap the pork butt tightly in aluminum foil and place in the refrigerator overnight. 
4. Take it out of the refrigerator an hour before you are ready to grill to allow it to warm up to room temperature.
5. Set the grill up using the Big Green convEGGtor for indirect heat. Place a foil pan half full of water on top of the convEGGtor. Pour a 6 ounce can of pineapple juice in the pan with the water. Place the grill grate on the grill and let the grill temp get up to 275 degrees.
6. Unwrap the aluminum foil from the pork butt, oil up your Oscarware Roast & Rib Rack, and load it with the pork butt.  The handles on the Oscarware Roast and Rib rack make it easy to carry food to the grill and to the table. (Be Careful!)
7. Grill the pork butt for 4-5 hours at 275 degrees or until the internal temp of the meat is at 165 degrees.  Then take the pork butt off the grill and wrap it up tightly in aluminum foil.  Place it back on the grill, keeping it on the Oscarware Roast and Rib rack. 
8. When the internal temperature reaches 204 degrees, take it off the grill and place it in a cooler for at least an hour to allow it cool down and rest before shredding.
9. Add your favorite BBQ sauces and topping and enjoy.  I recommend the Burn Pit BBQ Pogey Bait Sweet Honey BBQ Sauce.
10. Remove from grill, rest briefly, slice, and enjoy!
