so I have done many pork butts since my last post and everybody loves my pulled pork but im not completely happy with it I cook it to 155-160 then I wrap it and cook it to about 190-195 pull it off and I let it rest for about an hour the flavor is great the smoke ring is perfect and the pork isn't tough when u bite into it but i can't seem to get it to where the bone pulls out easy and shreds easy. I do a nice rub I make I have a maverick digital thermometer that gives me the reading of my butt and my pit at grate level put a water pan in too keep moisture i spray it down with a apple juice mixture I make about every hour to hour and half.Any tips on getting it to where I can shred it easier and that bone comes out easier would be great? Thanks guys
 
Hi Justin! :welcome1: back! Haven't seen you online for quite awhile!
Try taking that pork butt up to 200*-205*, I think you might be right on the edge of where you want it. Also when it gets up to 195* or so then do the toothpick test, that is probe around in all different areas with a toothpick or skewer or something and it should slide in like going into hot butter and grab that bone and give it a wiggle, when it feels real loose and the toothpick slides in real easy it is done.

  Hi Justin!  X 2 on what Dave says...If you get a butt to 205 IT, I'll bet that bone will nearly fall out!

Good Luck!

hey thanks guys I pull it off at 190-195 and let rest thinking it would get up to that 200-205 range the next time I do one ill take up to 205 I guess the important part is everyone loves it
