Can you do this in the oven with good results? Don’t have a smoker.

Definitely - put a dash of liquid smoke in the brine and about 12 hours in the oven at 225-250 degrees.

Can you do this in the oven with good results?...I have smoked a Boston butt for 4 hours and then put it into the oven until it was done, so I'd say yes . It won't have the smoke flavor though.

Good Luck

Do you have any kind of grill that you can set up for cooking with indirect heat? A weber kettle can do the trick.

I have a a Dutch Oven/Crockpot recipe. Freepmail me if you’re in need.

Yea, you can do it in the oven. But it won’t be smoked. Probably the worst thing you can do when smoking a butt is to under cook it. It won’t dry out. It’s full of fat. You basically want to render the fat out. If you get the outside “too done” the inside will still be fine. I personally like a layer of “outside meat”. Hard, almost burned. It will acually insulate the inside meat.

You “pull” the butt after cooking to remove the fat and gristly parts from the meat.
