Hey Ya'll,
Ive made pulled pork a dozen or so times and have had mixed results. The taste has always been good (I apply a coating of mustard with a southwest style rub), but the tenderness has been iffy a few times as has the smoke flavor. I normally cook to an IT of around 170 and smoke however much I feel like it. I like my pork butt to fall apart very easily when pulled. What IT do most of you find produces the best product? Also, how many hours are you normally smoking while cooking, the way I raised the temp i need about 10 hours to smoke a 7-9 pound butt. I have a MES 40" with the smoke generator attatchment so I can keep consistent smoke as long as needed.
Thanks, David
