JUICY and TENDER SMOKED PORK BUTT done in the ELECTRIC SMOKER

I tried to smoke a 5 to 6 lbs. pork butt this time....

Brine pork for 2 to 3 hours with 1/4 cup kosher salt, 1/4 cup sugar, 5 cups cold water, and 1 cup red chardonnay wine .   Pat dry, sprinkle with Weber's Chicago Steak Seasoning.  Prepare brush with 1/4 cup apple butter and apple cider vinegar.


Set the electric smoker to 250 degrees and the timer for 5 hours.  Place apple and cherry wood chips to the smoker.  Put the pork fat side up for 2 1/2 hours.  Turn the pork fat side down.  Brush with the prepared apple butter and apple cider vinegar every once in a while.  Put more wood chips when needed.
Let it cool.  This smoked pork is almost like a "pulled pork" - juicy and tender.
