Simple Pulled Pork

Comments:

Pulled pork (from a Boston Butt or Pork Shoulder) has to be one of the absolutely best items to ever come off a barbecue pit. This recipe will make you a backyard hero!

First, collect the following ingredients:

    4-5 pound pork butt
    1/4 cup chile powder
    1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
    2 Tbs fresh ground black pepper
    1 Tbs packed brown sugar
    1 tsp thyme, dried
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    yellow mustard

Combine all the ingredients in a glass or plastic bowl and mix thoroughly. First, rub a light coat of the yellow mustard onto the meat. Next rub the dry ingredients onto the meat thoroughly. Cover meat and refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours. Cook butt at 225° to 230° in indirect heat until the internal temperature reaches 180° to 185° internal temperature. Baste occasionally with your favorite basting sauce.
