Start with a store-bought pork butt that has been tied into a roast and deboned.

Slather the pork butt with mustard to help the rub stick and form the bark.

Prepare the rub using a combination of kosher salt, coarse pepper, and paprika in equal parts (about a third each).

Use a shaker to evenly distribute the rub on the pork butt, patting it on instead of rubbing it in.

Place the seasoned pork butt in the smoker and set it to cook for about nine hours at 270°F.

Set the smoke time for six hours.

After six hours, take the pork butt out and seal it in tin foil to prevent air and steam from escaping.

Return the wrapped pork butt to the smoker and heat it up to an internal temperature of 200°F, which takes about 45 minutes.

Let the pork sit in the smoker for an additional hour after reaching 200°F before opening.
