Make the caveman blend by combining all the spices listed in a bowl and mixing well (you will not need all of this, store the extra in an airtight container or ziploc)
Make your mop sauce (only if smoking) but combining the ingredients in a spray bottle
Apply a thin coat of mustard to your pork butt
Generously cover the entire pork butt with the caveman blend
Wrap the seasoned pork butt in plastic wrap or put it in a large ziploc and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours but up to 48
Smoker
Bring your smoker or your BBQ to 225 degrees fahrenheit and prepare it to use indirect heat
We use an electric wood pellet smoker so we just set the temperature after we added all of the hickory wood pellets
Plan on smoking your boston butt for 60-90 minutes per pound or until it reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees fahrenheit
Remove your boston butt from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before you plan to start smoking it to allow it to come to room temperature
Place your boston butt on the smoker fat side up and plan on basting with your mop sauce every two hours until completion
Once your butt has finished, either let it sit for 1 hour before pulling so you don't burn yourself or use tools to shred it
Serve with your favorite sauce or side and we recommend our Beasty BBQ Sauce
Crockpot
Remove your boston butt from the refrigerator and place in the bottom of your crockpot
