A Shredded Birthday (BBQ Pork)

[MichaelLC]

Friend was having a 50th birthday party so I smoked two pork butts, about 8lbs each. Used the TVWB Mustard Pork recipe, but swapped a West Indie Barbecue rub and some Sweet Baby Ray's sauce. Wanted just a basic spicy sweet flavor since it was a big group with kids. Daughter said the kids thought it was "triple bussin" which I think is good?


Ready to go.


After 14 hour smoke.


Made four trays. This was one from the fridge, so imagine the hot one looking a little better.

Much better than "double bussin" lol.

Looks insane Michael. Labor of love.

I'd call that 'triple bussin'. Looks darn good.

Wow those look way bigger than 8 pounders! Looks delish!

Thanks!

It was sold as a single 16lb Boneless Pork Shoulder Butt from Costco. I just cut it roughly down the middle and then tied them. Not sure if there was a natural separation, but prepping at 11:30PM so...
