I Made These While I Was Sleeping! UNREAL Pork Butts On A Pellet Grill.

On today’s video, I’m showing you how to make the easiest, overnight pork butt you’ve ever made in your life! For this pork butt, we’re firing up the Traeger with hickory pellets, but you use whatever cooker, and pellets, you want, just make sure it’s ready to run at 225°F overnight. This video is perfect for beginners that are looking for an easy pork butt recipe. First, I’ll show you how I do a light trim, then we’ll apply a mustard binder, rub it up, and set it on the smoker. And, if you don’t want to trim the fat off, you don’t even have to do that! Seriously, it doesn’t get much easier than this smoked pork butt recipe. Even though we aren’t injecting these pork butts, I’ll tell you what I would use if we decided to. And make sure you’re paying attention because I’m showing you exactly how to rack these pork butts for the perfect smoke. Plus, if you’re smoking in the cold, I’ll tell you how I maintain the perfect temperature in my smoker. Once you’ve got the pork butts perfectly placed, shut the lid and don’t touch them for at least 12 hours. When that time is up, I’ll show you how to check the temp, get the perfect wrap, and we’ll finish up the cooking process. Once the pork butts are complete, we’ll shred it, make some killer sandwiches, and what doesn’t get eaten, we’ll store for later. Enough talking, let’s get to cooking.

I put mine on at 6pm at 170. Get up at 6 am and put it in an uncovered tin pan and crank it up to 225 to finish it. Once done there will be plenty of juices still in the pan. I cover it with tin foil and put it in a cooler with old towels until it’s time to eat. I pull it right in the same pan and it absorbs all the juices. Fail safe and works every time!

[@KosmosQ]

[@rob1621]

When you initially put it on at 170, is it already in a pan or on the top rack with a pan underneath catching the juices?

[@spurtzbum]

Great video..I do mine just about the same..it's so easy..over night cooking is so easy.. I actually let mine sit in a cooler wrapped up for about an hour and 1/2 then pull it apart .

[@safecracker5458]

Love your videos. Here is a tip on vacuum sealing wet juicy foods. I fold up paper towels to make like a 1 inch wide long strip the length of the vacuum bag opening. It stops the juices from pulling out of the bag and running the risk of not sealing or leaking juices into the sealer.

[@dustyhudson5840]

I like that.... I have been putting the meat in the bag and pop it into the freezer for an hour and then pull it to seal it... usually the juices have solidified by then

Awesome! I need a vacuum sealer. For now, I rest the butts still in the foil and retain the juices the best i can. Once it cools a good bit, Into a 2 gallon ziplock it goes, get air out best i can, then freeze the whole thing. I can cover in a pan and warm on 200° when i wake up (from frozen) and at dinner i can pull it just like it came off the smoker 👌🏻

Great video for starters. I give newbies very similar advice. I know when I vacuum seal, I'll put them in a bag and let the temp come down before I seal. I might be doing it wrong 🤣🤣 I need the Double Pepper in my life. I have been making my own rubs, but everything I have gotten from you.

Excellent! For us pellet grill noobs, with the butt elevated (😏) does it matter whether it’s cooked fat side up or down? Thanks.

[@allieandbo]

@@robertjason6885 I always trim the fat cap off so I can get rub on the meat but if it were on, it would be down.

[@Benfishin97]

Awesome stuff as always! One question sir - Why not just leave the butts in the pan and cover with foil when wrapping? Do you find that fully wrapping in foil yields better results?

[@joe_ferreira]

He added a 1/2 cup of water to each side. Wrapping helps keep that liquid closer to the meat and absorb.

Wet foods I place in the bags, then into the freezer before sealing. We do this all the time with leftovers. Soups, casseroles, stock, meat etc. I'm going to try a bone in butt overnight in my Weber Smokey Mountain next week. I'm going to leave it in the smoker until the charcoal runs out, then wrap and finish in the oven.

[@Bean-sz7sr]

I also normally smoke a extra butt when I do a cook and I vacuum pack a couple bags for a quick weeknight dinner. I have had a time or two where the juices caused a problem with the seal so I started rolling up a napkin and putting it between the seal and the meat. I haven't had that issue again! 👍🏼

[@KosmosQ]

👊🏼💥

[@patburt9558]

This is exactly why I bought a chamber vacuum! All that juice from the pan and foil goes into a fat separator. The fat gets tossed, the juice goes into the vacuum bags with the meat.

What’s the best way to reheat after vacuum sealing?

[@KosmosQ]

I either do it in the microwave, poke some holes in the bag first. Or dump the meat in a skillet with a tad bit of water for steam only.

Any downside to cooking the meat in the oven after you wrap it instead of back on the smoker? It seems like a good way to save pellets.

You won't get the full smoke flavor, but if that doesn't matter to you, you can do it that way

Question, putting warm food it in cold water is the same as putting it in the freezer when it’s warm isn’t it? Why not just wait till it cool to seal it and then place it in the freezer. Am I missing something?

You can wait until it's cool, doing it while warm is mostly for if you're short on time

I put my pork butt on late at night around midnight at 225 or 250 degrees. Generally wrap it in the foil catch pan around 175 internal temp until a temp probe goes in like going thru soft butter. Generally takes around 13 or more hours. Wrap it in a towel and place it in a cooler for at least an hour. It can stay in the cooler for literally hours that way. Then pull it when it’s time to eat and pull the pork. Mmmmm. Very Ez!!!

[@Cerberus9408]

@@KosmosQ it doesn't such the juices up out of the bag like what happened there and you get a much tighter vacuum IMO. You can vacuum seal liquids like soup. You can vacuum marinate things. The bags are cheaper. I have an oil less one from Meat! Your Maker. It's fantastic and has a lifetime warranty. It is larger than the one you have. Basically you put the bag in the chamber, close the lid and it vacuums all the air out and seals the bag under vacuum. Once it's sealed it lets the atmosphere back in and the bag sucks down super tight instantly.
