![]() So give yourself extra time when planning on cooking it. pork butt/shoulder may smoke in 4 hours like some of the people out there say it will (please tell me if yours does- mine never have)! In my research and my experience it takes time! Total time for mine is usually about 7-8 hours- that includes smoking, then smoking longer once it’s wrapped in foil, and then it needs to rest after smoking! I cannot tell you an exact smoking time like I can tell you to bake a pan of enchiladas at 350 degrees for 30 minutes…it just can’t be pinned to an exact time! I can give you an estimate of what works for me, and then it will vary. Moral of the story- don’t rely on pound-per-hours because it wont be accurate-ever! I have never ever had one smoke in 4 hours (like the 2 hours per pound recommendation I had read and tried the first time). So here’s the bottom line…even a small pork butt or pork shoulder smoked is going to take time…hours and hours actually! A larger one is going to take a lot of hours…think an all-night-event kind of hours-into the next day kind of hours!!! I researched and decided to try wrapping it in foil after it smoked and reached 140-145 degrees! And guess what! It was perfection…a smoke time of about 4 – 5 hours at 225 degrees, then wrapped in some foil and smoked again at a higher temp of 255 degrees for another 2 1/2 – 3 1/2 hours-ish! The foil made all the difference and the pork turned out amazing! And has turned out perfect every time!!! Well I learned a goof lesson that day! YOUR PORK BUTT WILL STALL! IT WILL STALL AND THAT IS NORMAL! And you need to wrap it in foil at a certain point! Pulled Pork Success Takes TIME It smoked and smoked and smoked…and smoked…and smoked! It was not getting to temperature! What was wrong? I was shocked and a bit worried, but thought maybe it would just start cooking faster and be done in the next hour! Ha! Boy was I wrong! I let it smoke some more thinking it would start to raise in temperature any minute…nope! I put it on the smoker at 225 degrees and let it smoke!Īt the 4 hour mark I checked and it was no where near done!!!! It was only at 130 degrees and we had to reach around 190-200 degrees!!! The first time I tried one I had read online to plan on 1 1/2-2 hours per pound for smoking/cooking at 225 degrees! I had a small 2 pound pork butt so I planned on about 4 hours. Let me tell you pulled pork on the smoker takes time…all day actually! It is super easy, but it is not a fast thing to cook!Ĭontinue reading if you want to hear about my epic fail… If not skip to the bottom and find the recipe! Pulled Pork FAIL If you take the time to read this post I will tell you how to cook pulled pork on the smoker, but just know each time you cook it the timing will be a bit different so be patient! If I had to chose only one thing to smoke on my smoker for the rest of my life I think it would be pulled pork… Or maybe Baby Back Ribs… No, for sure pulled pork! I love it!Ĭooking pulled pork on the smoker take a lot of time it is worth it. Easy Pulled Pork on the Smoker is so yummy! It’s easy, made with simple ingredients… but I am warning you it takes TIME!
