Ingredients

10 lbs pork butt, boneless
5 tablespoons salt
5 tablespoons cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons black pepper, freshly ground
3 tablespoons white pepper
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons garlic powder

Directions

1

Trim the pork of all excess fat and cut it into strips about 1 inch thick and at least 4 inches long.
2

Mix together the seasonings and place in a shallow pan. Roll each strip of pork in the seasoning mixture and place on a tray.
3

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (preferable a couple of days).
4

Prepare a smoker. Place the pork strips on the grill or rod (whichever your smoker uses) and smoke until done, 5 to 7 hours. Don't let the smoker get too hot.
5

Remove the meat and let it cool completely, then wrap well in plastic and foil.
6

The tasso will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, and it also freezes very well.
