Smoked Boston Butt Sliders

These smoky, bite-size sliders are absolutely perfect for celebrating your favorite guys, not only because they’re stuffed with the kind of tender, succulent meat guys dream about, but also because they’re the ideal dish for a cookout. Smoke this roast on the grill while you enjoy the day outside with your family, or put dad himself in charge. Regardless of how you do it, these sweet, spicy, saucy treats will have everyone in a celebratory mood. Serve with slaw on top for an extra layer of cool, smooth flavor.

Instructions:

Preheat smoker to 225 degrees.

Combine brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne in a bowl. Rub the entire roast with spice mix and place in the smoker with fat cap on top.  Smoke for 4 hours. Remove from smoker, place roast in a disposable foil roasting pan, and pour the beer and vinegar over top. Cover with aluminum foil and return to the smoker. Smoke for 3-4 more hours, until tender.

Remove roast from smoker and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before shredding. To serve, dress the slider buns with the sauce, add some meat, and top with a small scoop of coleslaw.
