Which is basically the traditional NC way, with the addition of a top coat of Q-Salt

Start with a typical unmolested (bone-in, not enhanced, no trim) pork butt

A heavy coating of coarse sea salt..

I'm sure the QSalt addition will be good... I just haven't taken that slight detour from the coarse sea salt.

I’ve been adding the last few times. I do a light coat, cause I don’t want it to be too Peppery.

Excellent, John. After reading your tutorial last year I don't do pulled pork any other way.

Anytime I wonder if I'm getting bored with pulled pork, I eat some and realize I'm not. I simply love that stuff and I guess I always will. As to the Q-salt - it's getting put on a lot of stuff here at casa de gtr!

Are you salting right before it goes in the cooker or is there a little time between?

That's looking fantastic, btw! :hungry:
