      2. Set your smoker to 250°F. Place a water pan under the meat for extra moisture.

      3. Place the seasoned pork butt on the smoker and cook for about 4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 170°F.

      4. Remove the pork, place it on foil, and add butter, honey, and brown sugar. Wrap tightly and return to the smoker for 2-3 more hours until the internal temperature reaches 200°F.

      5. Remove from the smoker and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. Save the juices for later.

      6. Unwrap, shred, and mix with reserved juices for extra flavor.
