Long heated hold for pork butts?
This... there's just zero reason to do it with butt. Especially if you are pulling it. Brisket is a lot more lean, but even a 5+ hour rest seems like there's a point of diminishing returns -
Boneless Berkshire Fresh Ham
You are really overthinking this... just cook it like a pork butt. Also, where do you get off thinking it would cost $120 in wood to cook this? A bag or 2 of the Western hickory chunks from walmart for $7/ea will do it -
