Schnucks had a sale on pork butts for .99 cents a pound. So, I bought a couple of 'em.

They were already sliced, so I brought out the recipe from Hot Smokin' Gal for smoked pork chops. Hey, it worked for chops, why not for butts? ;D
Her recipe for five pounds of chops (We had 10 pounds).
For 10 Pounds:
10 T Morton Tender Quik
2 T (heaping) hickory smoked salt
Just under 1/2 C brown sugar
This was mixed together and rubbed onto the steaks.

The steaks cured for 5 hours; then I added one small can of pineapple juice.
The chops sat in the juice for another 45 minutes, then they were rinsed off and ready to go in the smoker (after they dried a little).
They smoked at 225 degrees for 4 hours. I used hickory.
