This is almost exactly the recipe I was given by a true Alabamian, who makes the most amazing smoked boston butt I have ever tasted. However, when we attempted to recreate it with this recipe in our smoker, the taste just wasn't quite there. I think we probably didn't smoke and baste our roast long enough. We will definitely try again, tho, as this sauce is delicious. Thanks for sharing, Robert!

This recipe is too good not to rate, I tried this recipe for my uncle's 50th birthday, and it was a hit. Everyone loved it, the smoked taste and flavor was out of this world. I smoked two boston butts at one time, at the end of the party there was not any left. I have request to make this at Thanksgiving but I will make it before then. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This was fantastic, when we took the pork out of the oven and the foil all of the meat fell right off the bone leaving clean bones. This is a must if you own a smoker

I am a culinary student. I recently made this recipe for 48 people in a production. I used apple wood to smoke the pork buts. I basted by dipping the buts into the sauce every hour and placing back into the smoker. I used a commercial smoker with a sheet pan at the bottom to catch the drips. I took those dripping and poured them into the sauce when I had finished smoking. (After wrapping in foil and adding sauce.) I then cooked the meat overnight at 165 (about 15 hours). The sauce was chilled over night so I could remove the fat. In the morning I shredded the pork with forks and added it back to the sauce. I held it this way for 24 hours. Next I simmered it to warm the pork and served it. Many people, chefs, other students commented on how good the pork was and how much they enjoyed the flavors. Excellent recipe.

We tried this recipe but didn't get the results we expected. Smoked it for ever but the roast never got tender like we wanted it to. Was unable to pull it apart. Overall, this is a good recipe. We may have got a bad roast which is entirely possible. The sauce is very hot.

This is the BEST BBQ I have ever tasted. I have not made it myself yet, but a co-worker made this for a retirement party and its wonderful. The meat is very very tender and the flavor is out of this world. HOPE MINE TURNS OUT JUST AS GOOD!!

This is it!!!! This creates the tender pulled pork that I have searched for! I have tried numerous smoked BBQ recipes - and while they all tasted good - they weren't perfect. This blows away them all and my guests agreed it was better than any they have ever tasted. I had to make extra sauce for the final simmering.
