How to Cook Pork Butt in the Oven | Pulled Pork in the Oven

[@johnw4659]

Looks absolutely delicious. A perfect way for an apartment dweller like me to have a summer cook-out !

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Exactly John! Too simple. Thanks

[@jasons.2082]

That's me as well I'm gonna try it

[@jasons.2082]

Looked at a few oven videos, usually use crock pot and it's good but I want it more like it's been smoked, your video seems to look the most like smoked

[@bowittman]

@@jasons.2082 oven is definitely better than crockpot. Stays too wet in crackpot and you can't achieve that bark. I use a mustard rub first with about a teaspoon of liquid smoke mixed in and smoked paprika. I put a little molasses in my apple juice spray. Papa Joe's instructions are on point however you choose to season.

[@oldsracer87]

Just made this today. My smoker would not stay burning. So I saw this video and tried it. It looks like I smoked it on my smoker. I did 2 for my family reunion tomorrow. Thanks for the video saved my day to make sure I had my pulled pork for my family reunion.

I've watched several pork butt videos on this site but yours is the one I am going to follow for my initial attempt at making one of these. Am going to watch your oven brisket video next, that looks amazing as well. Thank you!

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Thanks so much Josh, that's awesome to hear. Hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving.

[@alwaysatthefair]

Never made BBQ in my life. I used to make fake bbq by pressure cooking a pork loin then shredding it with a hand mixer and adding bbq sauce. NOW I've made two bbq butts from watching this video and they SLAP. My husband bought me two more butts to cook lol. Now I'm making BBQ for Thanksgiving! This video rocks. I even like to separate portions of my tray after done cooking, and freeze some of it. Just pop a bag out of the freezer if I know I don't want to do much for dinner that night, and boom, BBQ sandwiches. For the seasonings, I tried to get close to what he had in the video without buying new products. So reference, I had 14lbs of meat/ two butts, and I used restaurant style black coarse pepper and Old Bay seasoning BECAUSE it has celery salt in it and that "color". I was very unsure about doing that, but it came out so good. I used his suggestion of apple cider vinegar and water in a spray bottle. I used Sweet Baby Rays sauce as the "glaze".

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Wow! Your comment made for an awesome read. I love your tweaks to make the recipe yours. Thanks so much for watching and a happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

[@buschleaguers75]

I love hearing that! Congrats and thanks for watching Ryan!

[@Kman.]

I just brought home a pork butt after work, not knowing HOW I was going to prepare it, but thought of using wood chips in my oven as some folks have done. I wasn't wild on that idea for several reasons. I just watched your video, & while I don't have the exact seasoning that you use, I'm sure I can come up with a few from the pantry that should make it quite tasty! The *PROCESS* you went thru sold me, & it's either tomorrow evening we'll put this together, or for Saturday night. I plan on making pulled pork tacos with it. I got the sweet corn @ the store when I picked the pork up...already have some corn tortillas...got some vidalia onion, some cilantro, & some slaw, & it should come together real well. Thx for the video! **

I smoke meat every now and then. I’ve used electric smoker, off set smoker. Now I have just a Weber. Did a butt on the snake method the other weekend, turned out fabulous. Gonna try this. I’m a vinegar base sauce fan. So I threw together some sauce. The only thing I measured was apple cider vinegar (ACV) and ground mustard. Everything else was eye balled 1 cup ACV 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard 1/3 cup ketchup 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 5 shakes of the Worcestershire sauce 3/4 shakes of normal Tabasco 1 teaspoons red pepper flakes (bout 3 shakes worth) Boil, simmer. Need to purée/blend to mix the ketchup up. Reduce some more. Add more brown sugar.

[@mamaandpapajoe]

That sounds really good, I really enjoy making my own sauces here at the house. I'm not a fan of a traditional tomato based sauce. I'm going to give this a shot. Thanks

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Yessir a thanks for watching.

[@udmann1]

Very informative. Wouldn't it make sense to wrap first, then unwrap, so as to not diminished the color and caramelization of the crust?

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Great question Udman. Unfortunately, that color and carmelization (Maillard Reaction) requires time and water loss for it to happen. Wrapping helps the meat retain moisture which would then be expelled, preventing deep browing.
