Hey y’all!! Thanks so much for stopping by and the comment! I really appreciate it, and your kind words of course! And of course thank you for the support! 🔥
Man, thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad you’re finding some value in my videos! That’s what it’s all about for me, so thank YOU for your support!
Just followed this method over the weekend. Got it done in 6hrs and rested in warm box for 4hrs. Every bit as good as any other pork butt I've done, but in half the time. Thanks! Never going back!!!
Always trust Darrin’s process! I ended up buying a Pit Boss for 4th of July and did this pork butt and a brisket according to your videos. They came out amazing. Real crowd pleasers. Since then I’ve also done your salmon. Your videos are so helpful for a smoking newbie like me. Thanks a bunch!
I've never been much of a like and commenter. But I've been using your videos and continue to go back to them for years now. Whenever I need a recipe I come to your page because you break it down easy and the food always comes out fantastic. WELCOME BACK
Haven’t had my pellet grill very long and this was my first time smoking anything. It came out absolutely perfect!!! I felt so confident and had so much fun after watching this video. Thank you
Hi Jessica, that is so awesome! I’m glad to hear you had success with this method, and I’m even more glad it turned out great!! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment, I really appreciate it! Happy smoking!
53 years old here in Minnesota. Love your videos. I’m doing this today with an apple rub combined with a honey bacon rub. It’s a great Saturday today here to do this and I can’t wait until later to try it. Thank you so much for this video. My wife and kids bought me a PitBoss Sportsman which is just awesome. Keep on smokin.
Darrin, that is money, brother. Great advice on checking internal temp. Love that you emphasized the importance of the feeling rather than the internal temp to ensure tenderness. Great job, brother.
Thanks Ryan! I definitely am an advocate for cooking by feel as opposed to temp! I’m glad you commented on that, and can appreciate. I really appreciate your support my dude, means a lot! Happy Friday bro! 🔥
Awesome followed exactly what you said did it for the Steelers game this is way better then they are everybody went nuts.Thanks first time I watched your video will be watching from now on. SMOKE ON
I have to thank you. I've made pulled pork a few times over the last year and this is the method I use. Takes me a tad longer but it might just be the size of the pork shoulder I get. So thank you for giving me the best pulled pork cooking process I've seen.
Thanks for your videos. I tried this today on a 7.5 lb pork shoulder. Took about 5.5 hours at 300 on my pitboss 1150 and came out real good. Oh man that bacon part is so 😋 yummy.
Today is the 7th pork butt I've done following your method start to finish. Its absolutely the best! Thank you for taking the time to create it. I'm confident I can impress with this video.
Do you use a smoke setting? I’m seeing that at 300 degrees on other videos that the Pit Boss doesn’t use a smoke setting because the temp is to high. My smoker is producing no smoke other than an itty bit from the smoke tube. Thanks :)
Hey! Thanks so much! I appreciate ya checking out my channel! You’re very welcome! Please let me know how it turns out for you! I always love hearing feedback! 🔥
Followed your recommendation and did a Boston on the Pit Boss at 300. Seven pounds in seven hours including the set and rest periods. Turned out great! I will continue this method. Thanks!
I did this exact method. Was a lil tight so i let or go for total 9 hrs. I used sucklebusters party rub and hog wallers.. delicious! You helped me start my whole smoking obsession. Thank you and keep doing what you do!
I am on vacation for the next 2 weeks and I am doing your recipe on this Boston Butt for the second time because the first time it was so good. I like everything about your video and the covering it with aluminum foil and adding the juice from the cookoff of the meat I feel set yours apart from the other recipes. Thanks again and God Bless
Thanks from Texas bro! I was on a 2 month job working nights and watched a few videos of yours and actually did my pork butt today the exact way you did here. My wife and I were very happy with it! Definitely subscribed 🤙🏻
My man, that was a thing of beauty. I often do pork shoulder here in Australia in my WSM and I’ve never really gotten that beautiful rich, dark mahogany bark. It always gets a decent bark but never quite as rich and dark in colour as I’d like, so I’m always in awe of blokes like yourself who manage to achieve that. Lately when I put mine in a tray and wrap it, I’ve been adding liquid (usually apple cider) but I noticed you didn’t add anything, so I’ll give that a try next time. Keep on pumping out these brilliant cooks brother, and you’ve got yourself a new subscriber. Look forward to seeing more of your work!
Geoff, thank you so much for your kind words and allowing me to earn your subscription. I love my WSM. Can I ask what you're using for a rub? Sometimes just switching rubs will help get that rich dark bark.
My man! Thank you so much for watching! I can’t wait to hear how yours turns out on your 1100 pro, be sure to keep me updated brother! Thanks for the comment, and have a great Saturday! 🔥
I can smell that pork through the computer!! Pork butt is my next venture on my Pit Boss. I just smoked a 30lbs turkey (spatchcock) yesterday and it came out awesome! Great video!!
I used your process today for my Wifes Birthday. I didn't want to smoke it all night on a new smoker so this worked out Great!! Thank you and I let her pull the pork she really enjoyed it!!
Thanks for taking the time to come by and leave this comment, I am so glad to hear it turned out well! Happy belated birthday to your wife, and thanks for the kind words!
I did this exactly and it was 💰💵💸 That fat separator is game changer I feel it adds a more Smokey flavor from a pellet smoker along with just a lot of flavor period. By far the best pulled pork I’ve ever made or eaten. Won’t do it any other way now 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Lawrence, thanks for the comment man! I could not agree more about the fat separator! It is amazing what that awesome jus does to the meat! Thanks for the comment brother!
Dude your technique is my go to on doing butts now . Great job on your video very easy and to the point . Keep up the great work ! Thanx fir sharing your knowledge
My buddy just got that exact grill. I helped him assemble it. Was thinking of getting one. But when we went to cook on it, it would not do 275. Only 250 or 275. Had to do 300. I like the middle shelf. It almost single-handedly makes me want to get the smoker for that reason. The way it slides in and out and is much higher off of the first grate. Amazing. Just don’t know if I can pull the trigger on a smoker that won’t cook 275... but man. That thing is so cool. Just feels solid, seals, everything you want. Oh and it leaked grease out the bottom of the fire pot.
Thanks buddy! Appreciate it a lot, and yeah man it was so dang tasty! Not quite the flavor of the SnS, but someday I’ll have one of them for myself too! Thanks for watching broski!
That's basically the way I do it on a WSM. I have tried a lot of different combinations of wood but enjoy Hickory and cherry or apple. That fat separator looks really cool wasn't expecting it to come out of the bottom. I always put the juice back in now I'm going to try that separator. Yes I subscribed and hit the bell.
Hey Ken, I love my weber Smokey mountain! They’re fantastic cookers! The fat separator is awesome for sure! Thanks for subbing and hitting the bell brother!
I have tried this and it is my go to recipe for smoking pork butt. Have done this several times during the summer time holidays and everyone loves it! Thanks!
Hey Darrin, I have 2 butts going on the pitboss 1150! Thanks for the show and tell! Can't go wrong with instructions!! Can't wait for your merch line!!!
Hey thanks Tommy! It was very tasty, and we’ve been more than enjoying the leftovers! You’ll love the separator brother, I’ve been through at least 10, but this one has held up for over a year! Thank you for your support buddy! 🔥
I’m really looking forward to a griddle video. The 1600 seemed to really struggle getting up to 400 degrees. Once it did, I left lid open and got it seasoned and cooked everything I needed to on the griddle without an issue, I did have the flame broiler open the entire time. Which is why I’m so surprised it took so long to get it up to the 400 degree temp with the closed at first.
It’s -14° here with a windchill of -30° today, once it warms up I’ll rock out the griddle video! Mine was slow to start a few times, but as I’ve been using it more and more, it’s definitely getting better. My advice is just do some dry runs in it, and it let it run for an hour or two. If you want it up to temp quick, you can always start on high too. It’ll get better though! I’ve heard of others having that same issue.
I just recently received a pellet grill from my work and I am constantly on your channel taking notes. Thank you so much I am actually gonna attempt my first ever smoked pork butt today.
I’ve noticed on your pull pork videos .You place the meat to the left of the grill and closer to the built in temperature probe. Is that so the meat is not sitting directly on top of the heat source on the bottom?
@@AshKickinBBQ... I'm trying ur method today for Superbowl. I spent so much money on the smoker, but have been intimidated to ty it out... You gave me the push I needed and I'd like to thank you again.💝
@@charlenegarcia5144 that’s fantastic! You’re so welcome! You got this! Please let me know how it turns out! Main thing to remember is make sure it’s tender! Let’s go! 🔥
@@AshKickinBBQ Hi Darrin! I sent you a picture on Instagram. I bought my pork butts at Costco and they were boneless... So now I know to buy the bone in. When I was poking around like you were at the end and areas didn't feel like Buttah.... I kept cooking it... In reality I think I was hitting hard parts... Do you think that regardless how it feels when I'm sticking in the digital thermometer, I should take it off when it says 204/205? When I took it off, it was saying 211. But everyone really liked it, it tasted good, was tender.. It just wasn't very juicy. But it was my first time, so I was proud (thanks to you) that I over came my smoker fear. I am DETERMINED to get good at this. I'm not trying to become a Pitt Master or anything.. I just wasn't to be decent... My next "feat" is brisket 😃😬🤔
Thanks for the video Darrin, trying this way starting very early tomorrow morning as I need it for 3pm. Doing a 12# shoulder at 225 would be a long cook.
@@AshKickinBBQ Forgot I posted this two weeks ago, so here is the update. The pork shoulder came out fabulous! I took it off at 150 (enough smoke), put it in an aluminum pan covered it with a little apple juice in the bottom of the pan, and raised the smoker to 270. Brought the shoulder to 180 and took it off, peeled the wrap off for 15 minutes to get the bark back, and let it sit for 45 minutes before slicing. WOW! This is how I will cook a pork shoulder to slice from now on. I have added the Big Kahuna Cold Smoke Generator for smoke since I was getting too much ash that I didn't want from using a smoke tube. Thanks, Darrin for the great videos, and keep them coming!
I have heard that the best spot for smoke tube placement is under the heat shield. Apparently it disperses the smoke more evenly. I've yet to test it myself though. Just putting it out there. Great vid!
Yeah, I’ve done it under before, and never really noticed a difference. But if it smolders out, it is a pain in the butt to relight it if it’s under everything! And thanks so much, and thank you for watching!
I've had good luck placing the smoke tube on the heat shield, but under the cooking grates. Seems to smolder out on low temp smokes (under 250⁰) if I leave it on top of the cooking grates.
I got the tailgaters bbq rub and the honey chipotle rub an they’re great! I don’t have the honey bbq rub though, would the honey chipotle bbq rub work instead?
I have two questions: 1. If my internal temp reads 205-210 by about the 5-6 hour mark. Should I take it off or leave it on for the full 7 hours? 2. Did you add ant bbq to this recipe or just the au jus for the pulled pork?
Once it’s tender, take it off. You’re cooking to tenderness, not time or temp. Those are guidelines. I added just the jus. You can add sauce if you want, but I let people do that on their own sandwiches if they want
@@AshKickinBBQ cool thanks for the info!! Edit: wanted to add that I appreciate the fast response because I still had the pork butt on the traegar. The pulled pork came out beautiful and delicious. It melted off the bone and was really juicy and tender. Thanks for all the help Darin. It was my first time using a pellet smoker. I’m gonna do brisket next for the 4th of July. Super excited. Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing! Will be attempting my first tomorrow, but due to time constraints for family party I will need to serve the following day. Do you recommend storing in frig. pre pulled, or whole? In juices, or keep juices to add following day? Refrigerate in foil pans, other container? Lastly, do you reheat in smoker? Thanks again for the great video!
Pull it, let it cool down, let the juices cool, add the juices back in and refrigerate. Store it in whatever you want. You can reheat in the smoker, oven, or crockpot. Reheat until hot at 250-300 in a foil pan, covered. (If not using a crockpot).
Thank you for the advice sir! I followed your instructions, and smoked two- 8lb pork butts on our new Pitboss, for our daughter’s baby shower. Completed the cook the day before, stored and reheated per your advice. It turned out great…it was the hit of the party! I’m looking forward to many more hours of smoker time this summer.

Great to hear!
Excellent. It's been great watching your channel grow...and you grow as a content provider.
Thanks for the kind words, I truly appreciate it
I have to say that saving the drippings and adding the au jus back is a game changer!
My 3rd smoke...and man..its like it gets better and better each time... thx for the vid....
Haha, it does get better and better each time for sure! Thanks for watching!
really loved how u did the pull pork

That fat separator is game changer I feel it adds a more Smokey flavor from a pellet smoker along with just a lot of flavor period. By far the best pulled pork I’ve ever made or eaten.
Won’t do it any other way now

My 1150 combo takes awile to get the smoker up to the 400's
250s relatively quick though
I made this today…AMAZING results.
Glad to hear it!
I just recently received a pellet grill from my work and I am constantly on your channel taking notes. Thank you so much I am actually gonna attempt my first ever smoked pork butt today.
I hope it turned out well! And dang, I wish I got grills from work, lol!
Just a thought could u cut the pork in half to get more surface area ie more bark and also reduce cook time?
You could definitely get more bark, it’s not really going to reduce the cook time though.
GREAT JOB DARRIN LOOKS SO GOOD
Thanks buddy! It was so good! I appreciate you watching! 🔥
❤ Awesome video 😊
I’m got to try this. Thanks.
Hope you enjoy, let me know how it turns out!
any difference in cooking bone in as opposed to boneless? I have 2 boneless ones i have to cook this weekend
@@gregscards2408 nah, I’ve cooked em both just fine the same way
I see urs has the flame broiler too. Is it better to close that when smoking ???
Yes, if should be closed when smoked.
Got my new Pitt Boss Pro heated and trying this video/cook today! Can’t wait to savor it! Will post results later.
I hope it turned out fantastic!
It turned out perfect! Highly recommend the video! Thanks for sharing the training for us all!

Congrats on your purchase Evan! I know you will love your Pit Boss! Thanks for the support and I'm glad I have been able to help!
Just watching the intro is mouth watering
Haha, thank you!
GREAT video!
Thank you so much!
Great job brother! I'm gonna give this method a try on my 1150 pro series.
I’ve noticed on your pull pork videos .You place the meat to the left of the grill and closer to the built in temperature probe. Is that so the meat is not sitting directly on top of the heat source on the bottom?
That is correct!
Trying this recipe right now for first Sunday night football dinner, can't wait
Awesome!! Gotta love football season!
Thank you!!! Looks Awesome... I'm Starving now 🥳👍
You're so welcome! Thank you for watching!
@@AshKickinBBQ... I'm trying ur method today for Superbowl. I spent so much money on the smoker, but have been intimidated to ty it out... You gave me the push I needed and I'd like to thank you again.💝
@@charlenegarcia5144 that’s fantastic! You’re so welcome! You got this! Please let me know how it turns out! Main thing to remember is make sure it’s tender! Let’s go! 🔥
@@AshKickinBBQ Hi Darrin! I sent you a picture on Instagram. I bought my pork butts at Costco and they were boneless... So now I know to buy the bone in. When I was poking around like you were at the end and areas didn't feel like Buttah.... I kept cooking it... In reality I think I was hitting hard parts... Do you think that regardless how it feels when I'm sticking in the digital thermometer, I should take it off when it says 204/205? When I took it off, it was saying 211. But everyone really liked it, it tasted good, was tender.. It just wasn't very juicy. But it was my first time, so I was proud (thanks to you) that I over came my smoker fear. I am DETERMINED to get good at this. I'm not trying to become a Pitt Master or anything.. I just wasn't to be decent... My next "feat" is brisket 😃😬🤔
After you take the foil off for a 15 minute vent, do you put the foil back on for the remainder of the rest period?
Yes
You don’t take the foil off, just open it
This is awesome D! That shred was perfectly effortless!
Thanks G! I was very happy with it overall! Such dang good flavor too! I appreciate you watching, and taking the time to comment bro!
Well done Brother!!!!
Thank you, Frank!!
Hey there does your temp drown when you open your lid on the 1600 mines does and idk why it drops when I sprits my meats
Yep, the temp will always drop when you open the lid. It should recover shortly after closing.
I’m making this for the first time ever on my pitboss.I’m just waiting for it to finish resting.13mins left..can’t wait!
It’s gonna be amazing bro!
@@AshKickinBBQ super juicy and good! For once my kids said i did a great job! Thanks ur video helped a lot!
What’s your smoke tube process and what temp does a tube need to ignite
You light the smoke tube with a torch and then put it in the smoker. The smoker temp is irrelevant
Thanks for the video Darrin, trying this way starting very early tomorrow morning as I need it for 3pm. Doing a 12# shoulder at 225 would be a long cook.
I hope it turned out well brother!
@@AshKickinBBQ Forgot I posted this two weeks ago, so here is the update. The pork shoulder came out fabulous! I took it off at 150 (enough smoke), put it in an aluminum pan covered it with a little apple juice in the bottom of the pan, and raised the smoker to 270. Brought the shoulder to 180 and took it off, peeled the wrap off for 15 minutes to get the bark back, and let it sit for 45 minutes before slicing. WOW! This is how I will cook a pork shoulder to slice from now on. I have added the Big Kahuna Cold Smoke Generator for smoke since I was getting too much ash that I didn't want from using a smoke tube. Thanks, Darrin for the great videos, and keep them coming!
Great Video. I do a few things different, but i liked what I saw. Thanks! New follower for sure!
Thank you so much for the support!
I have heard that the best spot for smoke tube placement is under the heat shield. Apparently it disperses the smoke more evenly. I've yet to test it myself though. Just putting it out there. Great vid!
Yeah, I’ve done it under before, and never really noticed a difference. But if it smolders out, it is a pain in the butt to relight it if it’s under everything! And thanks so much, and thank you for watching!
I've had good luck placing the smoke tube on the heat shield, but under the cooking grates. Seems to smolder out on low temp smokes (under 250⁰) if I leave it on top of the cooking grates.
I got the tailgaters bbq rub and the honey chipotle rub an they’re great! I don’t have the honey bbq rub though, would the honey chipotle bbq rub work instead?
It sure would, I use Party and Honey Chipotle now together on my pork butts. All my new pork videos feature it.
@@AshKickinBBQ awesome I didn’t see that you had a new video thanks!
Great video sir.
Thanks Jay! I appreciate that, and you checking out my channel! 🔥
That looks great. I will be smoking one Wednesday for Thanksgiving. I might try this method. Happy Thanksgiving and keep smoking!
Thank you Doug! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours too! I really appreciate it!
I have two questions:
1. If my internal temp reads 205-210 by about the 5-6 hour mark. Should I take it off or leave it on for the full 7 hours?
2. Did you add ant bbq to this recipe or just the au jus for the pulled pork?
Once it’s tender, take it off. You’re cooking to tenderness, not time or temp. Those are guidelines. I added just the jus. You can add sauce if you want, but I let people do that on their own sandwiches if they want
@@AshKickinBBQ cool thanks for the info!!
Edit: wanted to add that I appreciate the fast response because I still had the pork butt on the traegar. The pulled pork came out beautiful and delicious. It melted off the bone and was really juicy and tender. Thanks for all the help Darin. It was my first time using a pellet smoker. I’m gonna do brisket next for the 4th of July. Super excited. Thanks again!
Thanks for the video. What kinda cutting board is that. I’d love to not have a mess while seasoning.
Thanks for watching! Link to the cutting board is in the description! 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing! Will be attempting my first tomorrow, but due to time constraints for family party I will need to serve the following day. Do you recommend storing in frig. pre pulled, or whole? In juices, or keep juices to add following day? Refrigerate in foil pans, other container? Lastly, do you reheat in smoker? Thanks again for the great video!
Pull it, let it cool down, let the juices cool, add the juices back in and refrigerate. Store it in whatever you want. You can reheat in the smoker, oven, or crockpot. Reheat until hot at 250-300 in a foil pan, covered. (If not using a crockpot).
Thanks! Will give it a try!
Thank you for the advice sir! I followed your instructions, and smoked two- 8lb pork butts on our new Pitboss, for our daughter’s baby shower. Completed the cook the day before, stored and reheated per your advice. It turned out great…it was the hit of the party! I’m looking forward to many more hours of smoker time this summer.
