My buddy and I are going to try smoke some pork tomorrow for supper. I am going to buy a 7.5 pound pork butt and it is $15 at hy-vee. I am not sure about prices but that sounds reasonable at 2 bucks a pound. I have read the sticky on pulled pork and just want to ask a few clarifying questions. I am going to smoke it at 230ish until it gets to 165 IT. After that I quit making smoke and wrap it in foil and just leave it in there at 230 until the IT is 195-205 and then set it in towel in a cooler and let sit for at least an hour. Do I need to trim any fat off the pork butt? Should the fat be up or down and do I need to spray apple juice on it at all when it is smoking? Any other tips would be appreciated and there will be Q-view to follow up this post when we are finished. Also how long on average does a 7.5 butt take to get to 200 IT? Thanks for all the help.
