Looks great!

Does anybody know how to achieve similar results without using the pink salt? We prefer to avoid nitrites when we can...

You can simply salt cure it, but you won't get the texture or the pink color that the nitrates create. I'll let someone else weight in on getting around that.

I cooked two pork butts, the recipe works GREAT. Made a big hit for Thanksgiving Day. My wife was watching , she was not convinced on the process. After one bite she was hooked. Thanks

Awesome. Glad it worked out. And a shout out to Phrasty for posting his work or I never would have tried it out either.
