How to Smoke a Pork Shoulder on a Weber Kettle (easy and simple recipe)

Learn how to smoke a pork shoulder on a Weber kettle charcoal grill in this step by step video.
It doesn’t matter if you call it a Boston butt, a pork butt, or a pork shoulder, I call it dang delicious!
From scoring your pork butt to seasoning it to get the most versatility, I’ll show you how to prep your pork for smoking on a charcoal grill.
Then, watch as I set up my Weber charcoal grill as a smoker and get it ready for a long smoke. You can also check out this video for how to use your Weber kettle grill as a smoker with proper thermometer placements, etc for more info: • How to Set Up a charco...
Learn about the two most important target temps:
1) When you take your pork shoulder off the grill and wrap it and
2) The final target temperature range for your smoked pork butt.
*Chef’s Tip -While you’re smoking your pork butt, throw another meat on the grill also. I smoked an eye of round roast this time while my pork was cooking. Then I’ll slice it thin for roast beef sandwiches for my lunch for the week:
• Smoked Pork Loin Sandw...
I used a mix of apple cider vinegar and apple juice concentrate to baste the pork butt while it’s on the Weber kettle… no fancy mop or sprayer needed! Remember, we’re keeping it simple.
And speaking of wrapping your smoked pork, watch my method for wrapping your meat in peach BBQ paper and why you should… If you’ve never tried it, then do it! Here’s the peach paper that I used: amzn.to/3pFo6BO
If you love pulled pork as much as I do, then you won’t be disappointed in this easy smoked pulled pork recipe on the Weber kettle! We like to keep it simple in terms of seasoning (just salt, pepper, and garlic powder), because then we use the leftovers for a bunch of other recipes, like Pork Carnitas Tacos, Pork Enchiladas, and BBQ Pork Flatbread Pizzas. Think beyond the smoked pulled pork sandwich!

    I've done my pork butts in foil once and ever since I've gone naked. I've never tried it wrapped in pink before but I'll do it next time. Might I suggest next time you do a pork but as an experiment try running it at 180 on a pellet grill for 12 hours overnight smoked and then finish it however you'd like wrapped. I've found by cooking it like that gives me a very easy and good cook. If you catch butts on sale for $0.99/lb at Food Lion it's a no brainer to give it a try for cheap. I usually do my pork butts chopped up and use carolina vinegar sauce on a sammich and it's killer! My next goal is to master ribs which I think I've done using sous vide and smoking after but it's still a work in process. With triplets toddlers and a 1yo I like to take the easier way out but I still enjoy my offset from time to time. :p By the way I love your vids. I love my Camp Chef and Weber Summit! I just replaced my clip on the side lid for my camp chef with a flip up/down lid. It was a little pricey but well worth it imo.

    Oh geeez. My guess around 8/10 lbs. I didn’t wood. Not how accurate this is but after 4 hours the meat has absorbed all the smoke it will take. The rest is bark for flavor. Who knows. But i kinda follow that guide. If the grill is at a good temp and the meat is lower in temp im not opening the grill to check on the wood if that makes since.
