Number Of Ingredients 7

1 gallon cold water
2 cups pure maple syrup
1 cup kosher salt
1 (2 1/2 pound) pork butt roast
apple wood chips
¾ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup pure maple syrup

Steps:

  • Combine water, 2 cups maple syrup, and salt in a large pot; stir until brine is evenly combined, about 2 minutes. Add pork butt to brine; refrigerate for 2 hours 45 minutes.
  • Soak wood chips in a bowl of warm water while pork is brining.
  • Drain wood chips and place in the smoker. Place grill rack on top. Remove pork from brine and place on grill rack in smoker, discarding brine.
  • Turn smoker temperature to 280 degrees F (138 degrees C). Combine apple cider vinegar and 1/4 cup maple syrup in a clean spray bottle.
  • Cook pork in the smoker, spraying every 45 minutes with vinegar spray, until internal temperature of pork reaches 195 degrees F (90 degrees C) to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C), about 12 hours. Transfer pork to a cutting board and slice or shred.
