Started off with marinating an 8lbs bone-in Boston Butt with a dry season rub and chipotle peppers in adobe sauce. Then I soaked the butt in OJ with limes, oranges, onions, garlic, and bay leaves. Let that marinate for over 24 hours.
After 24 hours I took the butt out of the liquid and applied a dry rub with ingredients like salt, garlic, cumin, hot pepper rubs and cinnamon. Smoked the butt at 300 degrees for 3.5 hours. Came out with a nice bark.
Took the smoked butt and added it to a tray. Added the fat from the smoke along with Tomato juice, orange juice, onions, garlic, limes, oranges and bay leaves. Wrapped the tray in foil and put it back on the egg at 300 degrees for another 3.5 hours.
From there I took the tray off the egg and let it rest.
Now time to work on the tostadas and elotes.
Final Product
Took a decent amount of time, but it was well worth it.

Good things sometimes require work. Did you find your bark stays more true to form by using a wire rack to raise the BB slightly out of the liquid? Or, in your opinion, is a slightly softer bark acceptable in this dish.

That looks fantastic :-)“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”
