Ok ive got a couple of pork butts im going to be smoking looking for all the help i can get. This is my first time doing these so all pointers and tips please. Internal temp im looking for and cooking temp? Also how long do you actually put smoke on these? Ill be using a bradley smoker just so you know. Thanks for the help in advanced.
 
Cook 225-325,hotter will kill the stall. Cook till 200-205 give the bone a wiggle if you have one should pull freely and mostly clean. Smoke till you foil or smoke the whole time if you go naked. Rest wrapped in foil then wrapped in a towel in a dry cooler for about an hour or your ready to pull for eating. Pork butts can take a long time be ready and patient!

I use a pit smoker and I smoke mine until they get a nice color and bark, usually about 3 hours around 150-175. Then I usually put mine in a foil pan and cover with foil. I the run the temp up to a little over 200 and go another 3 hours. Get IT to 165 and the bone separates so it can be pulled out. It should tear apart easily. Get the fatty pieces out and I add a little apple cider vinegar 1/4 - 1/2 cup, and red pepper flakes. You will want to get the IT above 135-40 in the first 3-4 hours to keep from spoilage I believe.

Hi Peeks,
Here's my Step by Step on Pulled Pork Butt:

Click here:
You have to get to at least 195° IT for pulled cPork---Most go to Between 200° and 205° IT.

I wrap at 155 - 165 then remove from smoker when IT 190, and wrap with blankets to rest for at least 2 hours sometimes as much as 4 hours.
