Debone pork butt; roast bone and reserve for broth. Cut pork butt in a spiral formation, ending in a long, wide “hanger steak” looking piece of meat. Brine the meat and cure for 24 hours.
With roasted bone, combine broth ingredients and simmer for 1 hour. Strain.
Combine all mole ingredients and process into a thick paste.
Remove pork butt from brine, smother with mole and smoke for 3 hours at 250°F. Combine mop ingredients.
Pull meat from smoker and transfer to grill. Cook until colored and tender, marinating with broth and mop.
Serving suggestion: Serve with warm pickled kudzu and pork tamales.
