I have a situation that callls for sliced pork butt rather than pulled pork.  I need it to be finger food rather than sandwich type food.  Any tips or pointers, if I smoke  it to 170 degrees will I be able to slice without pulling it?

There are others cuts that work better for slicing. Pork loin comes to mind first, but a boneless pork roast will do as well.

If you do a loin I would take it to 140IT. If you do a boneless roast take it to 140 in less than 4hrs. I personally don't like taking my sliced pork to much higher temps than that. Let it rest for a couple hours double wrapped in foil and in a cooler then slice thin.
