Smoked Pork Butt on a PK360 

"Learn air flow will make you a better cook" is gold...

Just got the PK 300 AF. Excited to try a Boston Butt after watching your video. Great job! Thanks!

Excellent video! I just got a new PK 300 and have been watching a lot of videos. Your advice about air flow vs temperature makes sense. Doing an 8lb shoulder this weekend…can’t wait!

I have this saved to my favorites and watch it every time I smoke a pork butt on m PK. ONE of these days I will remember all the details! LOL Thank you!!

Thanks! Your video was very detailed for the novice smoker such as myself.

Very kool sir thanks for your time

Thank you for the excellent video! As my first try at this cook, your instructions were perfect!

Thanks for posting this. Great way to stretch your food options out!

I love the way rubs with heavy grind pepper look on the food. Looked awesome! Great video!

Just got my brand spankin' new PK360, have butt in the fridge and gonna follow your way of controlling the temps and smoking that butt. Thanks for a very informative video.

Thanks for your help.. my butt came out perfect! Happy holidays to you and your family! Learning how to use my pk 360..

Looks great! PK wins the day.. as usual.

Thanks for doing a smoke cook on the 360! Far too few videos covering it. Thank you for explaining everything I’m depth.

had too revisit this video. Did it last spring, gonna do it again tomorrow

If only smoking one pork butt my little PK original is gonna be my choice probably every time. GREAT tip on air flow over cooking temp! I use a Thermoworks Smoke, though, so I don’t have to keep checking on the cook. There’s something really special about the original PK in terms of efficiency. With quality briquettes like B&B oak or Jealous Devil, crazy as it may sound I don’t even have to refuel. And that’s not even wrapping early. Most of mine whether on the PK or the offset my pork butts go somewhere around 12 hrs, with a foil boat for the last few. Ever tried a pork butt in an original PK?

Yeah great recipe and tips! Keep you all safe!

Great video! Nice and smooth detailed directions! The pork butt looked teriffic! Looks like that little PK grill can do it all! Thanks! 👍👍

Nice cool! And a fellow Arkansan... double bonus.

Nice job with that PK.... Everything looked awesome.

cool....just found your channel while shopping for a PK. greetings from the 479

Nice job on sharing what you did... I'm getting ready to cook a butt on my PK Original with high confidence!

Thanks for the details on fire management! I have a PK360 and have been struggling to maintain the fire on a long cook.

Brian - I've tried your way of lighting up the PK for low and slow cooks and it works way better than how the PK videos/instructions say to do it. I never overshoot temperatures when I do it your way, and have no issues running at 225 for several hours. Nice video!

Awesome

That looks absolutely perfectly done. Would love to see some beef ribs on that bad boy and I think they would take around the same cook time; more or less. I think I found my christmas present request for this year!

That PK is nice. Great idea on cooking the pork butt in these times! Looks delicious bud!! Y'all take care!

Nice video man! I’m new to grilling and smoking with the PK and this video really helps with the basics.

870 area Arkansan here, was cleaning out land from a passed relative and stumbled upon a presidential model PK made from 1960-1975. Would love to know the exact year on it. Still cooks great can’t beat the steaks that come off of it. It inspired me to get a PK360. Great video, keep it up and God bless.

Great video. Love the hot sauce spritz, def gunna do that

Nice looking pork butt Brian. Nothing wrong with a little foil to speed up the process and contain all them juices. Good job!🤘

Awesome video! Just cooked a butt last week , turned out great. I've got to get one of those torches! 😀👍

AWESOME

And then i see pork on the pk. I can see why this grill is rated so high 😊

Exactly what was corona.. God bless!!😋

U nailed it!!?😋

I leave that hinged grate over the coals off when smoking like this....

Often if I get sick of managing the fire (on my offset smoker or PK 360) I will wrap and finish in the oven. The pork is not absorbing any more smoke at that point anyway. Not as "cool" but cuts down on effort. Another thing I never see anyone do on these videos is clean excess fat when shredding. It may be a preference thing but even when I cook low slow and long there is always excess fat even if you remove the fat cap first (where most of the fat is).

💯💯💯

Woo pig 🤞🏾 I just subscribed..

I see 501...fellow Arkansan?

I'm surprised how fast you smoked the butt and with a higher temp. I guess you don't prefer the low and slow method? I usually go about 225 for 12 hours for that size butt.

Still have the pk360? Looking at buying one

Brian, did the side facing the coals cook more than the other sides? I purchased a PK360 recently and use it for hot and fast cooks exclusively and my ceramic Kamado for low and slow cooks. I know the PK is designed for indirect cooking by cross-controlling air vents and wonder if it does it well for low and slow cooks or if cooking indirectly in the center of the grill may produce more even heating. Also, have you cooked a rack of ribs on the PK?

Looks good !!! I prefer lump charcoal

How long have you been using the pk grill? How do you like it?

Is it just me or did anyone else notice that he REALLY over uses the word yall 😂😂

Yo, dude, how do yall reheat they pulled pork once u have frozen it?

Wow, just fell apart, bet that bark tasted good!

Wow thanks so much for the video! My PK 360 arrives today! Question for you... I was looking into how I want to do my temperature probes and it looks like you just close the lid directly on the cable. Am I seeing that right? I guess I was a little worried that doing that my mess up the cable.

Tx style bbq only has salt an pepper on it

Nice video buddy n stay safe gloves n masks for now . Oh u need to taste different parts n describe the delicious ness next time

Check the ingredients on the rubs you buy. Some sauces and rubs have MSG in them! MSG is really bad for your heart ❤ Ask your cardiologist, I don't know why they include MSG . Not necessary as an ingredient.
