    Boston Butt for pulled Pork

    Thanks for the info Jimmy, I will also try this next time.  Put my Butt on the smoker at 5:30 am with 5:30 pm being dinner time. Hope it all works out this time. Also have decided to kick up the heat 275 - 300.

    Boston Butt for pulled Pork

    Hi Joe, If I wrap it at 160 degrees how will I get a bark on it?  I am using a 22" WSM for this smoke. Everything I have smoked so far has turned out great, very moist and tasty. The Brisket I smoked had a great bark on it.  I am hoping to get the same results here. Mike

    Boston Butt for pulled Pork

    Thank you Noboundaries! I have been stressing on this as I am cooking for my whole family tomorrow and want to be able to have it ready by 5:30pm! Cranking up the heat goes against the "Slow and Low" idea but if it beats 15 hours it is a win! I just measured the meat and it is 5" thick and 9...

    22.5 lb Turkey

    Thanks Guys, I am going for it!! And I have thought about spatch cocking the bird but am not sure it will fit when laid out like that.  Do you think lower than 300 would be safe?  My last bird was so juicy and tender I could not believe it.  I just injected butter and garlic under the skin with...
