Pork Shoulder Burnt Ends:

Pork shoulder burnt ends are a must-make recipe for anyone with a smoker or pellet grill!

Burnt ends are typically made with cuts of meat that are best cooked low and slow.

Such as brisket, pork belly, and chuck roast… or in this case we are using a pork butt.

How to make pork shoulder burnt ends

First cut a 4 pound pork butt into 1 or 2 inch cubes and place in a bowl.

Then add a cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of your favorite barbecue seasoning, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 to 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, kosher salt, and pepper.

Mix this together until the pork is evenly coated.

We will cook the burnt ends two different ways on the smoker or pellet grill.

First set it to 225 degrees and place the cubes of pork shoulder on the grate for two hours.

Ohhh, and use tongs to flip them halfway through.

Then remove the burnt ends and place in a 9×13 foil pan.

Add a cup of your favorite barbecue sauce, 1/4 cup honey, and 3 tablespoons of butter.

Mix this together, cover with foil, and place back on the smoker or pellet grill for 1 1/2 to 2 more hours, still set to 225 degrees.

Pork shoulder burnt ends are like little tiny nuggets of meat candy!

In addition to just popping these suckers in your mouth and enjoying just like this, you could also have them…

as tacos

on top of mac and cheese

on nachos or loaded fries

in a wrap

or just leftover cold out of the fridge as a snack!

Flavorful, tender, and succulent… serve as an appetizer or with any spread at a picnic or barbecue!
