1. Place your Boston butt on a flat plate or chopping block and spread the yellow mustard over its surface. Be sure it gets to all areas of the meat, and then pour a generous amount of your rub— homemade or store-bought— on all corners of the meat.
2. As we previously stated, it is more advisable to let your seasoned Boston butt rest on the counter for about 30 minutes, and you can use this time to set up your grill if it hasn’t already been set up.
3. Place your pork butt on the grill rack after your grill has been lit and close the lid.
4. Spray your meat with red wine, vinegar, and water every hour to add some moisture to it. Add some extra charcoal if necessary cause you’re going to be cooking that meat for a couple of hours.
5. When your pork butt is getting tender, take it out and spray it some more with your mixture to prevent the moisture from drying out. Add more rub to your pork butt and wrap it up tightly with a foil.
6. Place the wrapped-up pork butt back on the grill. After about an hour and a half, stick a thermometer into your pork butt to see if the internal heat’s up to 200 degrees and if the meat’s tender enough. If some parts are still tough, cook in the foil for another 30 minutes and check again. The heat should be above 200° but shouldn’t exceed 220°.
7. Leave the pork butt to rest for about 45 minutes before taking it in because it could be really hot.
8. Shred your pork butt with the juices to add more flavor. Ensure you wear a thick glove for this part, as the pork butt will still be hot. After shredding, add your sauce to the pork, and your delicious Boston butt or pork butt is ready to be served.
