Ingredients List:

Brine:
8 ounces of molasses
12 ounces pickling salt
2 quarts of bottled water
6 to 8 pound Boston butt

Rub:
1 tsp of whole cumin seed
1 tsp of whole fennel seed
1 tsp of whole coriander
1 tbsp of onion powder
1 tbsp of chili powder
1 tbsp of paprika

Directions:

You are going to combine the molasses, water, and pickling salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the Boston butt making sure that it is being completely submerged in the brine and then you are going to cover the bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 10 hours.

Now you are going to place the cumin seed, coriander, and fennel seed into a food grinder and grind it until it is fine. Then transfer it into a small mixing bowl and then stir in the paprika, chili powder, and onion powder.

Remove the Boston butt from the brine and then pat dry. Then you will sift the rub over the shoulder evenly and pat it onto the meat. You want to try to make as much of the rub stay onto the meat as possible. You will find that wearing latex gloves will actually help it stick to the meat better when you are putting it on.

Preheat your smoker to 210 degrees F. Now put the Boston butt into the smoker and cook it for about 12 hours. You will want to check the meat after 10 hours to see if it is done. Continue checking it periodically until 12 hours. You can check to see if it is done by using a fork. If you take the fork and try to break off a piece of the meat and it falls apart easily, then it is done. Once it is done, you will remove it from the pot and set it aside for at least 1 hour. Pull the meat apart by using 2 forks and then serve it on some sandwich rolls. This is a very delicious meat that everyone will love!
