Directions:

1. Fill your grill with the ALL NEW FOGO Briquets and prepare your grill for indirect cooking at 250°. A great way to light the briquets is with the use of a Blazaball and 2 FOGO starters
2. Place your butt in the BBQ Prep Tub. Using your santoku knife, cut a cross hatch pattern into the fat cap of your pork butt.  Only cut deep enough to go through the fat cap and just touch the meat.  Season the butt all over with Tina Cannons European Blend and sprinkle it with Jacobsens Garlic Salt.
3. If you have an Eggspander system, place the Dutch Oven on the grate and place the top rack of the Eggspander over the pot. If you do NOT have an Eggspander,  simply place the Dutch Oven on the grate and place a small wire rack over the top of the pot.  Insert your Meater+ wireless thermometer into the center of the meat, place the pork butt on the rack over the pot and close the dome.
4. Once the Meater+ reads 165°, drop the pork down into the Dutch Oven and place the lid on the pot. Continue cooking until the meat reaches 203° internal temperature.  Using  Leather Grill Gloves, remove the pot from the grill and let the meat rest in it for at least one hour. 
5. Put on a pair of cotton gloves, then a rubber glove. Shred the pork right in the pot in it’s own juices.  Serve and enjoy!
