• Wrap your seasoned butt in foil. It can be beneficial to let the roast sit overnight.
• Prepare your barbecue with your chosen smoking wood to a temperature of at least 225 degrees.
• Cook your roast in the foil for about 60 to 90 minutes for every pound.
• Every two hours, make sure to turn the roast on a different side.
• Rub a bit of olive oil on the roast during this time to ensure moisture retention.
• When you think it's close to being done, measure the internal temperature at the thickest part of your roast with a meat thermometer.
• When done, the internal temperature should measure 190 degrees.
• Once done on the barbecue, take off heat and let the meat sit for ten minutes.
• Then, it's ready to cut and serve with your favorite side dishes!
