Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: ~ 8 hours
Servings: ~15 (recipe makes around 5 pounds of pulled pork)
Ingredients
- 8.5 pound Boston Butt
- Water
- 16 oz of Patterson’s Mopping Sauce
Directions
- Place Boston Butt in your slow cooker and cover with water
- Cook on high until the meat will shred off the bone with a fork ( cook time depends on your slow cooker - Our slow cooker took around 6 hours)
- Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred with a fork
- Place the pulled pork in a disposable aluminum pan with small holes cut in the bottom (see the images below for ours) and place on the cooler portion of grill (see our BBQ Chicken Wing recipe for explanation of indirect cooking arrangement)
- Cook pulled pork in the aluminum pan on the grill (tossing frequently to prevent sticking) until the pulled pork dries out a bit (remember in the next step you will be adding sauce to it)
- Remove from the grill, place in a pan and add Patterson’s Mopping Sauce
- Make pulled pork sandwiches, tacos or anything else.
Notes:
- To get close to the authentic taste of staying up all night over an open pit, we add hickory chips to the grill during the smoking stage of the process
- Depending on how “wet” you want your pulled pork, add more or less Patterson’s Mopping Sauce
