Pork butt

Don't season, marinade it in Italian Dressing, oh so good.
Tomorrow pat your butt dry and season it about 20-30 minutes before cooking.
That is the time I bring my Traeger up to temp.

I saw a YT video of straining Italian Dressing, then injecting the liquid into the pork butt, then coat the butt with the strained remains of the dressing then smoke as usual. Never tried it.

Purc That never can up in my mind.
Sounds more like a Pork Butt Salad

speaking for myself, I'm just too lazy to do this.

I season mine the day before. Comes out delicious.

I've dry brined butts for 12/24/48 hours, and not at all. And no one could tell much of a difference.
Believe me, if there was a difference...my crew bunch would let me know.

At any rate, my SOP now is to dry brine for 24 hours pre-cook. Maybe it makes me feel better about myself because I'm doing what Meathead taught me to do?

My best success is to inject it wrap in cellophane. put in the fridge. Then add my dry rub while the Smoker is heating up. For me it add's moisture

I agree!
That's exactly what I do as well.
