This is my no wrap, low and slow, tried and true…Never Fail…method for cooking a pork butt on a pellet grill.
It takes a low and slow approach to develop bark and smokey flavor when using wood pellets.
It’s true pellets don’t produce as much smoke as wood or even charcoal, but by slowing down the cook time you force the pellets to work more which does produce good clean blue smoke which is exactly what you want.
This slows down the amount of pellets dropped in the fire pot and allows the pellets to actually smoke instead of rapidly burning.
