  • 1 (8-10 lb) bone-in pork butt

  • 1 Cup apple juice, for spritzing

  • Meat Church Honey Hog Hot BBQ Rub

    Trim pork butt of all excess fat. Cut area around the money muscle to expose it if desired. (You only want to leave it connected by an inch or so for easy removal near the end of the cooking process.)

    Season all sides of the pork liberally with Honey Hog.

    Place the pork butt directly on the grate, fat side down. Spritz every hour with apple juice. The beautiful, mahogany color will occur just before the butt starts to turn really dark. This should be around the 5 hour mark.

    After five hours, remove the butt and place it in a half steam pan. Apply a liberal coating of Honey Hog Hot then top with the brown sugar and pats of butter.

    Cover tightly with foil and return to the Traeger. If you want to separate the money muscle you will want to do that when it is between 190-195°F. Continue smoking the butt until it reaches 205°F.
