This past weekend, I tried something I’ve never done before: holding a smoked pork butt in my oven for a long rest: 12 hours. I have a standard conventional oven, and like most, the lowest it goes is 170° F.
Follow along and see how this came out!
The verdict: excellent pulled pork. Maybe a little softer than a traditional rest of 2-4 hours, but not over cooked or noticeable in the moisture or flavor department. If you’re in a pinch and not serving your food for a long time, or simply want to get some sleep after a long cook, give it a shot!

Glad I found your informative video. Cooked my first pork butt in my Kamado Joe Classic III. Tried resting at 170° in the oven for 10 hours to serve at lunch. Turned out great. Family enjoyed it. Thanks for the guidance.

Great video! I smoked a 12.5 lb pork butt yesterday and that takes a while running 250-275 for the first half of the cook. Bumped it up to 300 for the second half, pulled and wrapped at 175, and in the over for 12 hours at 170. I got the same results you did. Clean bone slid out effortlessly. Meat was juicy and flavorful. It works out well you can cook all day Saturday (get that meat out of the fridge early and let it come to room temp!), rest all night, and enjoy some freshly smoked, piping hot, super juicy pulled pork with friends for lunch on Sunday and it kind of looks like you never lifted a finger. If I'm just making for the family I like to vacuum seal half of it in one pound bags. Drop it in a sous vide bath to reheat. It really doesn't get any easier/tastier. I'd love to see what your favorite vinegar sauce is.

Hell yeah man! Thanks for watching. I still have yet to try reheating any of my BBQ in a sous vide bath. May have to try it soon! Doing a couple butts this weekend I just may freeze and reheat to see how it comes out

I’ve read about people smoking for three or four hours then finishing via sous vide. Using it to reheat makes total sense though.

Some ovens you can trick to 150 by making a manual adjustment by -20 degrees so 170 is actually 150. Though still good to know without that hack the 170 won't ruin things!

I placed a brisket in the oven at 170 degrees inside a pan. Although the oven was set to 170, the temp was 159 when I used my infrared thermometer to check the temp outside of the foil in the pan. I don't know if it was because the air had to go up and around the pan, but that brisket came out the best I ever made.

Very informative... I wondered that myself... on a pork butt I usually go with an oven rest of 5-6 hours @ 170.... I really like the result of the scoring on the fat cap... I can really see some benefits. For your Chud hack with the hot sauce and apple cider vinegar I've also added some of the separated juices from the bottom of the aluminum wrap... Great video!! very nice Pit!! Looking forward to see what you come up with next!!

Hi -- can you tell me more about what you described as the "Chud Hack" near end of video, made with apple cider vinegar and hot sauce? What sort of ratio did you you of those ingredients? What brands of each? Any other ingredients? I definitely think that adding that to the pulled pork would help keep it most and flavorful, though I have not tried this yet.

Nice job meat looks great. I’ve got a Traeger pellet smoker. Takes me around 14 hours at 225° to get the meat to hit 200°. Is that normal for it to take that long to smoke a pork butt? I’m new to the smoker world.
@Merricks_Meat
@Merricks_Meat 3 ай бұрын
Yup that’s normal! Mine always took the same on my rec Teq. Could always crank the temp up to 275 once you get the bark you want to speed it up a little, but totally normal

Very useful buddy, ive been wondering if that would work, my oven only goes to 170 also. Have you ever tried resting brisket overnight at that temp? I think it would be fine too. Thanks for the video good job!

@Merricks_Meat 10 ай бұрын
Thank you! I have not tried a brisket in the oven for a rest but I’ve eaten other people’s. It definitely gets a bit overdone. Still tastes good but brisket tends to pass the point of that perfect doneness and starts to fall apart. Still tasted good though 😂. I figured I’d experiment with the pork because it’s way more forgiving than brisket

@@Merricks_Meat I rest briskets at 140 for 12-16hrs depending on when I need to serve and they never fall apart. I do tend to pull them around 198-200 internal if they feel good. When I probe and feel like it needs 30 more minutes to be the perfect tenderness, I pull them. Just slightly early. Unwrapped entire cook, 275 degrees, fat side up. Rest on the counter down to ~160 then wrap in foil for the rest. Love that pit. Did it come on the trailer? What size, make and model is it?

This been my method for years. It's always turned out perfect and you wake up to a killer smell. I'm lucky I guess my oven will hold as low as 120.

@DRockk9 10 ай бұрын
120F is very dangerous to hold for any length of time. That is solidly in the danger zone which extends from 40F to 140F. You want to hold at 160-170F as shown in the video. If you choose to hold below 140F you are knowingly putting yourself, your family, and guests at risk of foodborne illness. You have been warned.

I don’t think you can go wrong. I personally think scoring the fat cap helps render the fat better. Scoring the fat or the meat helps provide more surface area for smoke and seasoning. Are you cooking fat cap up or down??
