Ingredients

Directions

  5. Remove the pork from the smoker and remove the thermometer. Wrap tightly in foil, place the thermometer back in the center, and continue to smoke at 250°F until the internal temp reaches 204°F. Remove and tightly wrap in two towels, and place in a cooler to finish for 1 hour.

  6. While the butt is resting in the cooler, combine cooking wine, soy sauce, 1/8 cup of Sticky Bourbon Brown Ale rub, and white sugar in a medium stockpot.

  7. Bring to a boil and reduce by a third.

  8. Remove the sauce from the heat, place in containers, and refrigerate.
