🔥 7 Killer Tips for Easy, Juicy Pork Butt Every Time

Want mouthwatering pulled pork without the stress? In this video, I’m breaking down 7 killer tips that make smoking a pork shoulder simple—even if you’re just getting started.

Whether you’re cooking for your family or a full crowd, these tips will help you lock in flavor, moisture, and confidence.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

1️⃣ Let it cook — resist the urge to keep lifting the lid

2️⃣ How to recognize the stall (and why it’s totally normal)

3️⃣ Wrap in foil to collect those flavorful juices

4️⃣ Wait until after the stall to wrap — helps preserve your bark

5️⃣ Rest that meat — at least 1 hour, but longer is even better (cooler or 145º oven)

6️⃣ Shred it Sunday-style — mix in rendered fat + finish with rub & vinegar sauce

7️⃣ Understand final yield — pork butt loses about 50% of its weight during cooking

💡 Bonus Tip: Planning for a crowd? Use this rule of thumb:

👉 ½ pound of raw pork per person gives you a solid serving after shrinkage—and maybe some leftovers too.
