    Boston Butt Help!

    Thanks Foamheart. It doesn't look like the standard pulled pork but it did have great flavor. I added my homemade sauce and it made a great sandwich. So I'm happy. I will try again. I refuse to give up until I get it right !! At least a pork butt is one of the cheaper meats to buy 128516

    Boston Butt Help!

    Well it's done. Mixed results. It was not pull off the bone like I hoped. I had to cut it all off and then chop it up. Used my sauce and had sandwiches. Still very good. The flavor of the meat was awesome though !! Not sure what I did wrong.

    Ok. Thanks. And is it a good idea to apply my rub and have it sit in fridge all night or just apply rub tomorrow?

    I got a smaller butt. It's 5.5lbs. Should I figure about 1 hour per pound?

    Boston Butt Help!

    Hey Guys, well, this weekend I want to try to smoke a Boston Butt for some pulled pork sandwiches.. I have never done one yet.  my question is this, after the IT hits 160, some say to pull it out and wrap in foil and continue smoke until 180-190.  other say to just leave it in until desired...

    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    Totally agree!! I keep mine closes while bringing it up to desires temp. Then once I start smoking I open it up about 3/4. Works for me.
