Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar-based curing mixture (such as Morton® Tender Quick®)
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 gallon water
  • 10 pounds pork butt roast
  • 2 tablespoons ground mace
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon dried sage
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
1
To Prepare the Brine Solution: In a moderately sized bowl, blend together the curing agent, sugar, black pepper, 2 tablespoons of onion powder, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder and water. Stir until the salt and sugar are fully incorporated into the liquid.
2
Pour the brine solution over the pork, allowing it to marinate in the refrigerator for a period of one week.
3
Withdraw the pork from the brine solution and discard it. Rinse and dry the meat thoroughly with paper towels.
4
Preheat an outdoor smoker to a temperature range of 200 to 225 degrees Fahrenheit (95 to 110 degrees Celsius).
5
To Create the Spice Blend: In a moderately sized bowl, combine mace, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of onion powder, paprika, sage, thyme and honey. Mix the ingredients well.
6
Evenly apply the spice blend to the pork using your fingers, ensuring it is evenly coated. Place a roasting rack in a drip pan and position the meat on the rack.
7
Smoke the pork at 200 to 225 degrees Fahrenheit (95 to 110 degrees Celsius) for a duration of 12 hours.
