[NePaSmoKer]

I smoked a pork butt a couple months ago. Did the norm rub and all, vac bagged and froze it. Today i am doing a twist on some carnitas.

Thawed smoked butt.



Chili verde going to be ready to go in after some cooking. Small black bowl.



I will post pics as i go.

I put the pork in a galss dish and put it in the bbq. I use a traeger grill but you can use a gas grill also. It will pick up some smoke too. I am at 300* and using oak. After it gets cooks some i will add the chili verde and return it back to the grill. Stir the pork a few times while in the grill.

Bumped the heat to 350* and added the chili verde.




Stir into butt and cook for another 30 mins.


And like they say, everything is good with bacon so i am adding some.

I have a butt in the smoker right now. I like your chili verde plan. I love the salsa verde.....I think I'll try the same with some of mine. Nepa, how will you serve it. In tortillas?

I thought for me maybe in tortillas with cilantro, cabbage and avacado slices.
