 Marius Johnston'S Smoked Carnitas

        Ingredients

     ***PART I***

   1 md  Boston butt
   1 lg  onion; quartered
   2 tb  ground coriander seed
   2 tb  ground cumin seed
   1 tb  oregano (mexican oregano if available)
   3     chipotles in adobo sauce
   2     bay leaves
   1 can beer
         water to cover


    ***PART II RUB***

Dry rub the butt:

   5 tb black pepper
   5 tb paprika
   1 tb chili powder
   2 tb celery salt
   2 ts dry mustard
   1    bottle Grandma's chili owder; (3 oz)
   1 oz pasilla chili powder; (this is a must)
   2 ts cayenne pepper

        Instructions

Part I. 

Combine Part I ingredients in pot and 
lightly boil for 1 to 2 hours. 

Save butt simmer liquid.

Combine rub ingredients. 

Remove the butt after 1 to 2 hours 
cooking and dry rub it with Part II 
ingredients.

Put butt in a Ziploc bag, in the 
refrigerator overnight.

Next day fire up your smoker. I used 
a Brinkmann "smoke and Grill" with
the door on the side, water tray in but 
no water (foil wrap the water tray).

I smoked the butt with mesquite coals at 
250 F for about 8 hours.

It depends on whether you want to pull it 
or cut it--longer if you want to pull it. 

Every hour I put foil wrapped mesquite chips 
on the coals. 

I also mopped with the butt liquid every 
hour just prior to the addition of the chips.
