In a large pot I put the Butt, onion, coriander, cumin, oregano, chipotles,
bay leaves and beer. Add water to cover and lightly boil for 1 to 2 hours.
Save Butt simmer liquid. Dry rub the butt with pepper, paprika, chili
powder, celery salt and mustard. Put in a zip-lock bag, in the frig over
night.

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 degrees for 8 hours
(time a little fuzzy at this point
:-) It depends on whether you want to pull it or cut 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.
