Taking a spin on the Weber Smokey Mountain, Grill Master Randy is out to smoke the best pork butt (Boston Butt/ Pork Shoulder) this side of, well, the Great Smoky Mountains. With the smoothness of a fine bourbon, our maestro of magnificent meats is here to stroll you through his personal recipe and the best practices for producing this outrageously impressive meal. Best part is, this one’s way simpler than you’d expect. Anyone who can reasonably run a charcoal grill can make this jawdroppingly tender pork butt happen with exceptional results. Paint by these numbers, and it’ll be just as tender as this one, guaranteed.
PROTIP: Zip ahead to roughly 7:30 on the timeline if you want to see our very own Arthurian legend pull the sword from the stone. While we’re on the topic, want to know why they call it Excalibur? It’s because that’s the old standard. The delicious mountain holding THIS blade upright is the new caliber of flavor. A smokey mountain, if you will.
