So I did a pork butt a few weeks ago, only took it to 170, it didn't fall off the bone but still tasted really good. So forward a few weeks and my daughter wants pulled pork for her birthday party. This time I wanted to get to the magic 200-205. I had 2 butts each about 5-6 lbs. Got one to 195 about an hour before the party was to start and left the other one on for a few more hours. I think next time I will plan 2 hours per pound to hit 200-205 IT. I did pan and foil at 165 IT. Smoker was about 235.
Both were a hit and well liked. Have some left over for making chili this weekend.
