Rub the seasoning on both sides of the pork butt.

Install a water pan in the grill to help control temperature and add humidity.

Place the seasoned pork butt on the grill and close the lid.

Monitor the grill temperature, aiming for 225°F, and adjust as necessary.

After about 40 minutes, check the smoke quality; it should start to clean up.

Let the pork butt cook for about 4-5 hours without opening the grill lid.

Prepare the coleslaw dressing by mixing 3/4 cup mayonnaise with a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, a squirt of Dijon mustard, chipotle powder, and sugar to taste.

Season the dressing with SPG rub and mix well, adjusting flavors as needed.

Combine the coleslaw mixture with the dressing and mix until evenly coated.

After 4 hours, check the pork butt; the bark should be set and not scratch off.

Spritz the pork butt with a mixture of apple cider vinegar, honey, and water to keep it moist.

Close the grill and continue cooking, checking back in a couple of hours.
