Ingredients
Scale
- 2 quarts water
- 12 ounces pickling salt
- ¾ cup honey
- 6–8 lb Boston pork butt, trimmed
- 2 tbsp paprika
- 2 tbsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp dehydrated lemon peel
- 2 tbsp cayenne pepper (more if you like)
- 1 ½ tbsp dried rosemary
- 3 tbsp dark brown sugar
- Several lbs apple wood

Directions
- Combine water, salt, and honey in a 6-quart cooler. Add pork and refrigerate or place a large bag of ice on top for 8–12 hours.

- Light a few chunks of apple wood and place in the firebox of a smoker. Keep temperature in smoker around 210°F.
