Tried my hand at pulled pork over the weekend. Used Costco boneless pork butts, ended up about 14lbs total. I went pretty simple with my rub, used homemade mustard as a binder, salt and pepper. I put in a water pan with 50/50 water and apple cider vinegar as I was going to be cooking this overnight and wouldn't be able to mob/spray it on a regular basis. Didn't take as many pictures as I wanted but got a few quality isn't great sorry about that.
Rubbed and ready for the smoker:
After about 12 hours, temp was about 185
Another 2 hours and we were at 198 but nice and tender so I pulled them to rest
After resting for 2 hours I pulled it. I used a pretty simple finishing sauce of vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper.
All in all I think it came out well for my first shot. Family seemed to like it as there isn't any left so I think I'll just be forced into doing it again!
